John McCain Win Would Be Good News For Delaware Dems
Whoever wins the primary and the right to challenge Mike Castle for our lone seat in the US House of Representatives should be pulling for a McCain victory for a couple of reasons.
First of all there is the age question. Castle standing next to McCain looks like an ad for “Frightland.” Those two geezers have “go along to get along” establishment written all over them. In a “change” election the Dem running against Castle could not invent a better geriatric loser to put at the top of the ticket to highlight Castle advanced age and commitment to the status quo.
Also, the age situation leads to inevitable judgement questions. While McCain has proven himself to be a loony old coot with his calls to stay in Iraq for 100 years, Castle has been more circumspect on that question. And yet how does the crazy image of McCain not rub off on Castle? Castle has practically married McCain in the press. Even a cursory google search of “John McCain & Mike Castle” could supply a challenger with reams of evidence that Castle thinks McCain’s judgment is still sound. I can just hear questions from a challenger raining down on Castle like a plague of toads. “You’ve said that you trust John McCain, and yet…(fill in the blank with some off the wall statement from McCain.)”
In the end, of course, Castle is going to tough to beat – but a McCain win the primary definitely moves us toward a Democrat in the house.
wait! you are saying a guy that is known as a maverick and has spent 40 years in washington is the right person to promote change????
you don’t know how washington operates pal! It takes a maverick to move mountains and slash through red tape!
Castle has practically married McCain ????
I think not…that would be polygemy (sp.) he’s already married to Carper (check out Snooze photos…see one, see ’em both).
Campaigning together you say? More than probable….Castle gets a lot of Dem votes…couldn’t win w/o ’em. Those are Carperites stacking the vote against change.
whoever!
You could’t more correct! Torturin’ Tom and Sandcastle, “birds of a feather”. Carper has great influence on the party loyals! Ain’t nothin happenin Torturin’ Tom didn’t okay.
Sandcastle has been foolin the citizens for decades! Check out both of their contributors lists, their “donors” and its no rocket science to determine “who are the puppeters”!
Notice Torturin’ Tom and Sandcastle hide behind the “local yocal media gatekeepers”, not only do they not hold public meetings, they won’t take phone calls and questions from “we the people”. Whose got the broom!
