  In a rare pick up potential for Democrats, former Lt. Governor John Carney leads in the race to replace Congressman Mike Castle, according to Public Policy Polling firm. While this is a bright spot for Democrats, it is not great news. Polling against unknowns at this point is pretty [...]

  —Delaware Way

  Update: A friend of mine who would know (since she ran against Mike Castle a few times), says that Nicole Gaudiano is a GOPer hack. I guess that Gaudiano's deep swoon over Mike Castle was to be expected HERE. As for Charlie Cook, well, he ought to familiarize himself' [...]

    I have made no attempt to hide the fact that I am dissatisfied with the past performance of  Rep. Mike Castle in congress. I do not feel that he represents my views on what I consider to be key issues, such as the environment, smaller government, and family values.

• Was Mike Castle's Vote To Audit The Fed A Second Chance Strategy For Purity?

  —Delaware Way

  The old Mike Castle would definately have voted to protect the financial industry and the Federal Reserve at all costs. Did his recent Paul-Grayson amendment YAY come in the context of the new GOP eligibility standards?
  Probably, but I'll take it anyway.

  Number of comments: 2
  Anyone who thinks Mike Castle would be some kind of moderate thorn in the side of the conservative GOP Senate minority leadership is fooling themselves. Among those senators who reported giving to Castle in October were Thad Cochran (Miss.), whose Senate Victory Fund PAC gave $10,000; Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), whose [...]
