Channeling George MasonNo, not this guy. These guys. That's what Rep. Michael Castle (R-Del.) is doing in advance of a big budget showdown next week, when he plans to offer an amendment to the FY2007 budget resolution to increase education and health funding by $7 billion. "What were George Mason's chances of making the Final Four? I think there's a reasonable chance for change here," Castle told Roll Call this week. An amendment to increase education and health funding by $7 billion offered by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) failed yesterday on a party-line vote in the House Budget Committee. But the floor fight next week looks to be a different story. Especially if education advocates make their voices heard again like a few weeks ago. More on this ahead.

Mike Castle and other moderate Republicans are lions on the budget in March, but lambs when the final levels are decided in October and November. Why would FY07 be any different?
