Well, there is a decent chance that Senate turns out to be 50-50 with Coons (and Biden) giving the decisive vote for Senate Majority leader Schumer for the next 2 years. This is the lasting legacy of Tea Party Express DE operation.
What did people expect from this? She can hardly make it into thirties.
The only question is whether she’ll do better (percentage of the vote wise) than Alvin Greene.
We at least won’t see RINO Castle stabbing the Conservatives from the rear, and we would get to clearly see Coons the Marxist enemy from the front.
Which means only base support. Its where Bush was at the end of his term and may be where Obama is headed. Candidates who only win their base and little or nothing else are going to get slaughtered 2:1 or worse. IF it turns out this way this story will trump almost any other on Election Day in the mainstream press. They'll spin it as a huge "win" for Obama and a national repudiation of the Tea Party and the 'Pubs, even if they win everywhere else (unlikely as that is).
Yeahhhh, it’s too bad we won’t have Castle there to break the tie! He always stood with the repubs. /LOL
One loss in a very blue state like Delaware means very little.
I would much rather have 49 or 50 in the GOP than 52 with Castle.
With friends like those you really don't need enemies. Plus, the fear of God should be in L. Graham and other RINOS.
Really? With a 50-50 Senate, and Castle's GOP voting record at 52 percent? A guy who can't bring himself to endorse the Republican primary victor? It woulda been Castle voting for Schumer instead. I guess whatever bribe they might have given Castle for bolting the caucus would have gone to Delaware, but that's about the only difference in outcomes. And the fact that CASTLE'S GONE.
So, you’re assuming that the GOP gives up on cloture votes?
Your post doesn’t make sense to me. If a bill gets to the point that Biden’s vote makes the difference, then it isn’t Delaware’s fault. It would mean that many in the GOP voted to end debate on that bill.
