"I am choosing just bad."
Okay, let's grant your judgment of O'Donnell for the moment, in order to ask this question:
Is electing a bad Castle to be preferred to sending a clear message that RINOs will NOT get elected any longer??
By your estimation, everyone's pretty bad -- the Dem, Castle, and O'Donnell. Again, let's grant your assumption. In such a case, O'Donnell's winning the primary would carry benefits that extend considerably further than the outcome of the primary or general elections.

Exactly, this race is not hapening in a vacuum. Taken inn a year with the defeats of Crist, Merkowski and Bennett, the defeat of Castle might convince many in the GOP establishment that backing RINOs will not lead to easy victories. Even when the RINOs won, like in Arizona with McCain, they faced ugly primaries. If backing RINOs becomes a bad career move the career politicians in DC will avoid the RINOs like the plague.
The temptation for a conservative to become a RINO is very real. The press will love you and you will be on all the talk shows. You can get lots of money from Soros and co. What we need to show is that if you sell out you will get primaried, every time. And even if you win you will come through battered and broke, only to lose to the dem in the general. Only when that becomes the conventional thinking will we be able to put the NO in RINO.

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.
