Still grappling with his shocking primary defeat, Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) said Thursday that he will not endorse GOP Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell because he could not tolerate some of the "personal smears" he faced during the campaign.
Castle has spent the past 36 hours fielding phone calls and pats on the back from well-wishing colleagues and other politicians, including President Obama, Vice President Biden, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and dozens of others. He said that he was coming to grips with the reasons for his defeat - a conservative rebellion in the southern portion of the state that was given extra ammunition by Sarah Palin's endorsement of O'Donnell. But he said that there probably wasn't enough time in the next six weeks for him to get over some of the attacks lobbed in the contest.

Wow bad form.
True to form, neither he or Rove are going to support Conservatism in Delaware. Imagine that...
Bye bye asswipe.
Hey Mike, Didi Scarfaloofer is looking for company. You might get lucky. Don’t go away mad, just go away.
don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out mike...
Jeez! What a diva!
This is so unbecoming for a man of his age and stature.
Castle is apparently still getting advice from Tokyo Rove.
HE talks about attacks? My husband and I thought his attack ads against O’Donnell were some of the nastiest we’d ever seen. We’re in the Philly area, so we’ve seen some bad ones. What arrogance!
Guess he hasn’t found his “man pants” yet.
LOL
I hope he and Bill Christ are VERY HAPPY together.
They deserve each other.
Here's 25.00 from Hollywood,California
So conservatives are required to bury their beliefs and support RINO sell-outs, but those self same RINOs will NOT support conservatives!!! Apparently we are just not classy enough for them!! Well I have two words for Castle, Rove and company...
exactly ...another sore loserman
*sniff*
I am not surprised; “scorched earth” campaigning in the primaries are going to divide the voters. I am sure if Castle had won, many of O’Donnell’s supporters would not support Castle. The same thing happened in Arizona. A lot of JD supporters said they would write JD’s name in or vote for the Libertarian. I hope things get worked out and O’Donnell wins.
Has the GOP asked for it’s money back?
Will he support Chris Coons?
Another sore loser.
Hey did the MD GOP ever change their mind about supporting the winner? lol
RINO’s would rather elect Dem’s than conservatives
