I am surprised that Castle isn't even considering a Independent run
Maybe he is just that much of a team player.

I don't like Republicans but I have to say that I could see why he is liked after his interview with Colbert (very funny)

Murkowski is running as a write-in. I am surprised that Castle isn't and that they haven't even floated that out to test the waters.

:shrug:

2. He's probably so pissed he can't see straight, and it's
hard to blame him. Thirty thousand morons just drove him out of public service, more or less.

3. Maybe he's playing the 'wait and see' game...
He's got the bona fides with the repubs..
while O'Donnell gots boopkiss..

If she's under investigation for campaign finance fraud,
the powers that be may ask her to stand down,
and he'll walk in, and clean up.

He's a politician, and no fool.. he won't cut off his nose to spite his face.

4. I think he actually prefers Coons and DOES not want to see O'Donnell
win the seat. If he ran he and Coons would split their votes, probably allowing O'Donnell to win.

Besides, I think he believes that Coons would be more representative of Delaware than O'Donnell would.

6. See Post #1
PBS Poll-435's post and yours are the most likely to be the truth

7. I for one will miss him
Not because I agreed with most of his votes, but he represented reason and sanity.


It probably is no coincidence that him and VP Joe are from the same State.

8. Just think if all the real republicans who got thrown
out because the regulars didn't show up to vote and tea bags did, would run, they tea bags wouldn't stand a snow balls chance in you know where. I sure wish they would. And even is Murkowski doesn't stand a chance in her write in campaign at least she is going to take a lot of votes away from one of the NUTS THE TEA BAGS have chosen.

It is a wonder that these people are not embarrassed to heck about the type of ignorant, rant and rave nuts they have chosen to run. Is is because they think they are so paranoid that they will be easy to control. That way people like Armey and the corporations who have paid for their elections can control them and get all he votes they want to steal and rape the rest of America.

I would love for something to be done to the supreme court. And that Roberts or Scalia or Thomas would be gone. I hope one of them does something so so outrageous and illegal that they have to be impeached. No matter what the stupid spineless Democrats in congress do.

9. One good thing could be
That those same "regulars" who didn't come out to vote also "WON'T" come out to vote in November now that the crazies won the primary! This is something that is not being discussed, and may mean a win for democrats! While the tea party clowns to get out to vote, there are not enough of them to put their candidate into office, they NEED the regulars also, and that may be a bit hard to get! I mean think about it, even Karl Rove was upset that O'Donnell won, and he said so, even though he had to back track the next day! Look at all those in Alaska that probably stayed home instead of voting for Mulkowski, and now are so upset with the guy that won they have gotten her to run on a write in vote! I think a lot of republicans may just stay home this year, but of course the media won't bring that point up, they just want to paint the democrats as "GOING DOWN" in November because the left us upset and won't vote!

10. He could run and win. Or, at least, help the Dems by keeping
O'Connel from winning.
