Castle might’ve been 1/3 better than a dem. That 1/3 can be substantial.
The conservatives (which I support mostly) have gone all in, and may well lose the big prize in the end. That would be 1/3 vs 0 and would suck to lose it all.
We’ll see.
The 2/3rd liberal part of Castle could also helped undermine a conservative agenda when it really matters -- after 2012.
There is absolutely no reason conservative Republicans can't be the majority in the Senate after the 2012 election.
You could be right. I’m a little torn when it comes to such things. People need to realize that we have a large diverse country, and a conservative that wins every race in Alabama won’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell in the North East.
Might not be the best idea to let ‘perfect be the enemy of the good’(or however the saying goes). At the same time, that Castle guy has taken some pretty radical left positions in the past. He shouldn’t have even been in the running, IMO. For God’s sake, you can be a “moderate” republican, and NOT support impeaching Bush.... That’s just over the top!
This view is what got us McCain in '08. Better a moderate to help pull in the liberal New England states. Looks like tonight shows there are more conservative R's than moderate R's, even in DE.
Maybe the demographics are changing as we watch. Maybe the time has come the change the strategy. Maybe, just maybe, we are reaching critical mass on people paying attention.
If I understand your post, my coment...
BS!
