Castle wins re-election to House

Republican Michael Castle has been re-elected to a ninth term as Delaware's lone representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The call of Castle's win over Democrat Karen Hartley-Nagle is based on an analysis of
voter interviews, conducted for The
Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
While there was strong anti-Republican sentiment among voters across the country,
Castle's centrist reputation may have helped him retain his seat in Congress, where the
former two-term governor is the longest-serving representative in Delaware history.
During the campaign, Hartley-Nagle tried to pin blame on Castle, a member of the
House Financial Services committee, for the financial meltdown that led to the nation's
economic crisis.
