Beware the finger-wagging entrenched pol.

Delaware Republicans call Senate hopeful Christine O'Donnell a liar who "could not be elected dog catcher" in a fierce attack that underscores GOP fears of the tea party-backed candidate knocking off top recruit Rep. Mike Castle and winning the nomination.
Stunned by tea partier Joe Miller's upset of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Republicans are taking no chances in Delaware, which holds its primary Sept. 14. The party sees Castle, the state's lone congressman since 1993, as the best candidate for the seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden.
Republicans circulated audio of a testy, 22-minute interview that O'Donnell had with radio station WGMD on Thursday. Party officials also have said she inflated her resume and made flat-out untrue statements while being dogged by questions about tax liens and foreclosures. Castle says she has misrepresented his record.
"She's not a viable candidate for any office in the state of Delaware," state party chairman Tom Ross, who is backing Castle, said in a telephone interview. "She could not be elected dog catcher."

..the GOP had better start listening.....
I think that the attacks on O’Donnel are over the top and unfair, and I support Castle. These tactics don’t inspire confidence in the party.
Beware the finger-wagging entrenched pol.
Yea, right.
all these newbie repubs deserve support.
they will be the only ones to vote against the vat in 11’.
it will pass btw.
I sent her a $100 donation. Thats the best reaction.
Mike Castle has GOT to go.
Throw the Castle out.
The GOP establishment has more in common with the Democrat leadership than with the folks.
This is one rare case where the RINO should win. O’Donnell has a weak resume and won’t win in DE. No question. This really is a choice between a RINO or a Dem and I’ll take the RINO to vote for the GOP senate majority leader.
THE RINO Castle is being ‘hinted’ at voting with the Democrats in the lame duck session, you got remember he gets to immediately serve once he wins.... he is more liberal than many RINO’s
Hey Castle, two words.... LISA MURKOWSKI !!!!
Nuff said.
We DO need a DOG CATCHER in Congress !!!
GO GET THEM DOGS !!!
I don’t know much about her except that the Delaware GOP seem to be attacking her pretty hard.
O'Donnell is weak. She doesn't have a small fraction of the credibility of a Mike Lee or Trey Gowdy or Joe Miller.
She's just another vanity candidate out for publicity.
On the other hand, Castle is worthless.
He is a TARP voter too isn’t he?
