It is possible that a write-in campaign by Congressman Mike Castle could hurt Democrat Chris Coons more than Republican Christine O’Donnell in the Delaware campaign for U.S. Senate.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Delaware voters finds Coons with 49% support, while O’Donnell earns 40% of the vote. Castle, a longtime congressman who lost to O’Donnell in the state’s GOP Primary, picks up five percent (5%). Another five percent (5%) remain undecided.
Without Castle in the mix, O'Donnell hasn't yet managed to close the gap to single-digits, nor has Coons fallen beneath the 50 percent mark. According to this poll, a Castle write-in bid could accomplish both feats in one fell swoop. What do you say, dear readers?
Go, RINO, go?
