DE-Sen/DE-AL: Mike's Meager Haul
It doesn't look like Mike Castle is running for much of anything, does it? In June, he declined a key committee post that opened up in the House, and was last seen wistfully sighing about how nice it would be to retire to Florida's shuffleboard decks and early-bird specials.

Now comes Castle's 2Q fundraising report, and impressive it ain't. He took in $124K, and $110K of that was from PACs (which means he wasn't exactly hustling hard for that dough). That brings his total for the cycle to just $195K - not terribly impressive. He does have $861K in his warchest, but the last Delaware Republican to face a contested senate election - Bill Roth in 2000 - spent $4.5 million in a badly losing effort (and contribution limits were less than half what they are today).

Castle needs to fish or cut bait - and right now, he ain't catchin' much of anything.
