Castle’s Anti-Economic Recovery Vote Surprised Dem Party Insiders
Even jaded long-time Delaware politicos were surprised and saddened by Castle’s lockstep vote with the radical Republican leadership.
“Everyone in Delaware has worked with Mike Castle at one time or another and nobody saw this coming.” said one person who works with Castle and his staff frequently and thought that Castle would show himself to be the moderate that he claims to be.
There was widespread thinking that the former Governor of Delaware would have the guts and the independence to vote his conscience and break with the GOP leadership on this important economic recovery legislation. “I’ve lost a lot of respect for him. It’s sad, actually.” another insider said.
