Wow. Rasmussen reported today that Republican Mike Castle leads likely democrat Chris Coons 56% to 27% in the Delaware Senate race:

A first look at Delaware’s U.S. Senate race following Beau Biden’s decision not to run shows why Democrats were hoping Biden would enter the race.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Delaware voters shows longtime GOP congressman Mike Castle leading New Castle County Executive Chris Coons 56% to 27%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and 13% are undecided.

The survey was taken Monday night following the announcement by Biden, the state’s Democratic attorney general, that he will not run for the Senate. In October, Castle led Biden 47% to 42% in a hypothetical match-up for the seat Biden’s father, now the vice president, held for 36 years.

If only we could run an actual Conservative instead of the ultraliberal RINO Castle.

Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., said several developments bode well for climate-change legislation: the arrival of a new president and new chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the growing cooperation of businesses and the realization that such legislation will open up new market opportunities.

"I think all these things combined will give us the opportunity to see something happen in the course of this year," said Castle, who supports a cap-and-trade program.

IMHO Chris Coons is the more conservative of the two.

Personally, I wish Ray Clatworthy would run against Castle in a primary and boot his butt out.
