Wow! This is a surprise. Murkowski supporters tout 'kick-off' tonight Well, you know that if the mainstream GOP goes down in flames without a fight the party is screwed and whatever gains are made in Nov will be short lived...so some of these folks will fight back...Castle has already fired a salvo...let's see what he does next... They probably feel outnumbered. Look how quickly even heavyweights like Rove fall into line. The radical fringe is intimidating them. We may be witnessing the break up of the GOP.

Castle should do the right thing for Delaware: Endorse Chris Coons By David Di Martino - 09/16/10 04:44 PM ET Political campaigns can be unpredictable — just ask the eight Republican incumbents who have been defeated in surprise outcomes across the country. In Delaware, one of the most surprising outcomes shocked the Republican establishment. Highly respected Rep. Mike Castle, with a record of public service as long as his arm, ousted by upstart Christine O’Donnell. The campaign was bitter, especially at the end. And in the aftermath, Rep. Castle and his supporters have vowed not to get behind O’Donnell’s candidacy. In fact, a senior staffer of Castle’s said O’Donnell is a “con artist who won by lying about Castle’s record and her own life.” Castle’s staff isn’t alone in criticizing O’Donnell. Karl “Turd Blossom” Rove was on the attack this week. "It does conservatives little good to support candidates who at the end of the day — while they may be conservative in their public statements — do not evince the characteristics of rectitude, truthfulness and sincerity of character that the voters are looking for... I mean, there were a lot of nutty things she has been saying that just simply don't add up.” [Karl Rove, Fox News Channel, Sept. 15, 2010]. Mike Castle is a respected public servant. For decades, he has worked across party lines to advance public policy. He has put partisanship aside for the sake of Delaware and the nation. Clearly, he doesn’t think Christine O’Donnell should be the next U.S. senator from the First State. Rep. Castle has a chance to build on this record of bipartisanship. He should again do what is right for Delaware and the nation and endorse Chris Coons for the U.S. Senate. A bold stroke of leadership like that would cement his iconic status in Delaware politics. thehill.com
