Castle will not endorse O’Donnell, and will not run write in campaign
Good for him. I would have lost what respect I had left for him if he had done that. Indeed, if Ross and the rest of the state GOP endorse her, they will confirm themselves to be without principles (which will ironically prove O’Donnell right, at least about that one thing). Ross should make the rumors true and resign. So should the rest of the state GOP. There is no coming back from this election result for the state GOP. From what was said to the shocking result, there can be no healing between the two camps.
A Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) campaign source confirmed to The Hill late Tuesday that the longtime congressman will not be endorsing Christine O’Donnell. […] As to whether the national party would back O’Donnell, a Castle campaign source said the campaign has no knowledge of their thinking but said “they should save their money.”
Well, as we noted earlier, the NRSC has packed its bags and left town, refusing to help O’Donnell with money or manpower. The RNC has no money. So if O’Donnell wants help, it will have to come from Palin and the Teabaggers Express. Side question, are the Teabaggers Express like regular teabaggers, just quicker?
After the stunning primary loss, Castle’s campaign also said the longtime congressman is not interested in waging a write in bid this November.
And my respect for Mike grows a little bit.
So all the hateful energy and money of national teabaggers will now be focused on Delaware.
Chris Coons must be thinking “This is NOT what I signed up for!!”
You mean Chris “the worst human being in history, worser even than Hitler” Coons ?
I guess now we get to see what Coons looks like with a Hitler moustache.
Respect Castle ? He could have used his moment last night to point out that the Republican party has gone off the rails and is a hateful unAmerican enterprise overrun by grifters and religious fanatics. He choked.
I’m not surprised by any of this. You can’t spend weeks saying your opponent is not fit to hold office then turn around and endorse her. Also, we all thought Castle’s heart wasn’t really in it so it isn’t a surprise he doesn’t want to wage a futile write-in campaign.
Enjoy your retirement Rep. Castle! I hope you become a voice of sanity for the Republican party.
He could have used his moment last night to point out that the Republican party has gone off the rails and is a hateful unAmerican enterprise overrun by grifters and religious fanatics. He choked.
He probably was literally choking. Give him a few days to collect his thoughts. He still has a chance to say the right things in retirement.
Good that Castle isn’t running. Nobody wants to split up the anti-O’Donnell vote.
“Side question, are the Teabaggers Express like regular teabaggers, just quicker?”
They suffer from premature teabaculation. Or is it teabaggis interuptus?
