Ping!!
Wow, I thought we had wised up but then I see an article like this. The choice was clear: run a RINO and win, run a conservative and lose. People chose the latter. Now, that’s fine, and I will not second guess their choices, so long as they don’t second guess the results. Mike Castle would have won. Christine lost. End of story. Was it worth it to run a candidate more in line with conservatism and lose? Or would it have been better to run a RINO who may or may not be in your corner? Not sure, but it is what it is. This internecine finger-pointing is stupid beyond measure.
This rule has been broken before, has it not?
What makes you think that they weren’t trying to lose?
And you know for a fact that Castle would have won?
that’s not quite what the article says. it’s more like run our chosen candidate and win or run your candidate and we will not help you win.
Dishonorable retread troll zot!

Piss off, redneck. Go drink another Hamm’s, it’s only two o’clock, you want to finish that twenty-four pack by the time your wife gets home so you can get to the beatings by five.

It proves again that RINOs @/or dems don’t care what is written on paper. That’s for people of character to go by rules & never do these liberals suffer any consequences.
Castle is a rampant RINO. Will you be telling us how great Mikey Bloomberg is next? Maybe if we had treated him better he wouldn’t have left the party. Are you going to invite him back for another shot at us?
The Elites and RINOs, to borrow Kerrys favorite phrase, “would not have” someone like Christine O’Donnell elected to the US Senate. They simply would not have it!
Not necessarily so, according to this analysis of voter registration: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2631149/posts
What did you want us to do, ratify Castle’s cap and trade vote? Time to let them know they’ll be held accountable.
that’s exactly the RINO game. if our candidate wins support us. if your candidate wins good luck (if only it were just “good luck”; they actually do everything to make sure the conservative doesn’t win the general).
I saw no finger-pointing in this post; only a well-documented, well-reasoned expose’ of the establishment GOP in Delaware undercutting their own nominee along with Rove-led beltway gurus.
How have your first thirteen days on FR been?
Well, one good thing to come out of all this is that another squish bit the dust. Mike Castle would be an impediment to everything we’re trying to accomplish. At least with Coons you pretty much know what you’re dealing with up front.
Both sides of the aisle need to be cleaned out.
Outstanding!
Can I sue the GOP to get back the $100 I donated to O’Donnell’s campaign?
Your argument is faulty. The NRC rule prohibits the NRC from backing a candidate in a primary. The Delaware rule saying it follows the national rule does NOT mean that the delaware committee can’t back a candidate in the primary — that would require the RNC rules to state that STATE committees can’t back candidates.
I think it’s stupid for a state party to back candidates in the primary, but it’s not a violation of RNC rules.
I also believe you are wrong that their actions cost them the election. There was nothing the state committee could ever have done to get O’Donnell a victory, and there are even some who now say Castle couldn’t have won either.
I don’t think COD’s almost 51,000 vote loss can be attritubed to anything more than the voters of DE chose not to vote for her in sufficient numbers for her to win in 10 just like they didn’t vote in sufficient numbers for her in 08 and 06.
It’s not like a 30 mile wide by 96 mile long state can’t be covered if one has a good organization....
