Of course O’Donnell can win the general. I can also encounter the Virgin Mary tomorrow. Or win the lottery. Life is full of surprises.
Every sensible Republican that I know in DE is proudly voting for Castle on Tuesday and again in November. Castle can easily nail down this Senate seat for the GOP - an immediate +1 pickup. Per NRO and my own experience, Castle is very good on fiscal issues, is a spending and deficit hawk, and is exceptional on foreign policy and defense issues. Castle voted AGAINST the Obama stimulus. Castle voted AGAINST Obamacare. Castle FAVORS making the Bush tax cuts permanent and freezing or cutting federal spending.
Yes, Castle cast a HORRIBLE vote for cap and trade. So be it. He has been wrong on various environmental issues for years.
As was seen last December over the health care battle, not one RINO caved under enormous pressure from Reid and the MSM. Snowe, Collins, every Republican stayed in camp. By contrast, all the so-called conservative RATS caved.
I will take a sure-thing electable Republican who agrees with me 70 percent of the time over a Democrat who agrees with me zero percent of the time every day of the week. Castle will also provide critical down-ballot coattails in November, including the critical State legislative races + State Treasurer, where a true conservative has a good shot - Colin Bonini.
Fortunately, the Castle machine is primed for battle and will bury O’Donnell on Tuesday.
If hard core freepers don’t agree, so be it. We’ll agree on many other matters in the days to come.
“Fortunately, the Castle machine is primed for battle and will bury O’Donnell on Tuesday.”
The Murkowski machine and the GOP in AL were primed for battle too. And they had held the Senate Seat in Alaska even longer than castle has been in Congress.
I didn’t gloat at some of the Freepers here who predicted that Murk would crush Miller. But I am going to remind you how wrong you are in making this prediction. The Delaware Freepers here, including MLF, Delawhere and De Conservative are saying just what the AK freepers were saying before Miller shocked the world. I trust ther view of matters on te ground more than you and your “sensible” Republicans. Are these the Repubs who oppose the 2nd Amendment and support cap nd tax and tax fund ed abortion and don’t want to repeal Obamacare like Castle?
70 percent, maybe; 28 percent, no way.
All I know about Castle is that he pretty consistently votes with the dems, including Obama.
All I know about O’Donnell is that all the people who DO know something and whom I respect, including Sarah Palin and Rush are for her.
So this happens next Tuesday. Let’s hope she wins. If she does win the primary, she will win the general. The dems put a stalking horse out there, which kinda shows what they think of Castle.
“who agrees with me 70 percent of the time”
Let see.
Supports Obamacare.
Supports Crap and Trade.
Supports gay marriage
Supports abortion.
And you say you agree with him 70 percent of the time? I’m not seeing how he’s any different than San Fran Nan.
Then those sensible Republicans don't have much sense.
