Time Magazine asked four outgoing “moderate” Republicans a simple question: Why did you lose?
Castle names three agents of his demise: The Teabagz, the media, and Lazy Ass Mike Castle Supporters.
The Teabagz: “I was a victim of the Tea Party. They came in and, frankly, did a good job politically.”
The Media: “The media has gotten very involved in this. The media has taken very strong political positions maybe not in favor of a particular person running for office, but in terms of their ideological drifts, it makes a huge difference.” (He goes onto apologize to conservatives by saying that in addition to being too conservative, the media is also too liberal. Typical hedge from Baron Von However.)
Lazy Ass Mike Castle Supporters: “I can’t tell you how many letters, e-mails and personal conversations I’ve had with people saying, ‘I had no idea you were in trouble or I would’ve been out there to vote for you in the primary.’ And they just did not do that, unfortunately.”
Shorter Castle: “It was everyone’s fault but mine.” Classy to the very end
