What passes for wisdom at the GOP is, in a left-leaning state, don’t run a conservative. Run a Democrat under a GOP flag.

He’ll vote with the Democrats half the time, but he’ll show up on your side of the ledger, which is what counts to them.

I take a different approach. Fight. Persuade. Build consensus for your ideas. And keep fighting and persuading to change peoples’ ideas. Don’t just accept that a left-leaning state must remain a left-leaning state and therefor you must slap a GOP tag on a leftist to get elected.

Guys like Rove have no idea how much we despise guys like Castle and since his public tantrum, Rove himself.

Are Delaware voters allowed to cross party lines in a General Election & vote for whom they want, instead of a straight party ticket?

“People often define themselves much differently, however, and look for candidates ‘who understand my problems’ or ‘is a regular person just like me.’ “

EXACTLY! Someone actually gets it!

O’Donnell is in the same boat as Scott Brown and Gov. Christie.

Don't forget Pat Toomey and Marco Rubio, who the powers that be within the GOP and liberal media told us had no chance of winning.

You actually believe the government can tell you not to cross party lines?
If that was true NO GOP’er would ever win anywhere !

And what party do Independents belong to?
