It’s nice, but does it add up to an endorsement?
He could be excused for allowing people to THINK he endorses O’Donnell, but he never comes out and says so.
Just another lousy RINO. In a previous article on WSJ, he actually wrote that America would not be the sorry state we are in, if only SWMNBN were President. This from a man who spoke so eloquently about fiscal responsibility at the Wilmington, DE TEA party.
If Christine O’Donnell somehow loses this election, it will because of the RINOs who won’t lift a finger to help her. First, Castle won’t even mention her name, prompting the RINO party to follow suit. Now comes Pierre DuPont who doesn’t endorse her.
Mark my words, after the election, there will be a purge. Tom Ross and his fellow travelers will be gone. All of Christine’s supporters need to be ready; get appointed/invited to the next state convention in Dover. We are going to raise holy Hades.
GO CHRISTINE!!
What is Dupont saving his political capital for? An important election? /sarc
What a weasel! Another gutless RINO without the backbone to endorse O’Donnell.
As a former Delawarean I can tell you that the majority of Republican politicians and most voters in Delaware are RINO’s. Pete DuPont, RINO that he may be, is a well respected person with both Delaware Republicans and a good number of independents.
O’Donnell already has the Conservative vote, so there is no need to reach out to them. What Pete DuPont has done is call on the RINOs and Independents in Delaware, and formal endorsement or not, his article can do more good than bad.
Nice article by Pete DuPont. I lived in Delaware from 1973 to 2003 and still think he was the best governor we ever had. Its too bad that he never caught on as a presidential candidate.
Notice how DuPont, in this article, stays focused on issues and the differences between the two candidates. If Republicans can continue to do this nationally they will prevail in a big way over the next few election cycles.
Its a shame that Christine O’Donnell will lose on November 2nd. I think she would be a fine Senator. Her biggest problem is her lack of experience as an elected official...and that will ultimately lead to her defeat. The non-issues (witchcraft, views on sex) are distractions that could be overcome if she had a better resume. Nonetheless, I’m glad that she took out Mike Castle who is a fine man, but has moved further and further to the left since he went to Washington as DE’s congressman. He unfortunately allowed himself too get to close to Joe Biden and his vote for cap and trade was the last straw for many DE Republicans.
This is DuPont giving Castle Republicans coverage to vote for Christine, by pointing out it really is a vote against Obama/Coons. For her to win the nominally GOP base needs to unite, if not behind her then at least against Obama/Coons. Castle’s conniption fit opposes that. DuPont is the only GOP grownup who might trump Castle in DE. May it work!
I don’t know how conservative Pete DuPont is, but I do know that many members of the family are very conservative, and can be seen at Traditional Latin Masses around the Delaware Valley. They are pro-life, pro family, and are for fiscal sanity. So I’m sure more than a few of them are not only O’Donnell supporters, but probably voted for her in the primary against Castle.
