Hmmm: Castle took calls from Obama and Biden after losing
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 09/16/2010 3:02:39 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The boss emeritus threw a jolt into the blogosphere by flagging this last night, and with good reason. Is America’s new most famous RINO about to go fully rogue and endorse Coons?

No. Or should I say, not yet?

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.

That is why Rove is acting like such a prick. He’s plan was foiled.

So, now how does Biden save he seat for son Beau? Does he cut a deal with Coons, or derail his campaign? I say deal. Bite me heads to DE next week for Coons.

If Mike Castle becomes the next United States Senator from Delaware he is going to get sworn in, serve a bit, then become a Democrat, resign, and let Beau Biden get an appointment.

It’s a done deal. The deal has been made already. I’m hearing this not just from Christine O’Donnell people, but party regulars in Delaware, some of whom support Castle. It is insane.

Maybe that is why Mike Castle is running from Christine O’Donnell. He is afraid to have to answer questions about this. The man will not debate her to save his life.

What did Rush say about Tokyo Rove’s attack on O’donnel on Greta?

Wow! I missed that (well, not being from Delaware, I didn't follow that closely).

Thanks to both of you for the info!

If Coons wins...Beau is stuck.
If Christine wins....Beau will challenge her at the next election. 2 years?

I believe Coons is married into or related to the Gore family of W.L.Gore and Associates of Goretex fame and fortune.

That’s what I heard (Coons was throwaway candidate ... they were just fine with Castle).

Since the election, Castle has shown his true colors in spades. What a classless loser. More and more thankful he lost.

Last I heard, he still hadn’t congratulated Christene

Some dems at least pretend to have manners.

If he is a descendant of BF...it is probably through BF’s traitor son's line. The last royal governor of NJ whom BF disowned !!

And NJ Christie just endorsed Castle last week.

No! Not the Gov. Christie whom some Freepers last year thought would be a good candidate for President? Not him.

“Why should he take his anger out on the Party? They all supported him!”

I’d like to see some of the Freepers who claimed that “we had to vote for Castle so that we could win” come in this thread with a few comments now.

I challenge them!

To make matters worse, Christie then ripped into the NJ transit worker who was fired for burning a couple of pages from the Koran. Said the man deserved to be fired.

CAIR immediately praised Christie and Obama put Christie on a trade commission.

My comments are not printable.

I’m guessing they want to know if his campaign has any dirt on O’Donell.
