Election 2010: Delaware Senate (lets hear from Delaware Freepers)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 10/01/09 | Rasmussen Reports

The 2010 U.S. Senate race in Delaware is all about the candidates who haven’t decided whether to run yet.

The first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in the state finds that longtime Republican Congressman Mike Castle beats state Attorney General Beau Biden by five points – 47% to 42% - in a hypothetical match-up for the seat Biden’s father held for 36 years. Five percent (5%) like some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

I would like to hear from Delaware Freepers. What is happening in your state? I understand much of the shift towards the Dem's that has happened in your state in recent years has been caused by a loss of suburban voters as Wilmington is like a suburb of Philly(culturally that is). Well Obama is down in Pennsylvania so that must be a loss of in Philly suburbs (I would think). Might that means a swing towards the GOP in Delaware? Young Biden is not running away with this seat against O’Donnell even. It looks to me like there is plenty of room for growth in her totals. I would like your opnions.

I am not in DE but Beau Biden is a corrupt little s*it. Just like Hairy Reid’s boys.

Rep. Mike Castle (R) DE gets reelected in this state every two years. He is a liberal, former governor, who voted for "cap & tax" this year. Delaware is a politically corrupt state. I worked at the committee level for the Republican party for several years until I could no longer stomach the corrupt old boy politics.

I believe that Castle made a deal with the Dems to vacate he congressional seat and leave it open for former Lt. Governor Carney to take. The quid pro quo is that the Dems will not seriously challenge him for Biden's senate seat. Castle represents everything bad about establishment republicans.

Castle may as well run as a Dem. In March 2009 he was rated as the most liberal RINO in the house:

Why even bother. The tarring and feathering should begin with him.

I don’t know about you, but I spent six months in DE righ up to (next to the 2006 election), and I found it the most RINO state I had ever been in (Colin Bonini, sp?) was the Only genuine conservative in the entire state leg. at that time (and even he was wobbly on one or two issues- likeable guy though). As were a few others..

I hated DE, not to say there arent a few good people there, and some Tea Partiers because there ARE!

I have been here for 10 years. You are correct about the politics. Liberals rule and many of the people who should be conservative are simply uninvolved and uninformed. However, there are many great things about this state as well.
