The Republican Party is decimated in Delaware.  Their two hopes for the future (Lt. Governor candidate Charlie Copeland and State Senate candidate John Clatworthy) both lost.  The only statewide Republican who won was Congressman Mike Castle.  

It has long been assumed that he will run for the Senate if Carper or Biden ever stepped down for whatever reason.   While there has been some talk recently that Castle will be content to retire in 2010 from the House after he gets some bipartisan measures passed in this Congress, it is my bet that he will be pressured to run for the Senate since he literally is the only Republican who can run a competitive race, and a competitive race (even if they lose) is what the DE GOP needs right now after a year of blowout losses.  

Castle would be going up against either Lt. Governor John Carney (who was defeated in a razor close primary election by Gov.-elect Jack Markell) or State Attorney General Beau Biden.   Governor Minner will appoint either Carney or a placeholder / caretaker Senator for Biden in the coming weeks.

I am ignoring your VP worries, for I do not see it in the realm of possibility that he will pick Hagel or Casey, the only two anti-choice candidates that the media love to salivate about.

Obama won't do it, so your worries are misplaced.

I accept your terms, so long as you stop with the innuendos that Obama won unfairly, ran a sexist campaign, and can't win in the fall.  Further, any smear originating at any anti-Democratic site (like No Quarter and Hillary is 44) cannot pass your lips.

Deal involve compromise.  You cannot expect to accept your terms if you cannot accept ours.  

And I am not saying you personally have engaged in the above activity.  You may have, I don't know.  But I am willing to accept your characterizations of Obama supporter's activities, even though I know that I have not done what you suggest.  So don't get personally offended.

Deal?

And you want me to refute those pundits' opinion?  LOL.  Apologize for your heinous comparison of Clinton's loss to the Iraq War first.

That is where I read the Kerry-Edwards bit.

because Clinton lost the nomination?

I expect you to retract this statement immediately and apologize to the families who have lost their sons and daughter, husbands and wives in the horrible Iraq War.  You have trivialized and minimized their sacrifice by comparing anger over the Iraq War to Hillary's loss in the primaries.

is done with a mind as to what Hillary or her most "vocal" supporters think about it.

He wanted to hire Patti.  So he hired her.  One thing about the Obama campaign that you should have learned by now is that they do not use their hires to piss people off, and they do not hire people they view as incompetent and not up to the task.

Thus, Obama must view Patti as competent and up to the job, and he wanted to have her in his campaign in some fashion.

You would think Hillary supporters would be pleased with this.  BUT NOOOOOOOOOO.

John Kerry did it for John Edwards too.  It is to make sure that the VP stays on message.

"Inadequate Black Male?????"

That you post this video of this racist with approval in your tirade reveals your true character.

You are a racist, Alegre.  You deserve no less than utter condemnation.  As do all of Hillary's supporters at the meeting today who acted so disrespectfully and immorally.

Lies and Ignorance must be countered and destroyed.

diary the top recommended diary on MyDD?

What does that say about MyDD?

My God.  It is full of trolls.  

Where has she been with respect to condemning the Muslim smears that appear here, on Taylor Marsh, on Hillaryis44 and on NoQuarter?

Indeed, she has encouraged such Hate Speech by saying "he is a Christian....as far as I know."

Hillary has NEVER condemned the racism inherent in some of her supporters.  

Condemn, denounce, reject and repudiate FOREVER Geraldine Ferraro and every single one of Hillary's supporters who have spread the lies about Obama being a Muslim.

Do it right now.

I am waiting.

You have absolutely no credibility on this point unless you post a diary immediately demanding that Hillary repudiate them.  

Do it now.

Your hypocrisy is astounding.   You tolerate what you call "hate speech" so long as it is directed at Obama.  But God forbid something says something disrespectful about or towards Hillary.  

Yes, other states changed their primary and caucus dates, but these other states did not violate the DNC's rule that Iowa, NH, Nevada and SC go first, and in that order.   Indeed, the rule was, besides those 4 states, every other state could hold their primary or caucus NO FUCKING EARLIER THAN Feb. 5.  

Therefore, California and a host of other states moved their primaries and caucuses up to Feb. 5.

They were being good little states, and obeying the rules.  Florida and Michigan did not behave.  They broke the rules, and deserve punishment.

And unless this diary is deleted, MyDD endorses it.
