Celia thinks that the RNC is pinning its hope for an electoral resurgence on Congressman Mike “However” Castle.
David Winston, a Republican pollster brought in to speak to the convention, made the case. “This is a tide turner. It’s essential if we’re going to turn momentum around and get people in the rest of the country to realize how to win elections,” he said. “We have to win here.”
Those are pretty slender shoulders upon which to place the dreams the entire Republican party. And yet, for all the GOP’s bluster about Castle’s strength, Celia somehow forgot to mention that the mighty Mike Castle stayed away from the convention itself and only felt up for a little glad handing at a Friday night pre-convention party. (Although on the plus side, she managed to write about the Dem convention without slobbering all over Tom Carper.)
