"Damn Teabaggers, messing up my career! Gonna take my ball and go home! Ha! That'll show 'em!"

Nine-term Delaware Rep. Mike Castle, who lost his state's Senate GOP primary, said Wednesday that he won't endorse a candidate in the general election.
Castle, who is a centrist, stunningly lost to Tea Party-backed candidate Christine O'Donnell in a bitter, hard-fought race. The congressman and former governor said last month that he would not endorse O'Donnell, raising speculation that he could back Democratic nominee Chris Coons.
"No, I'm not going to endorse anybody in that particular race, not because of the competence of any of the candidates, but because the primary I went through was very nasty in a variety of ways, both politically and personally, and I've just declined to get involved in that," Castle told CNN's John King in an interview to air Wednesday evening.

Would I be correct in assuming that the Democrats will probably pick up his House seat?
That the phrase “Castle, a centrist” could be used in an article just demonstrates how bad things have become.
Damn lie...they halfass supported her after torpedoing her. Only supported her at all when conservatives went ballistic. We need to make them pay dearly for this disgrace!!
Check back after the election
Yes, the problem with “centrists” is that they really are not with you wholeheartedly on anything and are quick to knife you in the back on the issues that matter most.
Who cares? Get the old RINO Fart out of Dodge!
The same RINO’s who said we had to vote for them or it was the same as voting Democrat sure don’t want to vote for our guys when its reversed. So much for party unity.
Just another example of why I detest so called moderates holding elective office.
They are nothing but rank opportunists, who’s only real thought is ‘whats best for ME’ not their constituents.
This is your modern day repubic party.
LLS
At least he isn’t running an independent campaign.
So he would prefer to have a Democrat in the seat than a conservative. Complete proof that he was in this solely for his own power.
Castle is such an ass. I’m glad he lost.
No one cares what Castle thinks. Whatever happens, at least we got rid of that piece of crap.
