Castle is in, but his fundraising still laggs.

By Delaware Dem October 10, 200918 Comments

In the Delaware Senate race, it is good news/bad news for the GOP. The good news: newly minted Senate candidate Mike Castle is sitting on over three-quarters of a million cash-on-hand. The bad news: he raised just eighty-seven grand for the quarter, which makes it evident that he was hardly "ramping up" for his Senate bid.

Beau Biden for Senate buttons are being sold on eBay. They look amateurish, not unlike something Cafepress would put out. I highly doubt these are official.

Biden Watch, Day Three

By Delaware Dem October 8, 20092 Comments

If Biden were to run, I have said before his model for the campaign would be Carper v. Roth or Obama v. McCain, respectful of the elder opponent's long service but critical of his failed ideas of the past. That is a civilized race. However, when Castle says it, you get the feeling a "civilized race" to him would be no criticism of his record at all, and if there is criticism of him, it would be the worst negative attack in the history of politics. That is why I want Biden to run, because Castle deserves criticism for his long running arrogance.
