Cat Fight! Castle/Murkowski vs. The GOP

By Baxter

You know, just a few days ago, we cats were idly speculating whether U.S. Representative Mike Castle would follow Lisa Murkowski's example and run for Joe Biden's Delaware Senate seat as a write-in candidate.

Well, now it turns out he's thinking about it.

To which we cats say, "write" on. Why not? Delware is a small state. Castle surely has some campaign money left over, and he's well-known to the voters. Unlike Senator Murkowski, he probably won't have to worry so much about whether people can spell his last name. And he's been mightily insulted by his whack job primary opponent. Perhaps it's time for a little revenge?

Whichever way he jumps, here's our theory on Murkowski and Castle: The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee probably pushed them over the edge by telling them, sotto voce, that they needed to give their surplus campaign funds to their party's respective nominees.

That would be enough to make us cats HISS.
