Hoefully Castle will resign now.

I have a different take on this whole “only RINOs can win meme” we keep hearing.
First of all, isn’t that how the MSM sold us McCain in the GOP primaries in 2008?

And why do we buy this line?
It seems to me that career New England RINOs who have been around since the Ford administration are the ones who have held Republicans back in those states. Tea Party candidates are like Ronald Reagan all over again. They said he was unelectable, too, but he was the last Republican to carry many of those states. It’s the RINOs who make the Republican brand not worth voting for in New England.

Rush today said that Christine's 35% total in 2008 was nearly identical to McCain's 2008 total.

Being McCain was a RINO, shouldn't he have won in DE?
