Republican Cap and Traders

Though the Club for Growth could prove me wrong, I'm not terribly optimistic that anything will happen to the eight Republicans who voted for cap and trade. Two of them -- Mark Kirk in Illinios and Michael Castle in Delaware -- are being recruited to run for Senate seats, a promotion of sorts. The polling and the need for pickup opportunities make recruiters unlikely to change their minds. If Castle decides against a Senate run, Republicans would fear losing his House seat if they ran any candidate other than him.
