How far behind was she in the primary??
O’Donnell got 35.3% of the vote against Biden in 2008 when Obama took the state with 67.8%. Win or lose, she is a winner because she took out a RINO in the primary.
Going further down that road, the Dems will try and spin Coons trouncing O’Donnell as a major repudiation of TEA party supported candidates.
Won’t work, but that’s what the Dems are hoping for.
And no, I don’t want Castle anywhere near the Senate as a Republican. Castle supports Cap and Trade. Enough said.
Welcome to freerepublic, and no, the thank you note goes to Karl Rove for jumping on her 53% to 47% victory night, and dumping ice water on her momentum, and continuing it for days, the NRSC, and then Mike Castle for announcing early, and then again TODAY, again with perfect timing to deflate O'Donnell, that he would not endorse the Republican candidate because he was treated too meanly in the primary, clearly signaling to his support to not support her.
Conservatives won the GOP primary in a one on one contest, and the Republican establishment went to war against the Republican winner.
Not sure if this anecdote applies, but I was picking out apples at Maryland grocery store and overheard a middle aged woman emphatically stating to another; “I am a Democrat, but I will be voting a straight Republican ticket this time!!!!”
Wonder if this voter’s intent is appearing in poll data?
I believe they are, and I'm hoping that indifference will keep many of them at home.
In the end, that was a victory by the Demon-rats LONG FORGOTTEN because they got their communist asses kicked six ways to Sunday in the rest of the nation.
I still hope COD wins--I sent her some money, and she is right on the issues.
Even if she loses, she is still right on the issues. And RINOs are still on the run.
All worth it.
Voters in Delaware are entitled to make their choice and live with it. O'Donnell is giving them a real opportunity to make our nation stronger.
Because if the numbers are true, the talking points will be "President Obama pulls one out for his party!".
Seems everywhere else he goes, his party drops in the polls.
Just think of it this way: Christine O’Donnell took out a nine time incumbent Congressman, the longest-serving U.S. Representative in the state’s history, a fomer Lt. Gov, and a two-time former governor in the primary.
Sorry! Time to move . But where ??? Pa. has the best firearms laws in the whole Northeast and no state tax on any type of retirement income.
Aren’t you the one who always says you would rather have a left-wing Democrat win the Senate seat than a RINO?
You got your wish . . please don’t complain.
That money is needed more in other races. It's over for her.
One loss in a very blue state like Delaware means very little.
I would much rather have 49 or 50 in the GOP than 52 with Castle.
With friends like those you really don't need enemies. Plus, the fear of God should be in L. Graham and other RINOS.
Does anyone know if the debate is going to be streamed on-line somewhere?
No it isn’t all about that but it is about that along with other things.
Hey I blame Karl Rove above all others for torpedoing her at the start, what he did really was evil. He destroyed a republican candidate just because she was a conservative. So I feel the pain.

That wouldn't be me newby, so you were lying there, but it seems that you prefer rinos.
And to FReepers who are talking down Christine O'Donnell.
