This editorial framed as a news story is not surprising.
Don’t shade Delaware a fully blue state quite yet
Even though Democrats Barack Obama and Jack Markell easily won in Delaware last November, there still is a Republican to be reckoned with.
According to a poll released Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mike Castle has more support today than Attorney General Beau Biden, should the two run in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Beau’s father, Joe, just before he was sworn in as vice president.
More support? Really?
Mike Castle was a two-term Governor and has been a congressman for over a decade and Biden keeps him under 50%. That is horrible news for Castle. Having 20 percent undecided on a public official that has served Delaware for over 20 years is horrible news for Castle.
Mike Castle by some accounts is a decent guy, but his party has failed the country. If after serving Delaware for over 20 years, Mike Castle can’t register more than 50 percent in a future Senate his is up Shit Creek. If Thursday’s poll results show him under 50% to retain his house seat against Carney he is up Shit Creek and half dead with buzzards poking at him and the search party called off.
Jason’s Bold Prediction: If John Carney holds Castle under 50% the News Journal will report it on Friday as “good news” for Mike Castle.
