WHEN did Armey endorse Castle?

“We stay out of that race because we’re not convinced O’Donnell can win,” FreedomWorks president and CEO Matt Kibbe said at the Christian Science Monitor-sponsored event.

FreedomWorks chair Dick Armey shared the ambivalence toward O’Donnell, who’s sparked a kind of GOP breakdown with her fast-rising candidacy against party stalwart Mike Castle, who most view as a shoo-in for Vice President Biden’s old Senate seat should he win the nomination. Presented with polling data showing likely Democratic nominee Chris Coons beating O’Donnell in a general election, Armey was asked “if it’s better for Republicans to lose with a tea party-backed candidate than to win with a mainstream Republican candidate.”

“I’m going to give a quick answer,” Armey said. “No.”

I very well may have it mixed up. I know Palin endorsed both Ayotte and O'Donnell--and Tea Party Express endorsed a different candidate in NH to go against Hodes. Which is OK, as long as it's out in the open. What makes me furious is how Rove used his Fox pulpit to talk about O'Donnell's "rectitude".

So, I'm wondering if Armey got tangled up in Rove's machinations.
