Castle, the state's long-serving lone congressman, has been leading in the polls but the GOP isn't taking any chances after Murkowski's slim loss in Alaska sent shock waves through the party. O'Donnell's campaign did not return phone messages seeking comment.
The winner of the Republican primary will face Democrat Chris Coons in the general election.
I have it on good authority that the same kick-out-the-party-favorite gambit also paid off for the Florida Tea Party movement, when it helped defeat a popular GOP career politician, running for governor. Rick Scott was trailing in the polls, but pulled out a 3%-margin victory over the popular Bill McCollum. The dirty-laundry GOP primary campaign also added ammunition to the Democrats' bid for the governor's chair, in the person of Ms. Alex Sink.

The parties have done such a good job over the years to get us to be team players, we became so entrenched with the party we stopped looking at anything or than the D or R in front of a canidates name. Well gentlemen guess what? I think a lot of us are going to actually look at the canidates this time around and it's possible we AMERICANS may send both parties a message and the message is: We intend to hold you accountable for your actions and ignore the spin you put on your past deeds. GOD BLESS AMERICA and those bold citizens who are willing to regain control of this great nation.

What is the plan? Not just platitudes, but details. Not just what you want, but how you would go about doing it.
September 03 2010 at 2:08 PM Report abuse Permalink -5 rate up rate down ReplyIf you don't know what the plan is by now, you haven't been watching. But for people like you, I will spell it out. Cut the spending, balance the budget, reduce taxes to create jobs, get out of the private sector, and oh, how about securing the borders! Guys like Castle have created the Department of Energy to reduce dependence on foreign oil thirty some years ago. Great job! And the Department of Education. Oh, a really great job! What would we have ever done without them? I could go on and on, but I hope this is enough to make you think for yourself instead of listening to the "do gooders" who pretend that taxing and spending will solve problems when their real motive is control.

Special Interests!! includes Lobbyists, Big business, little business, developers and anyone interested in any law being proposed or up for a vote. What can we do-> Ensure any and all money given to an ad campaign, candidate to/for office and to the parties (R-D and T!!!) should be listed and accounted for! Show where the money is coming from and where it REALLY goes but most of all WHY and to whom!!!
September 03 2010 at 2:00 PM Report abuse Permalink +9 rate up rate down ReplyYeah, well that's been done for decades. You just have to know where to look. Check out the FEC website and you can look up every candidate and who's giving them money.

September 03 2010 at 1:57 PM Report abuse Permalink +11 rate up rate down ReplyThe Tea Party will just become the new "Establishment" if it prevails, and the cycle will begin anew to unseat the "Tea Party Establishment".
September 03 2010 at 1:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThat may be so Brett, time will tell. But the "Status Quo" is not working and to do nothing is to be part of the problem.
