You are correct. To some extent this may make no difference now. I am on the ground in DE and there are some seriously pissed off Republican voters here. And these people don't give two shitz what Eric Erickson, NRO, or Chris Christie have to say at this point. Mike Castle has shown that he can buy almost anything. In this state however. he cannot, buy a defense of his record. Its a closed primary on 9/14. The old GOP will face the music one way or another. Here is the final paragraph of a piece I hope you will read elsewhere soon:
If Mike Castle, and the old establishment wing of The GOP are able to buy this primary in Delaware, what will it ultimately cost them? In the same way that millions of average Americans have been radicalized by the raw exercise of power on the part of President Obama. Delaware Republicans are becoming increasingly bitter over Mike Castles tactics. The first price Republicans would pay would come in the form of Sen. Chris Coons (D) Delaware. If Castle buys the Delaware primary, the now energized Republican base would certainly vote present" on November 2nd. The next consequence of Mike Castles heavy-handed tactics would be a further weakening of the Delaware GOP. Tens of thousands registered Republicans would become Registered Independents. Is this the price establishment Republicans are willing to pay? Apparently so.

I honestly think that these attacks will backfire. People will wonder why Castle was so vicious. When they figure out that he was trying to cover his record, there will be a huge backlash. And Christine O’Donnell can win. If Bill Roth could win all those years, then O’Donnell can win in this year which is going to be a very big GOP year (But I agree...not big enough to get Castle over the finish line.)Conservatives are not going to be bamboozled into voting for another Chaffee or Specter. No way
