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 know it’s a good thing to separate the ‘wheat from the chaff’, but I’m extremely disappointed in some of the (who used to be my favorite) Republicans who have been trashing Christine O’Donnell! :-(
Karl Rove sucked tonight on Hannity. Proved once again that Rino’s r on the run!
What ever happened to the people have voted/spoken? Get behind the candidate
and help her win! If she sucks, next election the people will decide again. I am
pissed that repubs are willing to concede. What the hell is wrong with these people?
Come on Rove, she is the parties candidate, we are all on one team, right, right? We have to work, give and support the parties nominee, right Karl, right? You know the line by heart, you RINO’s have spewed so much since 1988. This time live by your own words that you so sanctimoniously preach to us conservatives every time one of your back stabbing RINO’s wins a nomination.
Even in defeat and her winning the nomination you still trash her and you expect conservatives to continue supporting your back stabbing goons.
My money says you can’t and won’t support her.
mmmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Made my night!!
Just home and seeing this news. AWESOME
ANSWERED PRAYERS
Reasons be damned, it is just one more way for the “establishment” to nullify the will of the people”.
Just examine the proliferation of “law” and it can be
for one reason only, to obfuscate, confuse, and turn
the law abiding into criminals, and we certainly can’t
have criminals running the country can we.
Well, not conservative criminals, that’s for sure.
It’s ok, say it Karl Rove and Dana P.
I am ticked off!
Oh, ye of little faith! We’ll see!
< doing the Snoopy dance >
No he didn't. He said we went from likely picking up 8-9 seats to now likely picking up 7-8 seats. Rove knows she is not a candidate who can win statewide in Delaware and that is all he was pointing out.
Rove is spewing his establishment crap on FNC, he is going to be proven 1000% wrong!
**************
Ah yes. The Arsonist. The archetype of apparatchik who lost us EVERYTHING in only eight years.
Oh, OK. Thanks. Or you could have shortened it to, “by exercising the First Amendment.” ;^)
Stay away from my Foxhole if you give up that easy.
This is precisely why we cancelled satellite TV at ou house. We used to listen to Fox News exclusively, but noticed the heavy rotation with Karl Rove, and numerous other RINO spokespersons (along with the usual liberal yohos). It was nauseating. We figured quitting the propaganda spewed at us was our own "message" back to Fox News. Who needs them? There are lots better ways to spend our dollars and our time.
Delaware is a hyperblue state, and there is no incumbent in this race.
Coons is a liberal who is wrong on everything, but he has a resume that includes serious work in the private sector and actual elected experience.
Having an R after your name does not guarantee you office in DE even in this environment, and being a staunch conservative has never guaranteed you office in DE in any environment.
As more details emerge about O'Donnell's thin resume and, giving her the full benefit of the doubt, easily misinterpreted financial history it will be very difficult for her.
I hope she wins and that she has staffers of top quality once in office. But she is not Scott Brown and Coons is not Martha Coakley.
Indeed! Praise God! One battle won, many more to go before we win the ‘second’ revolutionary war!! :*)
palin is repeating what she did in alaska on her own. Break up the good old boys network establishment
I was screaming at the tv like I did when I (accidentally) saw Keith Oberman, Chrissy Matthews, etc. I don't know if I will ever think the same of Rove after this! I hope he hears from LOTS of people!
If Castle had won, I would have supported him. But he didn’t. The voters of Delaware have made their choice. Now it is time to get behind the nominee and take the fight to the Democrat.
No Democrat is safe in this election cycle. We should concede nothing.
I thought Karl Rove was out directing the hurricane traffic.
Reckon his hurricane machine is unattended?
