CORRECTION: Rep. Rick Hardcastle, R-Vernon, says he signed a letter demanding a House GOP caucus meeting because he wants to get the speaker's race over, not because he's switched horses in midstream.
"I haven't removed my pledge" from Speaker Joe Straus, said Hardcastle. He said my earlier blog post describing the 10 signers of the letter as "anti-Straus" was overblown. It incorrectly assumed that several people on Straus' list -- Hardcastle and Reps. Allen Fletcher and Kelly Hancock -- are yanking their support from the current speaker.
"That's not necessarily anti-Straus folks," said Hardcastle (above, AP photo). "That's just Republican caucus members who wanted to call an end to all this bickering over the speaker's race, and go ahead and have the caucus and have the vote."
