If you know Delaware, you would know the voters usually vote for incumbents. That’s how Senator Bill Roth was elected for years and years. Last time I checked, Coons wasn’t an incumbent.
He must be Castle's domestic partner.
Really? They already held that election and Coons already won?
Have you learned nothing from the elections of the last year?
I asked “you” a question and that’s “your” answer?
Would Coons be worse than Castle, about the same, or better than Castle on conservative issues?
No one knows for sure. They are both terrible on nearly everything. But there is one characteristic that, in my estimation, makes Coons at least potentially more restrained in his destructiveness than Castle: Accountability.
If Castle runs and wins, he will serve only four years, and everyone knows it. He will never face the voters again and is thus no more accountable to them than Elena Kagan. Coons’ worst instincts will be cabined (at least theoretically) by the fear of retribution at the polls. Castle will have no such restraints and will be free to trash the Constitution with impunity.
Well, it seems to me, I would rather have the “dog catcher” here than elect a craven “DemocRAT” such as Castle. And O’Connell is no dog catcher.
What makes me shake my head in disbelief is all these so called “Conservative pundits” seeming to want Castle. It don’t make any sense.
I would rather elect a yellow dog to that office rather than a backstabbing Rino. At least the dog is trainable.
Thank you!
Thatus isus bullsh#tus.
If you don't have O'Donnell, you will have a Dem RINO either way come Nov. 3rd.
“That Mac guy....he’s all over the place defending Castle.”
What is he? a sleeper cell?
It was also Massachusetts.
I told you “I’m for full disclosure”.
Every source I posted is conservative/republican.
Do you have a problem with that?
Castle has already either “proudly or smugly” annnounced that he intends to vote for kneecap and tax and also against the repeal of obamacare, so why elect him?
Well stated MarkLevinFan, well stated.
God, I hope Christine can pull this off...

FYI, I already “know” what others have said, I am asking “you” why “you” are supporting Castle?
Christ Christie made a fool of himself with his lavish endorsement.
Chris Christie, not Christ.
I think Castle’s got people out and about, all charged with defending the guy.
I have no proof of this but note how the Mac guy has this prepared post kind of thing. He’s always in the minority cause if I’ve noted anything of late, anytime the Castle/O’Donnell race is mentioned on a Blog/Conservative forum, the waaaaaaay vast majority of commenters want Castle out of there. Mike Castle’s reputation preceeds him.
Course my statistics are anecdotal and make no mistake I will jump in and do my best to defend O’Donnell. Also others have kind of canned responses re that political race.
It’s just unusual for Castle have such vocal devotees. He’s hardly anyone any alleged Conservative can defend, espeically on the most Conservative of political forums, Freerepublic.
I’ve seen the same kind of thing on Hot Air/Riehl World/Lucienne. com. The vast majority of the people are anti-Castle, much like the vast majority of Conservatives are sick of the Maine sisters and Didi Scuzzifava, Charlie Crist....that kind of thing.
But Mike Castle, man he’s got loyal defenders who spend entire days defending their guy.
They must be so proud of him.
If Castle runs and wins, he will serve only four years, and everyone knows it
!!!! EXCELLANT POINT !!! the demorats win both ways, get a lefty vote with TheWon 2/3s of the time and a placeholder for Bobo Biden to inherit the family throne in the next election.
ymmv
Castle already voted for Cap and Trade in the House.
Anybody doesn’t think he’d vote for in the Senate....well I got a bridge to sell, real cheap.
With Castle we got a guy we already know his voting record.
And it’s tough to defend though pay attention, there’s “conservatives” giving it their best.
They must be so proud of their guy.
