There is a case for Republicans in Delaware to support career liberal politician Mike Castle in the upcoming Republican senate primary. It is a weak and cynical case, and it denies the political realities of 2010. But nevertheless, there is a case. What, you might ask, could induce a conservative who believes in The First Amendment to vote for a politician who co-sponsored the recently passed Disclose Act, an act designed to stifle free speech and gag opposition to establishment politicians? What would cause a Second Amendment supporter to vote for a politician who has earned an F- grade from The NRA? And how could an advocate for life pull the lever for a pro-abortion candidate? There must be a compelling reason for free enterprise believing Republicans to be asked to support a man who supported TARP, Cash for Clunkers, Cap and Trade and the auto industry and bank takeovers. Those who oppose socialized medicine would need to have a strong motivation to support a candidate opposed to the repeal of Obama-care. What is the case for Castle? It comes down to this. Castle campaign workers and old guard GOP operatives, supported by corporate money, are parroting a single talking point. It is that Mike Castle can supposedly win, giving the Republicans a senate pickup, and his opponent, Christine ODonnell, supposedly cannot.
Besides the fact that this argument is cynical if not immoral, it is patently fallacious.....

Learn more. Certainly she is not guilty. But she can be a not guilty kick ass conservative U.S. Senator too. She can beat this socialist enabling RINO leach. Spread the word and help her out if you can.
Unfortunately, the Greenville Republicans and the RNC do. Fed-up Republicans and Reagan Democrats support Christine.
Castle is such an ass... we have GOT to get rid of him!
Is Delaware’s primary open or closed?
That scumbag Castle must not win. He must not be rewarded with votes, ever.
Better the actual Democrat win than the Democrat parading as a Republican.
Personally, I’d rather be stabbed in the face than knifed in the back.
Yeah, Castle and Cao. Two abyssmal disappointments that should be drummed out of office when their terms are up.
The DE primary is closed.
And the GOP leadership ought to oust him.
We need to send guys like Castle a message.
Then there's his opponent, who takes months to raise a few thousand dollars. But I have to wonder...how is she going to win a general election and make momentous decisions if she can't even do this...or pay her mortgage...or give specifics on things...or make proper FEC filings...or...?
In contrast people cheered Christine...!
I'm sending Christine some more money, I want this SOB out of office and the sooner the better.
Head to head, Christine beats Coons (D) - Rasmussen
O’Donnell 41
Coons 39
