WILMINGTON, Del. – Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell earned a stunning victory in Delaware's Republican Senate primary Tuesday, riding a wave of tea party anger and advertising dollars to oust U.S. Rep. Michael Castle.

O'Donnell's shocking win gave new energy to the tea party movement, which targeted Castle after victories by Republican tea party candidates in the Alaska and Nevada Senate primaries.

With 78 percent of precincts reporting, O'Donnell had 54 percent to 46 percent for Castle, a former two-term governor and the longest serving congressman in Delaware history.

The GOP also filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission accusing O'Donnell of illegally colluding with tea party supporters.

Gonna get uglier, this conservatives/tea party movement vs. the GOP/RINOs!!!

[Nuc 1.1]

Imagine colluding with the people.

[Incorrigible]

Wow! Just Wow!

How you like us now RNC?

[dainbramaged]

Good news - more RINO tags to fill!

How Will MSNBC explain it? They were bashing her all week!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I've never seen the Ass. Press refer to a commie 'RAT politician as a liberal activist...doo dah doo dah.

Wasn't Barry a Marxist activist before he was elected? I don't remember them ever calling him that.

[Revel]

That is because this messes up the liberal alignment of the Rino’s and the democrats.

[Nateman]

Sweet! I love the smell of burned RINO’s in the morning, smells like victory!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

How on earth do you “illegally collude” with your own supporters?

[Commander X]

My Mom and Sister reside in Delaware and both voted for Christine. They are happy to see Castle go down!

O'Donnell of illegally colluding with tea party supporters.

How does a candidate illegally collude with voters other than outright buying of votes?

[chippewaman]

Congratulations Christie! Give them hell in November.

[dforest]

Can you hear that loud dying sound emanating fron RINO central?

[Ronin]

RINO Stew!!! It’s what’s for dinner!!!

[Outlaw Woman]

I just hopped back on line and all I can say is OH MY GOD! I cannot believe this! Is this not fan frekin tastic or what???

I'm absolutely stunned LOL. Don't know who really cares but just had to comment. LOL WTG CHRISTINE O'DONNELL! WTG TEA PARTY.!

I will admit to not following this race. But it appears to me that if there is no difference to having Castle instead of a Democrat, where's the downside in O'Donnell's victory. Except for one thing. If this makes the difference at some point as to which party controls the Senate, then if she loses where Castle might have won, then the Democrats would control the Senate. That's the big gamble with O'Donnell. But as far as the voting is concerned, Castle would be just like having a Democrat.

Anyway now it's critical that the GOP get behind O'Donnell. The big shots of the GOP might have to eat some crow but that's politics.

[MuttTheHoople]

It’s funny....the moderate-liberal RINOS fight savagely against Conseravatives, but are all buddy-buddy and “my good friend”, “my good buddy”, “my special lover” with Democrats.

[jwalsh07]

Sweet!

GOP also filed a complaint

*******************

Sweet. Attack the base.

THE RULING CLASS IS THE ENEMY!

[wita]

Bless them both! Well bless all three for that matter.

[jazminerose]

Now that is funny. No sarc/ tag?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

What exactly is meant by “illegally colluding?”

[Candor7]

PING!!!!

Another conservative primary upset victory in Delaware.

[Blue Jays]

Christine O'Donnell wins!

[Haiku Guy]

I was predicting a 5% margin for O’Donnell. Looks like I estimated low. Wow.

Now it is time to take the fight to the Democrat. No whining by Castle supporters. He threw everything he could at O’Donnell, and she still beat him. She can beat the Democrat, too.

I bet if the People of Delaware have a Conservative alternative, they will gladly take it.

[Candor7]

PING!!!!

Another conservative primary upset victory in Delaware.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yeeeeeessssss indeed!!!!!

[Typical_Whitey]

Certainly Barry is the most radical leftist President this country has ever elected. He ran as a Centrist and as soon as he won off came the mask and now America is rejecting his brand of Socialism.

The media will never report on something that they colluded to make happen.

[Grams A]

They were bashing her all week.”

Yes, the RINO insiders were, led by Cornyn.

[Diogenesis]

[Psalm 144]

URRAH!!!

URRAH!!!

URRAH!!!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The Wall Street Journal referred to her as an “insurgent”!!!

[Commander X]

Thanks! Let the year of conservative women commence!! Wahoo!!!!

[I still care]

Whoa. They’re graduating from unexpected to shocking.

Maybe they are starting to get it.

[Tzimisce]

And the ruling class starts getting nervous.

How tough are the walls in the ivory towers?

[Dr. Sivana]

How does a candidate illegally collude with voters other than outright buying of votes?

money raised by outside agencies are supposed to not get guidance from the candidate as to the content of ads. The reason for the rule is so 527s and PACs don't become extensions of the campaign organization to get around campaign contribution limits.

[Brett66]

Rove is spewing his establishment crap on FNC, he is going to be proven 1000% wrong!

[Ticonderoga34]

The GOP also filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission accusing O'Donnell of illegally colluding with tea party supporters.

I thought that we had freedom of association in this country?

This really makes no sense. Once again the GOP proves itself to be the Stupid Party.

Tomorrow, I'm making a donation to O'Donnell. RINO's can go screw themselves.

[jiggyboy]

Karl Rove on Hannity right now is practically reading the Democrat talking points. His claim of “serious character problems” is especially galling.

[Constitutional Patriot]

“...but are all buddy-buddy and “my good friend”, “my good buddy”, “my special lover” with Democrats.”

That’s because the RNC establishment has been co-opted by democrats for many years. These are the same people who wanted Palin on the ticket w/ McLoser, but hated her guts and would have campaigned against her if she had been at the top of the ticket where she belonged. They only wanted her on the tickets to sure-up the conservatives before election day.

[jslade]

Liberals......we’re coming after you!

[Blue Jays]

There was concern Castle might have switched parties to become a Democrat after the election if he remained in office.
We won't have to worry about that now. It was essential he be booted out and a strong message be sent to fellow RINOs.

[I still care]

Rush came out big for O Donnell today.

He’s going to be rolling tomorrow.

A M E N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conservative Revolution, Viva! Watching Sean NOW!

[gusopol3]

“anger,””advertising dollars”— at least they’re even-handed; that’s exactly what they said when Obama beat McCain.Sure.
