Castle did himself a lot of harm last night. He was a no-show at a town hall Q & A. Seems like coffee and cookies at the other end of the state was more important. Judging by crowd reaction, it cost him some votes.

Christine O’Donnell, while frustrated at Castle’s bad manners, rose above it and comported herself quite well.

GO CHRISTINE.

Even with a few RINOs, we're better off with party control. It means Republicans chair all those committees and can thwart Obama the way Reid and the Dems obstructed Bush.

The Dems will have filibuster power even if they lose control but they lose the ability to control the debate if they can't run the chamber. At this point, Gridlock is all we can hope for until 2013.
