You are to be forgiven if you have no idea that the Republicans are meeting today to give out party endorsements. I have only really seen it discussed on the blogs on the other side of the political spectrum. But the comments section of those threads have been highly entertaining.
The local tea partiers like the 9-12 “patriots” and others have been beating the drum to get Mike Castle ousted and to nip the Michelle Rollins machine in the bud. It is easy to reject these sorts of stupidity. For one, Christine O’Donnell and Urquhart/Wade are awful candidates. But these guys are such scorched earth operators that they have already turned the potentially sympathetic delegates against their candidates with their stupidity. Evan Q, a frequent commenter and occasional thinker, decided to send out a mailer to all delegates. Unfortunately, he mailed it out on his organizations letterhead, making it look like an organization had endorsed O’Donnell. Personally, I wonder if the organization is a non-profit. But apparently only candidates have access to the mailing list, so the question is who gave Evan the list and why did Evan “give it to an organization” for mailing?
Either way, let me make it clear, I would love for O’Donnell and Urquhart/Wade to knock off the favorites. I would LOVE it! But even if they do, the real candidate is the one that wins the primary, so even if they win today, they will still be losers.
