Bob Casey is generally known to be a [[conservative Democrat]]. Like his father, he is strongly [[pro-life]]. Casey's election gives Pennsylvania the distinction of being represented in the Senate by a pro-life Democrat and a pro-choice Republican ([[Arlen Specter]]); each holds the position opposite to what is common for their respective national parties. This shows that the Pennsylvania electorate prefers political moderates. However, Casey agrees with liberals on immigration. He supports the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), a bill voted down in the 110th United States Congress, which could have provided a path to legal citizenship for [[illegal alien]]s currently residing in the [[United States]]".

Rick Santorum and other Republican leaders have criticized Casey as being an "opportunist." Citing that he ran for four different statewide offices in six years. Another issue that Casey has been criticized for is his attendance as Pennsylvania state treasurer (a position he held from 2005-2007). During his first year as a candidate for U.S. Senate, State Treasurer Bob Casey spent half of his work days away from the office, according to an analysis of records provided by his campaign.
