Kathy Castor Gives First Freshmen Address

Congratulations to Kathy Castor. She became the first freshmen member to address Congress. She did so minutes after she was sworn in. Word is that Nancy Pelosi is betting heavily on Castor to make Democrats look good. Castor supported Steny Hoyer for Majority Leader. It's well known that Pelosi wanted John "Abscam" Murtha for the post.

People maybe wondering why Castor has become such a star. She easily won her race in a Democrat-leaning district. The answer is Castor is a monster fundraiser. She raised a total of $1,368,888 during the 2005-2006 season.
