News Analysis: Mike Castle Will Not Run. If He Runs He Will Not Win.
Yes. It is that simple.
Mike Castle's financial report confirms what we all know. Mike Castle's heart is not in a Senate run and while he claims that the fundraising will come if he decides to run - that easy going attitude is yet another tell. He has spent the past year burning something that is as valuable in politics as money...time. And even today he is ostentatiously not campaigning. Why?

Senator Adams’ Last Punch in the Gut
I have been talking to a few people downstate recently and have been getting a feel for the race for Adams seat. Honestly, I don't know a damned thing about Polly, so I cannot tell you whether or not she would make a good Senator or not...

It is about the Violent Crimes Compensation Board (now re-formed as the Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program) and what the restructuring meant to one of Thurman Adams' friends, Leah Betts.
Evening Castle Update
The Post's Chris Cilzza has this to say about the GOP's prospects of holding onto Castle's seat in the house and some wingnut who hates reality is mad at Castle.
Classic Protack from 2006

Okay. Mike Castle is our Next Senator. It has been decided on high.
All the signs are pointing to a Castle Senate run and I appears that the fix is in. Just check out the Newark Post coverage of the AMTRACK stimulus event:
The Amtrak Bear Car Shops took time out to celebrate the completion of the first passenger car to be rebuilt with stimulus funds. Sen. Thomas Carper, Gov. Jack Markell and U.S. Rep. Mike Castle joined Amtrak CEO Joseph Boardman and employees at the sprawling complex off Route 40 to tour the rebuilt car that was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
