THIS IS NOT ->Delawareliberal

TIME Magazine - Connecticut party officials were particularly incensed when President Bush kissed Lieberman on the cheek following his 2005 State of the Union address. In meetings with state Dems, Lieberman tried to assuage their concerns, but also kept reminding party officials he had a 70% approval rating. Even so, the attacks on the kiss became so vocal that an exasperated Lieberman told one group of Democrats "I didn't kiss him back," a response that didn't exactly hearten them. (The incident has become so radioactive that Lieberman now denies Bush actually kissed him, telling TIME last week "I don't think he kissed me, he leaned over and gave me a hug and said 'thank you for being a patriotic American.'")

Now here is the thing. Castle is not as close to Bush as Lieberman, they have never kissed anyway. But Castle's voting record is close enough to Bush that someone should be hitting him over the head with it EVERYDAY. Someone should be putting Bush and Castle together in the voters mind EVERYDAY.

Someone.... (clears throat)...like maybe someone who is running against Castle. Hello..... is this thing on?

UPDATE

I just flubbed this Biden quote on Al's show:

DICK CHENEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The worst possible thing we could do is what the Democrats are suggesting, and no matter how you carve it, you can call it anything you want, but basically, it is packing it in, going home, persuading and convincing and validating the theory that the Americans don't have the stomach for this fight.

BLITZER: All right. You want to respond to the vice president, Senator Biden?

BIDEN: No, I don't want to respond to him. He's at 20 percent in the polls. No one listens to him. He has no credibility. It's ridiculous.
