Tenn, Please read comment 6 again my friend. All I said in 4 is that I will post any press releases from the Castle campaign with the proviso that I will not post any that I perceive as bashing or negative to Ms. O’Donnell.

I do not anticipate nor do I believe that the Congressman will bash her. I am not as sure about some other independent allies such as the NRSC which the Congressman has no control over. I published the NRCC press release sent to me unedited. I consider the national committees allies of the campaign and have no idea what the consultants may do 10 months from now.

The point to including that proviso was not to imply that he is doing that or has in the past. It was to keep me from being boxed in if the campaign got heated.

You and I have seen a lot of campaigns take interesting turns when they get close. If the campaign is a blow out, that will never be an issue. If it gets close and he falls behind, someone somewhere will take it upon themselves to attack her. It may even (1 in a 1000) be his campaign. That is okay. I just did not want to be boxed in to an iron clad promise which would make me an agent of one campaign. I just hesitate giving blank checks. Ms. O’Donnell will soon have a guest post, I gave her no restrictions because I trust her but if it surprised me with rumors and meanspirited attacks, I wouldn’t publish it. Will that happen? No. Do I reserve my rights not to put myself in another’s hands? Yes. That is all I was doing. I am a person of my word so I am very careful what I say. I got burned once with a candidate in college who took a letter of endorsement I signed and changed it and I will not give a blank check anymore to anyone. I was answering questions for a week everywhere I went.

If multiple readers received the wrong message, that has to be the writer’s fault. Thank you and Smitty for giving me two opportunities to clarify it.

2.) It might be smart for Beau Biden to forgo an expensive campaign for the Senate, a race he would stand a good chance of losing, and instead run for Castle’s House seat; then wait six years for Castle’s retirement.

3.)Schwarzkopf is vulnerable if the Republican candidate attaches him to Obama’s hip on issues like the ‘stimulus,’ GM bailout, abortion, taxes, ACORN, etc. After all, he is a Democrat, and does support BO’s agenda. Good. The 14th is generally conservative; give Pete Rehoboth and concentrate, heavily, on Robinsonville Rd., Conley Chapel Rd., Camp Arrowhead, etc.

You won’t beat him focusing on local issues, so don’t try. Some flyers showing Pete with BO, Ayres, Wright, ACORN and so on would take him off his game. Make a candidate angry, and he starts making mistakes- especially on his favorite venue, WGMD radio.

Huh? When has a Castle campaign had a press release that bashes other Republican candidates, David? You comment as if it had been done before.
