Tom Nelson linked this video over the weekend, of eight-term Delaware congressman Mike Castle being confronted by angry constitutents. (Maybe Joe Biden can get him a job at Amtrak.) Tom’s notes on the video are below.
At the 4:12 mark, a speaker says that he hopes Castle loses his Congressional seat over his support of cap and trade, and the crowd cheers. Castle smiles briefly, then his face grows grim.
Around the 7:12 mark, Castle is booed after he says he believes in AGW.
