Rachel Maddow explains the “trash and grab” strategy of the Republican party. “Trash and grab” is the term that has been coined to describe the Republican habit of trashing the stimulus then taking credit for funds coming into their district. Mike Castle comes about 6:00 into the clip, and oh yeah, there’s a picture of Castle with a giant check.
Ask Dr. Liberal: Coons is in the Club Edition
Dear Doctor Liberal,
Do you think Chris Coons has the guts to really go after Castle? I view Castle as the incumbent in this race and they say to beat an incumbent you need to make the race a referendum on the person. Can Coons do that?

Health Care Plan Comparison
Comparison between the Democratic plan and the GOP plan: Mike Castle voted against the Democratic plan and for the GOP plan. Yet another reason why Mike Castle must not be allowed to represent us in the US Senate.
Coons Campaign Commercial #1
CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL # 1: A series of photos of Mike Castle with those giant faux Federal checks. (Wacky Warner Brothers-style cartoon music in background).

Why Not?
