She had zero appeal outside her base.

Not true. In the Summer of 2010, Christine O'Donnell was polling ahead of the Democrat Chris Coons.

You point out that Delaware's voter registration is 29.4% Republican, yet Christine O'Donnell got 40% of the vote.

Delaware is registered 293,000 Democrats to 183,000 Republicans. Yet in the Summer O'Donnell's polling -- not internal polling, either, but independent -- was AHEAD of Chris Coons.

That would require O'Donnell to attract a significant number of Reagan Democrats and Independents.

It is true that 19% of registered Republicans voted for some other candidate, not for their own nominee, according to exit polling (when protesting RINO's would be likely to say they opposed the nominee). So the sore loser contingent in Delaware is at least 19%.

Let's note: ISN'T IT THE MIKE CASTLE CAMPAIGN THAT NEVER RUNS OUT OF EXCUSES??? Christine O'Donnell beat Mike Castle. Yet the sore loser class keeps trying to attack Christine O"Donnell to make excuses for their humiliating loss in the Republican primary.

Stop making excuses. Your guy Mike Castle lost. The Republican voters of Delaware rejected him and you. Grow up.

The disconnect I mentioned is well illustrated in your post. Elections aren’t held in the summer.

What a shame the election was held in the fall, and not before people remembered why they didn’t like her the first time she ran for senate in the prior election.

btw. Not everybody registered actually votes.

>>> The Republican voters of Delaware rejected him and you. Grow up.

Note what happened with O’Donnell and take your own advise. But you won’t of course.

A Rassumusen Reports poll showed her with a 2-point lead over Coons on 7/14/2010, within the margin of error, and with 20% uncommitted. That’s the only standard polling firm poll I can find that shows O’Donnell beating Coons, but I’m guessing you have better sources. Could you post links to the multiple polls showing she was beating Coons?
