Absolutely perfect, Fishtalk!
You are doing what I've been arguing we all must do if we want to affect real change and have the right kind of impact. Casting a protest vote to punish the Republicans is fine, except when it winds up putting a Dhimmicrat in the seat in the RINO's place. Replacing a RINO with a viable conservative alternative during the primaries or even earlier in the process is the way to go.
Now, you're lined up to run for a local or state office, correct? Why not put your hat into the ring for Mike Castle's seat? Start floating the idea with the ladies at SCRWC and see how they react. It sounds like you've got the ideas and issues that this group wants to hear about, and Burns did say they were the most influential GOP group in the state...
Wow. That's quite a tall order you must understand.
Hey, these ladies are ALL interested in running for an office as I discovered through my chit-chat. But heh, for me to go after a seat in the House, wow..well I gotta think about that. It never even crossed my mind.
But don't worry about me. I am one determined woman and consider myself the perfect age to be running for something, although I was thinking along the lines of county auditor or something. At least I am impressed by the ambition of these women and they are all very, very nice, truth be told. So a goal towards an elected office is not unheard of is what I'm saying here.
But to try an unseat Mike Castle? Man, you think more of me than I do! However, just tween you and I, read the news. Mike Castle had a small stroke just before the election. Hmmmm, health issues and all that. So who the hell knows.
An ambitious Christine O'Donnell ran on a write-in vote and got 12,000 write-ins! The Republican nominee only got 19,000 all together so go with me again, this state of Delaware is in a state of flux. It's not just me is what I'm saying here.
So who the hell knows? But I like it.
