Favorable and Unfavorable Behavior

Filed in National by on February 14, 2009

Except among looney birds, the Republicans have not helped their brand since they went “all in” on working to derail economic recovery.

Check out these numbers from daily kos:

For Mike Castle it is getting bleaker and bleaker. He has chosen to ally himself with a group that a large majority of Delawareans find detestable.

This from the centrist “DelawareforObama” list:

Yes, I have voted for Mike – he has met personally with (– edited to preserve confidentiality –) and we have discussed ways to get NIH to quit letting their scientists pick a disease and then be in charge of anything that gets funded – or doesn’t get funded – which has been one of our greatest problems.

But it really is time to start thinking about who would make a strong Democratic candidate for the House – in a state that only gets one representative.

Rock on!

    This is lightly adapted from a kos diary:

    Mike Castle voted against the biggest MIDDLE-CLASS tax cut in American history, after voting FOR Bush’s gigantic tax cuts for the rich. The ads just write themselves:

    Under George Bush, Congressman Castle voted to give huge tax breaks to the super rich and to corporations that cut jobs. In 2009, Mike Castle voted against President Obama’s Jobs Creation program, and against the biggest MIDDLE-CLASS tax cuts in history–the same tax cuts for 95% of Americans President Obama promised the American People. You need a representative in Congress who is on YOUR side for a change.

    What is interesting about that poll is that the only strength Rs even have is still in the South (but take a look at the Boehner and McConnell numbers!) and even that is weak. And Congressional Republicans are definitely quite weak in the NE. Castle, I think gets a pass here as a result of the Delaware Way, but someone(s) with a strong message that Castle PLUS the Delaware Way are now actively detrimental to the interests of the state would likely get a good hearing.

    Those numbers for Congressional Republicans are terrible. They are certainly not helping themselves.

    Cassandra,

    I’ve been beating this drum for a while and I suddenly feel the earth shifting below our feet.

    This afternoon someone who has never talked politics with me said that they had no idea until now that Castle was so bad.

    I think the ads against Castle are a brilliant idea.

    I saw a TOM CARPER ad on TV last night… I wasn’t really paying attention and it was over before I could believe what I was looking at… he was taking credit for 11 million people on health care or something (S-CHIP I guess).

    Castle voted for that, right? I’ll be really impressed if Carper starts running ads drawing distinctions between his votes and Castle’s.

    You’ll be impressed. I’d be catatonic.
