"O'Donnell is running on a solidly conservative platform, much like she did in 2008, when she challenged Biden and won just 35 percent of the vote. Now, her biggest job is convincing people that this race -- a primary open only to Republicans -- is one she can win.

For months, Washington-based Republicans have counted Delaware as a GOP pickup, but they've just assumed the Republican candidate would be Castle. The 71-year-old congressman is a former governor who has been in the House since 1993. He once led Democratic candidate Chris Coons by a huge margin, but that's changing.

The republicans should throw up the threat of lame duck laws and state that they will defund them now and repeal them later.

There is no doubt, she will get the endorsement from DeMint and Palin, Castle is nothing more then a Democrat.

The biggest, most dangerous schism in the GOP is not left and right.

Not big or small government.

It is America vs Globalist.
