Two quibbles. Castle was beatable this time out. Many, many Delaware voters split the ticket to protest Bush and any number of "A list" (or even B list) Democrats could have beat him. Beua Buden could have eeked out a win - Jack Markell would have killed Castle and even Matt Denn could have made it much closwer than Spivack did.

The myth of Castle's moderation was revealed this cycle with many more people looking at his actual votes. If the Dem majority can't get Castle to vote with them 95% of the time - he is done.

2) He is sicker than he has let on. The real effects of the storke have been covered up by the local press (just as the actual stroke was downplayed by the local press). Every missed vote for the next two years is going to be used against him in the next cycle. If he misses many - he will probably retire rather than try to hold off a top tier challenger.
