TAKE THAT TEAM O’DONNELL!! Hube Reluctantly Endorses Mike Castle

Filed in National by on July 28, 2010

So, what if O’Donnell is raking in endorsements from wingnuts across the country. Mike Castle can lord this heavy hearted endorsement over the O’Donnellites

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D DO THIS…No, I’m not referring to my return to blogging…. I’m actually referring to my decision to support Mike Castle in his campaign for Senate.

PS. I know this was written by Paul Smith, but I can’t pass on a chance to press Hube’s buttons.

    I’ve been thinking of a name that personifies O’Donnell’s followers, a name that succinctly wraps them up in a neat little package and belittles them at the same time. The name I’ve come up with is Starburst Boys. You like?

  2. jason330 says:

    It is pretty good, better than my weak attempt “O’Donnellites” But I don’t think I have that font at my disposal.

  3. nemski says:

    Just Starbust Boys . . . no font, though Comic Sans it would be.

    Please…let me help..the O’DonnelLiners. I think it says a lot.

  5. Howzabout the Christine Crazies? Slogan: “We’re crazy for Christine”.

    Cue a pic of a buncha drooling blogger fanboys gazing at a suggestive picture of their favorite full-figured candidate.

  6. Jon Walker just did a nice analysis for us over at FDL. Conclusion: conservatives should definately vote for Christine cause she’ll vote conservatively. So sneaky, these progressives.

    Nancy, Thanks for that link. The expected value calculation was in itself valuable, but that was just the beginning.

    I think most conservatives have internalized this in a way that liberals have not:

    Supporting O’Donnell could have an even bigger impact than possibly electing just one more conservative to the Senate. If the fear of primary challenges causes several more moderate senators like Scott Brown (R-MA), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) to start voting more conservatively, this has a huge multiplier factor. If the primary actually shifts the voting pattern of a half-dozen Republicans to the right, it could be well worth it from a policy standpoint to support O’Donnell, even if she’s a long shot in the general.

  8. I don’t know I think there numbers are pretty off. Castle’s a 90% conservative as opposed to a 50% one. That skews the math way back to Castle.

  9. jason330 says:

    The wingnuts don’t know that.

  10. Geezer says:

    WTF? That’s not calculus, that’s voodoo analysis. O’Donnell’s chances in the general election are very, very close to 0. Vanishingly close to 0. That whole piece represents a waste of electrons and 3 minutes I’ll never get back.

  11. jason330 says:

    I think you missed the point. It is an argument for why liberals should vote for liberals cloaked in an argument for why conservatives should vote for O’Donnell. The numbers were for demonstration purposed only. A little introduction to “expected value.”

  12. Geezer says:

    If that’s the case, then liberals should NOT vote for liberals whose chances of winning the general election approach that close to 0. Sorry, but it’s still a gigantic waste of effort.
