Notice that this pretty well coincides with the negative attack campaign!

Little Delaware is playing a big role in the Republican Party’s nationwide effort to win back Congress.
The national party on Thursday demonstrated its willingness to pour money into the state’s Republican candidates campaigns, announcing that it would provide three staffers responsible for outreach efforts and voter turnout drives.
Calling the bulked-up staffing “unprecedented” in Delaware, Republicans are hopeful that additional support will augment their chances in November in a year many expect to bring big wins for the party.
Republicans already are eyeing a victory they think will be led by strong candidates on the top of the ballot, particularly U.S. Rep. Mike Castle’s bid for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
The new staffers will also work to ensure primary victories for Castle and Michele Rollins, Republicans endorsed by the party.
By pushing more people to the polls, Republicans are hopeful the support will trickle down the ballot and provide big victories in the Legislature, where a fight is brewing for majority control and a say in redistricting.
Delaware has joined such states as Kentucky, Nevada, Arkansas, Florida and Illinois as targets for the Republican push.
“This is our year,” state Republican Chairman Tom Ross said in a statement. “This program is unprecedented in its ability to target voters and spread the message about our candidates and how to get involved.”
A question: If Christine and Urquhart win, will they work as diligently for them?
Although you are wrong, the term RINO has been used by so many different people for so many different reasons that it’s become meaningless.
Apparently, some think that Republicans are supposed to be Liberal. When someone disagrees, they’re RINOs. If someone objects to the National GOP getting involved in a primary where a Conservative is running against a Liberal, and the GOP is on the side of the Liberal, it is the National GOP organization that is in the right and it is the person who objects who is the RINO. I disagree with that take on it. We typically use the term RINO to describe someone who votes with the Democrats more than the Republicans. Castle fits that definition of RINO.
The NRSC is helping RINOs and hurting Conservatives. Yes, it can make one’s head explode with the logical inconsistencies.
