| themanwithnoname said: Some of you guys are completely missing the point here. The guy she beat was a left leaning Republican, who if he'd won, would side with the Democrats on a lot of issues and possibly more big spending bills. So why would the Republican Party as a whole give a flip if she loses, if the other guy was likely going to vote with the Democrats anyway, nevermind that Deleware is a historically blue state. |
The Northeast is a liberal area, and Castle was one of the most conservative Northeastern Republicans (consrvative rankings below). Hell, Mitt Romney is super conservative now, but as govenor of Massachusetts he supported government provided healthcare. If the Republicans want to be conservative in Deleware like they are conservative in Utah, people aren't going to vote for them.
