Chris Coons gaining on Mike Castle in Delaware Senate Race
This is huge because everyone expected Castle to walk away with this race. The fact that Castle is too moderate for the tea-baggers and his age could help Chris Coons win in the long run. This is the first time I've actively worked a Delaware campaign and would love to keep Joe Biden's seat in the "D" column

Back in January Castle has double the lead over Coons but now in August Coons is almost at 40% and Castle is down to 49%.

Let's hope all this campaigning helps out somehow!

1. I thought it would remain a total blowout. I am kind of suprised but Castle's age might be
the biggest factor.

2. I keep thinking Castle just wants the rest of the term and then retire a senate
Only to say that he's done just about everything possible as a politician and a retired senator has better pay for retirement than a retired representative.

3. Yup, I think he would serve only one term.
