Murkowski and Castle: No Class at All

From The Hill:

A Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) campaign source confirmed to The Hill late Tuesday that the longtime congressman will not be endorsing Christine O’Donnell.

The Tea Party-backed O’Donnell defeated Castle for Delaware’s Republican Senate nomination.

After the stunning primary loss, Castle’s campaign also said the longtime congressman is not interested in waging a write in bid this November.

In Alaska, Sen Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is contemplating an independent write in campaign after she lost to Tea Party backed Joe Miller in the August GOP primary.

Its like these people just can’t get over the fact that they were passed over by the people. Murkowski and Castle are becoming emblems of all that is wrong with the GOP establishment.

What this points up to is a need for a party rule change – something we’ll have to do at the Convention: make it so that primary challengers are encouraged, and make is so that the State and national party groups are neutral during the primary, and back whomever the nominee is. That would essentially make it so that there no longer is an establishment-backed candidate to be huffy when they lose.
