It was a republican primary. Independents didn’t vote in the republican primary. Castle couldn’t win the majority of the people willing to come out for the republican primary.
I don’t know why. I know that conservatives were highly motivated to vote for O’Donnell. I don’t know if the moderate/liberal republicans just assumed Castle would win, or if they didn’t really care, or what.
Well, I think you get what I’m saying.
If there’s a turtle on a fence post it didn’t get there by itself.
Castle should have had no problem beating O’Donnell with his money and influence.
