George Will Writes About Castle, Adds Nothing
Dishonest pundit George Will spews conventional wisdom about Mike Castle and the Delaware U.S. Senate race in his latest column.

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 […]

Dear Senators Carper, Kauffman and Congressman Castle,
As a Delaware State legislator whose focus and efforts are dedicated to the best interests of all Delawareans just as your efforts have always been focused, I am writing you to ask you to reconsider the consequences of your vote to cut-off “housing and community grant funding” to ACORN.

Castle and Biden to Play Chicken?
