Should've Seen It Coming: Mike Castle Says He Hasn't Ruled Out Write-In Campaign

Bitter clinger:

The Delaware Republican said he was considering the option, though he "probably" would not run. He has until Sept. 30 to make a final decision.

Last week, Castle said running a write-in campaign was "not something I intend to do at this point."

This may explain his Charlie Cristian/Liza Mulchahyan poor-me interview with TNR. He's laying the groundwork to explain why America can't survive without careerist nothings like Mike Castle.

Thanks to svand.

Advantage O'Donnell? Buzz points out that in practice this may not be such a bad thing.

Bear in mind, Castle will bleed off a hell of lot more Coons voters than O'Donnell voters. In fact, I imagine it would be something like 80/20.

That will bring Coons well under 50% (assuming that Castle gets 10-15%). And then O'Donnell can sneak in with a win at 43% or so.
