“yet Castle got only 61% of the vote”

61% is a win in my book.

Between the 3 losses in 2010 and the losses in 2012 we could have won, the GOP Senate selection process has managed to entitle Harry Reid as majority leader (indeed we could have knocked him off as Senator with better candidates).

61% is a win in my book.

Irrelevant.

There are Democrats who won State legislature races today won by 90% over an actual opponent.

An incumbent Congressman who has been in office for decades who gets only 61% of the vote against a Democrat spending only $26,000 is dead meat. In 2008 he should have immediately started planning his successor, and the DEGOP should have demanded it.

When your opponent spends only $26,000 for a US House seat and you get only 61% of the vote, you need to take a hint and go into retirement.

Running for Joe Biden's seat while Obama was saying his agenda was at stake, in a State with 57% approval for Obama, Mike Castle would have joined Jan Ting in the high 20's percentage-wise.
