Powerline provides the explanation for the vote that Jeffrey Lord was puzzling over earlier this afternoon. In a nutshell, Castle publicly opposed impeachment, and the vote to send Kucinich’s wacky bill to die in committee was not a vote in favor of passage, nor was it understood as such at the time.
UPDATE: Just for the record, this post went up shortly before Quin’s cri de coeur below (the way the AmSpec backend works, the timestamp defaults to when you begin writing; I’m in the habit of moving it forward to the actual post time but not everyone is). I should say that while Quin and I may have different styles, I agree with pretty much everything he’s written on this race.

The Tea Party Establishment has ordered us to not like Mike Castle. So be quiet with your ridiculous refutations or else you will be branded with the Scarlet RINO. There is only one true light and one true way and that is whatever the Tea Party Establishment decrees we think!

I am missing something here. I can understand dying in the last ditch for Marco Rubio over Crist. I can understand dying in the last ditch for Pat Toomey over Specter. I can even understand dying in the last ditch for Doug Hoffman over Scozzofava. I do NOT understand tearing the conservative movement apart for...Christine O'Donnell? I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, until the whole ISI lawsuit thing. Sorry kids, ISI isn't part of the David Brooks/David Frum Axis of RINOdom. Not no way, not no how. Conservatives don't file zany shakedown lawsuits against other conservatives.

Harry Reid is watching us tear each other apart, and has got to be laughing his dingy...head off.

Hey, RINOs! Hey, Ruling Class GOP'ers! This means you, Tabin. You too, Hillyer!
It's not the pro-O'Donnell crowd that started this catfight. The Castle/Delaware GOP crowd started smearing O'Donnell with everything they had. Absolutely vicious, and completely unnecessary. We didn't start this fight, but when we joined the fray, we were attacked with all the insults people are smearing O'Donnell with.
If O'Donnell is such a kook and nutjob, why did the Delaware GOP nominate her in 2008? And if the answer is that she was a sacrificial lamb for the 2008 Democrat wave, what does it say about the judgment of Delaware's GOP poo-bahs: in other words, why should we trust anything they say or do--which right now, is hell-bent for leather support of Mike Castle.
And would O'Donnell have lost by 30 points in 2008 if the Delaware GOP had engaged in these kinds of aggressive tactics against the Democrats?
All of this is not a bad thing. Only the RINOs are upset at the conflict. We're smoking you out, boys and girls.

Anybody who would vote for the stinking liberal Castle, would gladly cast a vote for Al Franken, Howard Dean, or even Shrillary the Hut, if they switched, and put an "R" behind their names, just because "they can win."
You Castle cronies are very myopic. That means "short-sighted" for those of you in Rio Linda! All you care about is whether, or not, someone with an "R" is in charge. No matter what their character is.
Castle is a serial violater of the Constitution. He needs to be retired.
