WILMINGTON, Del. – Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell earned a stunning victory in Delaware's Republican Senate primary Tuesday, riding a wave of tea party anger and advertising dollars to oust U.S. Rep. Michael Castle.

O'Donnell's shocking win gave new energy to the tea party movement, which targeted Castle after victories by Republican tea party candidates in the Alaska and Nevada Senate primaries.

With 78 percent of precincts reporting, O'Donnell had 54 percent to 46 percent for Castle, a former two-term governor and the longest serving congressman in Delaware history.

I thought that we had freedom of association in this country?

This really makes no sense. Once again the GOP proves itself to be the Stupid Party.

Tomorrow, I'm making a donation to O'Donnell. RINO's can go screw themselves.

Karl Rove on Hannity right now is practically reading the Democrat talking points. His claim of “serious character problems” is especially galling.

“...but are all buddy-buddy and “my good friend”, “my good buddy”, “my special lover” with Democrats.”

That’s because the RNC establishment has been co-opted by democrats for many years. These are the same people who wanted Palin on the ticket w/ McLoser, but hated her guts and would have campaigned against her if she had been at the top of the ticket where she belonged. They only wanted her on the tickets to sure-up the conservatives before election day.

There was concern Castle might have switched parties to become a Democrat after the election if he remained in office.
We won't have to worry about that now. It was essential he be booted out and a strong message be sent to fellow RINOs.

“anger,””advertising dollars”— at least they’re even-handed; that’s exactly what they said when Obama beat McCain.Sure.

There is no way that the FEC had time to rule on this before the primary, so it was a set up for a post primary scorched earth policy. The party establishment wants to try to cripple her to show that no one crosses the Grand Old Punks.

And now Karl Rove is on the Hannity show telling why she can't win... you don't get more establishment that Rove.

Michael Steele fingerprints all over this one. It didn't happen without his support or approval.

How does a candidate illegally collude with voters other than outright buying of votes?

Was it because of the cookies served at one rally?

Rove just trashed O’Donnell on Hannity. That is after Dana Perino trashed her.

What do you think wil be the votes and actions of Orin Hatch in the next 12 months? What about Dick Luger in IN? Will these two RINO retire gracefully or will they have to get a licking from Tea pary conservatives??? These conservtive wins like Miller and ODonnell by ballot and Bennet by caucaus shows the future of the party...it is more conservative and less government

Wow, Karl Rove sounded like a typical beltway establishment Republican on Hannity’s show. Thumbs down for that appearance.
