Heard on WDEL at around 4:35 today Mike Castle stated that being a congressman is really hard work and a lot of people don’t realize how hard it is.
He went on to question the health and age of recent flipper Senator Specter. Commenting on his being 80 soon, Castle wondered if Specter is serving the best interests of the country.
“Is this in the best interest of the country?”
(didn’t Castle have a stroke?)
But the Big news is that he isn’t up to running for Congressman anymore. He sort of poo-poo’d that the campaigning isn’t too hard, but if he runs again it is for the Senate.
He plainly stated that if he runs for office again he is confident he can win. And if he runs for office again it will be for the Senate. If he decides to not run for office again he will retire.
“It is not the campaign as much” he stated regarding the rigors of his job. Being a congressmen is a tough job. “This is a much tougher job then some people realize” Castle said.
“I will either run for the Senate or Retire”
