Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell holds a 47 percent to 44 percent lead over establishment favorite Rep. Mike Castle in Tuesday's Delaware GOP Senate primary, according to a new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released on Sunday.
O'Donnell's lead among 668 likely Delaware Republican primary voters was within the poll's margin of error, but if she were able to defeat Castle on Tuesday, it would mark another extraordinary upset for a tea party-backed candidate in a GOP Senate primary.
On Thursday, O'Donnell picked up former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's endorsement, and Palin has recorded a robocall on O'Donnell's behalf. The new PPP poll was conducted after Palin endorsed O'Donnell.
Palin's last-minute push on behalf of Fairbanks attorney Joe Miller proved critical in Miller's shocking victory over incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in last month's Republican primary in Alaska.

RINOs don’t act on core beliefs. They act on what they percieve is politically expedient. If they “automatically” end up with challenge from the right when they vote with the liberals they will stop voting with the liberals out of thier perception of political risk. It’s worth it, win or lose in the primaries to ALWAYS, every 2 years, put up conservative challengers.
I hope the tea party activism survives “victory” because political expediency certainly will.

Thanks for the ping; post. BUMP for Christine!
That is a shame. I saw her on Fox this AM and she handed the dummie McCollum her empty head.
O’Donnell took on the RNC establishment. Since when does being a Repub mean you give up your Constitutional Rights?
She had every right to sue.
I think she should have taken her fight to the electorate as she is doing now. Time for RINOs to go. Why do you think she is up in the polls now? The Rinos arwe in full stampede, but will not work.
You can add Wisconsin to your list.
Ditto
You can’t clear a contaminated pond by taking water out of one side of it and dumping it back in on the other side. As others have said before, this election is but a step in the process unless that is you are one of those instant karma types (and we know how well that works out).
Simply put, all I can say to you is that Forrest Gump said it best in what his Mama always told him.
I will be voting for Kelly tomorrow, here in Amherst.
From the pollsters’ lips to the voters ears!!!
Rassmussen’s last poll shows Castle winning against Coons by 11 in the general, but O’Donnell LOSING by 11 to Coons.
She will be poster child for the GOP a.k.a “tea party” media will make sure of this. Listen to her on radio and how she answers. She will not only lose Moderate/liberal Deleware, but be a weight on the brand of GOP and Tea Party. Listen to her radio interview and then give me your thoughts. I want to win. Losing to commies is the greatest consequence. She is not the “real deal” she is weak. She was testy, unresponsive, “lied” flippantly on stupid things.
What are you running for? If you don't think she is a perfect enough conservative, why is your hat not in the race?
What is it you want to win? Is that why you voted for the big zero? Is winning that important to you? Tell you what, I want to buy your vote. I'll give you the putz of the year tropjy. I won it fair and square and is mine to give to anyone I think deserving.

Look. Listen to her http://www.wgmd.com/?p=9496 . On issues she is Conservative, but she is not a prime time person. Listen to her. She lies and sounds terrible in this interview. The questions were easy and she comes off as terrible. She will never win. You don’t need to call me a putz. I didn’t attack you. You can attack my thoughts and judgement, but lets not get personal.
But I will never vote for a Rino again. If it's the devil against a Rino, the devil will get my vote. If you do not think there is a candidate in the race worthy of your vote, write in who you would prefer. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
Right, and when Castle pulls a Jeffords you’ll still support him?
