This is going to be a strong GOP year, even in Del.
There is no reason to accept Democrat-lite.
Two months ago O'Donnell was a ham sandwich (aka a generic candidate). No one really knew who she was or what she stood for. Let's face it, when she ran for Senate before she basically was the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter. She had no chance against the D candidate. They had no need to open their oppo research books against her.
Thus far, O'Donnell has let Castle and others define her. (A terrible thing for any politician to do). As a result, her negatives went up and her slim lead over Coons two months ago turned into a likely double-digit defeat.
Yes, the tactics used by Castle have stunk and yes, it goes without saying that O'Donnell is the better of the two candidates to just anyone on this site.
But unfortunately, our views are not well represented by the majority of the people of the State of Delaware. They are more RINO-ish than we'd ever, ever be. As a result, O'Donnell is not the more electable candidate there. Castle is.
It basically boils down to whether you want someone in the Senate that is voting for the Republicans staying in power who is with us most of the time or someone voting with Harry Reid and Barack Obama 90% of the time. The answer is obvious to me.
