You say maybe Castle was not your first choice - certainly you are smart enough to have avoided voting for Bush, so what is your deal? Are you one of those non-partisan Carper/Biden staffers who operate on a higher plane of existence from us mere mortals? Are you just slumming on the blog for kicks - like some white bread frat boy going into a bar on the black side of town? Aaaaaanyway –

If you can come up with an instance of Castle's famous "MODERATION" maing a real difference on any one of those issues I'll happily agree that you were right and I was wrong all along.

You are the victim of a logical fallacy known as an “appeal to authority.” I guess if you had any real evidence of Castle's moderation you'd disclose it. Until then insisting that "everyone says he is a moderate so he must be a moderate" is not cutting it. dh –

In the same I way I don’t acknowledge that 2 plus 2 equals 5." I was thinking more in the same way that the Christian right doesn't acknowledge evolution. You know, just ignoring what the vast majority of experts and the public think, living in your own little bubble, and generally just making things up as you go along. “Yep.
