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.
Deep Anger Management Thought
Even Matt Denn tells me I need to get over it. Just let it wash over me that Mike Castle lied his ass off. He will be our next Senator….Ohhhmmmm….let that manra somehow bring me peace. Matt is wise and I guess he has a point. I’d be a lot more easy going if I […]
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.
Mike Castle Takes Credit For Stimulus Project He Voted Against
Crack reporting by WDEL’s Jim Hilgen leaves out the fact that Mike Castle voted against funding the AMTRACK stimulus project that he is so eager to take credit for.
UPDATED: My Phone Call to Stephanie Fitzpatrick at Mike Castle’s Office RE “Thank You”
UPDATE: 6/17 9:00am Hearing nothing from Stephanie, I called back this morning and asked the same thing as yesterday – except – I remembered that the 20th of this month is Mike Castle’s self-imposed deadline to announce his decision to not run for the US Senate. I reminded Stephanie of that and urged her to […]
Castle a Victim of the Latest Pink Postcard?
I got an interesting email yesterday from someone only identified as “Delaware Republican”. Let set aside, for now, that this is the latest handle used by Mike Protack. The content of the letter is essentially a threat that Mike Castle should retire now or face a hard slog where his age is issue #1. You […]
Castle Sees Writing On The Wall
One of the Washington Post articles on Obama’s 100 days focuses on Delaware Congressman Mike Castle and his friend, Republican Michigan Congressman Fred Upton and their vote against Obama’s budget in January. The money shot isn’t until the last two paragraphs when Castle is quoted as saying: I’m not giving the Republicans a lot of […]
Final Thought
Sometimes I wonder if maybe Tom Carper is encouraging Castle to run for Senate, so they can go on riding Amtrak together for 6 more years. Castle would support Carper’s watered-down no-brainer environmental agenda, Carper would support Castle’s money picture schemes, and together they’d protect big corporations from consumers. I’m not saying Carper would actively […]
Mike Castle: YouTube Will Save Us
I have been told that on Tuesday Mike Castle spoke at a Holocaust Remembrance event. The Congressman apparently was having a senior moment during his remarks. One of his points was that, thanks to YouTube, the holocaust could never happen again. No, I’m not kidding. Let me just say that in Darfur there is a […]
Castle Not Running for Senate.
Get used to that headline. The 2010 general election is approximately 500 days away. Yes, that is a long time and anything can happen, but in this day and age, if a politician does have serious designs on running in an election that is sure to be hotly contested, there would be tell tale signs […]
Deep “Political Courage” Thought
Mike Castle knows full well that his blood thristy “the only good fetus is a dead fetus” policy does not sit well with most of the GOP base, so this bold move to boldly be against something that has no chance of actually happening is sadly predictable.
2010 Statewide Races Predictions WikiPost: 3/12/09
With the first set of polling numbers in, I’m ready to call these two election contests. US Senate Beau Biden vs. Christine O’Donnell Biden will win in a walk and it will not make the front page. All the intrigue will occur prior to the ballot being set. On the Republican side there will be […]
