Tea Party-endorsed Christine O'Donnell clobbered heavily favored, establishment-endorsed Congressman Mike Castle 53-47 percent in yesterday's primary to win the Republican Party's nomination in the race to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate.
She now faces heavily favored Democrat Chris Coons in the seat formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden.
National Republicans say she will not get their support. Former Bush 43 guru Karl Rove, visibly upset, told O'Donnell supporter Sean Hannity on his Fox News program, that he had met her and was "not impressed" and practically ruled out any hope for a GOP victory in the Diamond State on Nov. 2.

She wouldn’t win the primary either.......
Rove showed his Ruling Class colors last night. The veil is being lifted on many in DC.
If everyone sends a minimum of ten dollars to her campaign she won’t need the stinkin’ GOP establishment’s backing or money. This campaign will have to be completely grassroots.
She’s got her work cut out for her, but I agree that she can win. She has to turn every personal question back on the questioner with this repetitive refrain:
Why don’t you want to ask me about issues? Are you afraid to talk about issues in public? Are you afraid what the public might think of the issues?
Over and over again, just repeat those three questions back to the questioner who’s repeating the dem/media/rove slander-points at her.
The only thing I hate worse than a republican, is a democrat.
She has a nation of Conservatives behnd her!!
I have reservations about her—quite a few—but she’s our candidate. I don’t understand the Rove attitude. A Dem is going to be better than someone who at the very least is another R seat in the Senate? What the hell kind of logic is that?
We are seeing a "people power" revolution taking place.
The political class, and the elitists are panicking right now. Yes - that includes Karl Rove, William Kristol, Michael Medved, etc..
It is "the people", you, your family, your next door neighbor, that is performing an "EXORCISM" in America! Christine O'Donnell has shown the 'light of day' and her election has been part of the exorcism process. The true faces of the 'ruling class' are now coming out in reaction to her victory and it's not pretty...
I used to identify myself as a Republican.
Then I started emphasizing my Conservative beliefs instead.
I now oppose the Republican party about as much as I oppose the Democrats. Neither party wants me to be a free individual.
Our only hope is in people who value the Constitution. That leaves the GOP out.
Ok, I admit that I dont know much about Christine ODonnell. What is it that makes the Republican establishment so concerned about her honesty and character?
Been to her site and contributed today and will do it again in the future. Who needs the RNC and the political elites?
The “little people” who pay the bills for this gluttonous government need to get registered and go vote this November.
agreed- $10
chance to smack the RINO establishment in the face? priceless
I wonder if it’s going to be to her advantage that the GOP won’t support her.
I think it was lifted when Bush nominated Harriet Myers for the Supreme Court.
GOP ass hats come out against O’Donnell even as she is making acceptance speech.
F YOU, GOP!
I am now 100 percent behind O’Donnell...a name I didn’t even know two weeks ago. BECAUSE of you fools. Oh, yeah. My check to the GOP is in the mail... go to the post office and wait for it.
That's OK. If she cannot win the general she doesn't stand a prayer in the primary and will get trounced by Castle. Oh wait ...
Say it loud!
If Rove intended to piss off the base he succeeded.
