Let’s assume for a moment that Castle had won, and his win helped us eke out a 51-49 majority in the Senate. As liberal as he is, does anyone have any doubt that he would be a Jim Jeffords-redux? He’d have enormous power, because there would always be a card up his sleeve called “party-switcher”. Republicans would have to play by his rules to accomplish anything at all. He’d use that power to dilute any true conservative legislation, so he’d effectively be a Democrat agent in plain sight.

I’d rather have no power than that kind of “power” any day.

not only would Castle vote with the rats all the time, it would have been like a hot poker in our sides every single vote....

think of screaming at the top of your lungs and nothing coming out...that is what being double crossed and disenfranchised feels like...which is what Castle would have done to us...

at least we know and hope we'll have some outspoken pubs in there to mix it up...

I just want a voice....
