This race looked quite a bit different in July polling. One poll does not determine the whole race. As was posted yesterday, McCain had a solid lead on Obama at this time in 2008. That seemed to change in the 60 days following.
Our party needs to pick our best candidates. If voting for a 70 year old leftist is the best choice for our party, then we will decide that during the primary. Adding a guy with a Republican name who only will cause massive trouble for us later may not be the best choice. We shall see. I for one learned my lesson in recent years that sometimes the short term benefit of voting for a non-conservative Republican cause us a lot more trouble in the long run as our agenda gets watered down. Charlie Crist, Ahnold, and slew of other demonstrate this belief. Guys like Scott Brown are great picks for the northeast. They are with us 70% of the time and only occasionally go against us. Mike Castle is a leftist. We have to decide if a one vote gain in the Senate is worth a lot of heartburn later.

For those of short memory, that was the Wall Street meltdown. A factor outside McCain’s control. No republican could have won after that incident. No democrat would have lost. Game over.
Do you anticipate a similar upheaval in Delaware ?
