So you are shocked that so many Delaware Republicans refused to support that goofball Christine O'Donnell? You realize that you are blaming many Republicans for doing precisely the same thing O'Donnell did in 2006 right? Christine refused to accept the fact she lost a Republican nomination battle in 06' and went off and ran a 3rd party write in campaign against the party she claimed to to want to represent. So why does she deserve even the slightest bit of sympathy considering she did the same thing she whines that the "establishment" did to her?
O'Donnell was a ridiculous clown candidate. There was absolutely no way she was going to win statewide in Delaware no matter how much the party rallied around her. The state is very left leaning and to win a candidate has to get most of the moderate and even many crossover Democrats. Ms. I Am Not a Witch had no chance of doing that - mostly because she was a flake. Everyone who said the GOP would lose that seat if CoD was nominated was entirely correct.
Self-fullfilling prophecy from the Delaware GOP. If Hank Johnson can be elected in Georgia, O’Donnell could have won in Delaware. NY-23 and Alaska were also betrayals by those who demand that we run moderates.
If your voters nominate someone, it is your responsibility as party leaders to give them the support they need. If you don’t, you are disloyal to your voters.
It is betrayal.
