After Tea Party candidate Joe Miller’s shocking upset over Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) in Alaska’s Republican Senate primary, the media’s attention shifted quickly to an unlikely location — the politically staid state of Delaware. Seemingly overnight, the press discovered Christine O’Donnell, the perennial (and unsuccessful) far-right candidate challenging longtime More…
Taking a cue from Joe Miller’s upset victory over Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) last month, Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) is taking no chances a week before his Senate primary contest against Tea Party-backed candidate Christine O’Donnell. Unlike Murkowski, who only failed to take her challenger seriously until it was too More…
The Tea Party Express, feeling their oats after propelling Joe Miller to a (likely) victory over Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) in Alaska, is now preparing to raise and spend some big bucks on behalf of outsider Tea Party affiliated candidate Christine O’Donnell in her long shot Senate bid against More…
Republicans have been thrilled that Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) is looking like a shoo-in for a Senate seat in the traditionally blue state of Delaware.

The upshot of the news that Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden–son of the vice president–won’t run for the state’s open Senate seat is that Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) is now prohibitively likely to take the seat over for Republicans. Delaware Democrats, who have dominated the state for the better More…
This is one of the more surprising polls I’ve seen recently: Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of the vice president, is leading Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) in a hypothetical 2010 U.S. Senate matchup. The Susquehanna Polling & Research survey has Biden beating Castle by five points. When More…
Research 2000/Daily Kos polls the First State’s potential Senate matchup between long-serving Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) and first-term state attorney general Beau Biden, the son of the vice president. Castle has a statistically insignificant 46-45 lead, bolstered by an 8-point lead among independents and the support of 21 percent More…
Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.), the last major Republican office-holder in the very blue home of Vice President Joe Biden, is set to announce whether or not he’ll run for the U.S. Senate in 2010. Politico reports that he’s in.
As I noted last week, Castle’s numbers have More…
