Coons said he would vote to keep Bush's tax for rich and everyone!

Do you Think he would have promised that if Casle-RINO was the candidate?

Unlike the worst of the O’Donnell cheerleaders, I cannot claim to know for certain what would have happened in a parallel future history track. (My favorite was the CERTAINITY that “Casle-RINO” would have immediately switched parties).

I do however again note my original comment. This was a certain Republican year. The failing economy would have still been the context in which Coon would have to campaign.

So maybe he wouldn’t have made this pledge if that’s what he actually said, or then again maybe the guy understands enough of economics to recognize now isn’t the time to raise taxes. I couldn’t definitively say which.

Bottom line however is Coon didn’t have to pander one iota. Not with such a hapless opponent on the ballot.
