How about if Castle is the 51st Republican and then goes home, ideologically speaking, by pulling a Jeffords in Jan 2011 and sells his seat to the Dems?

Did you people learn nothing from the Specter defection? The Jeffords sell out? The Crist double cross? The Scuzaffaza treason?

This was a perfectly winnable seat BEFORE the RNC decided to gunk up the works. So rather then cling to a single poll that validates your opinions, try actually THINKING about this race for a change.

You've posted this same argument 3-4 times. Yes, if Castle became a Dem, it would be bad. But as others have pointed out, it would have made more sense for him to make the switch in 2006 or 2008, so he could have been in the majority. If he didn't do so then, why would he do so now?

And even assuming your scenario came to pass, how would that be any worse than the Dem winning the seat outright?
