Breaking News: Beau Biden Runs!!!!
Yesterday, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden ran the Delaware Distance Classic 15 K (9 miles) at Frawley Stadium and finished in 9th place in his age group (40 to 44) and 51st overall. His time was 1:04:49. Mike Castle did not enter the race.
Castle is in, but his fundraising still laggs.
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.
O’Donnell Gets Her Peak Wingnut On.
Let’s be honest here. Republicans are in full freak mode today over the Nobel Peace Prize because they do not like the Nobel Peace Prize. They do not like diplomacy. They do not like international cooperation. They do not like the pursuit of a real peace. They will say they want peace, but the peace they seek is a Pax Americana, where America achieves peace through the forced subjugation of the entire planet. What they like is bombs, body counts and war. For that is what brings them their peace. Add to that the fact that Republicans really really really, and I mean really hate President Obama. He drives them bonkers, rabidly insane. So when you have President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, you have the recipe for Peak Wingnut. A perfect storm of conservative self immolation that would be hysterical if these same conservatives were not also in control of this nation’s only viable minority party.
Biden Favored to Hold Senate Seat for Dems
Yes, you read that right. The conventional wisdom is that Castle’s entrance into the Senate race not only makes this race competitive, but also makes Castle the likely winner of the race no matter who he faces. However, Public Policy Polling says that if Beau Biden runs, Democrats still favored to keep the seat. When […]
The Musical Chairs Stop
Castle is in. I must say I am pretty surprised by his decision. Everything over the past year, from his anemic fundraising to his delays in announcing to his lukewarm uninterested comments on the race to his wife’s desire for a Florida retirement to his confrontations with the Crazy Eileens of downstate to his health […]

The Invincible Mike Castle
I know there are posters here that believe Mike Castle is unbeatable and that if he enters the Senate race, he’ll win. It may be true that Castle would win the race, but he will have to work for it and not rely on his name recognition and nice guy reputation. I believe that Mike […]

Another Deadline Whizzes By
So, does everyone remember back in June when Mike Castle said he would make a decision on his future by August 30? So far, no announcements yet. I think the longer Mike Castle doesn’t make a decision the more likely Castle will be the Senate candidate by default. OK, tea leaf readers, what are your […]
