As soon as Republican Rep. Michael N. Castle announced last week that he was running for Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s open Senate seat, election analysts rated the contest a tossup favoring the Republican Party.
Mr. Biden's seat had been rated safely Democratic by all the forecasters.
However, the nine-term congressman and former two-term Delaware governor, who has never lost an election (winning vote totals in the 60 percent to 70 percent range) changed all that with his entry into the race. The Democrats were in danger of losing yet another Senate seat in 2010...

A sign of things to come?
On the surface it seems like good news.
If the Republicans elected are of the Democrat-Lite brand, it will just slow the big government growth cycle.
Don’t worry. The Republican will apologize and dissemble his way to a sure defeat.
If the Democrats pass all the crap bills they have before them it is going to get a lot worse for them. I just hope they reaslise that before they set us off on a course to hell that we cant get out of.
“Endangered Democrats”
Horsefeathers.
ACORN is still there along with Democrat willingness to subvert the electoral process with “brilliant” lawyers and staticians. The egos of pseudo-intellectual “independents” will yet again be stroked by “brilliiant” Democrats, and that hard-core, Democrat base of about fifty percent will always carry the day for “progressives”.
Endangered Democrats? Nonsense. Look forward to seeing the sneering, arrogant countenances of Democrats for a long time to come.
IMHO
many vulnerable demholes...there’s this seat, Gillebrand in NY, Dodd, Reid, whatshername down in Louisiana, if the pubbies put up good candidates, they can take everyone of these, if they put up RINOs, they lose. I don’t think they’ll ever learn.
I don’t want politicians as usual, I want people who have just gotten fed up and have decided enough is enough. I want people with no ties to any special interests, just your average citizen. I know I’m in dream land. “)
“I don’t want politicians as usual”.....I couldn’t agree more Emily. We don’t need more RINO’s in D.C. What we need are people who will follow the Constitution and the principles of this country. We also need - and must have - TERM LIMITS!!! No more career deadbeats living off our money. We also need - and should have - laws against pork items in bills. Unfortunately these changes will come about from the grassroots efforts — not from the bunch in D.C.
Have you not heard, ACORN is in BIG TROUBLE RIGHT NOW,after after all those gottcha videos done in the last few months. ACORN is going down.
Well the main political parties are seeing the tide begin to turn, notice the tea parties and the HUGH one that took place on 9/12/09. A sleeping giant is waking up.
Yep, the Dems are in trouble BIG TIME!
Not if the “purists” stay home and sit on their hands because Castle isn’t a PURE CONSERVATIVE....we will NEVER have a Republican that gives us 40% of what we want when the Democrat gives us 0% of what we want.
We did not know how lucky we were till the Bummer came.
ACORN lying low, but it is defying death

“ACORN is going down.”
ACORN is made up of hardcore supporters of the Democrat Party. If ACORN is broken up, or disbanded, or whatever term you might use, its components will still be effective, in existence, and still active in another form, somewhere else with funds will still be flowing to them.
Also, what happened to the investigation of Panthers in the Philadelphia polling place? They were dressed in boots, uniforms, armed with sticks and “allegedly” intimidating voters. Isn’t it against the law to “electioneer” in a polling place, not to mention electioneering with boots and sticks?
Also, the “press” is still carrying water for the “Progressives” and always will and will stroke the egos of those “brilliant” independents who are nothing but stealth Democrats.
Respectfully, with best regards.

For now, but we will see, remember these liberals ARE NOT IN THE MAJORITY, WE ARE!:)
