In her 2008 Senate campaign, O'Donnell ran as well as any Republican in Delaware. McCain only got 37% of the vote in Delaware.
a little dabbling now and then didn’t hold back these national paragons too much:
Robert Byrd: I dabbled in cross-burnings and lynchings
Ted Kennedy: I dabbled in drowning young mistresses
John Kerry: I dabbled around on a river in Cambodia
Nancy Pelosi: “Dabbling is not enough for me.... I AM A WITCH”
Harry Reid: “I dabble around with my pet Coons”
Albore: I dabbled in rationality but decided it took too much effort
John Edwards: I dabbled in adultery and couldnt stop
Hillary: I dabbled in S&M
Bill Clinton: I dabbled with cigars.... still do
Obama: I dabbled about with terrorists
The information I had regarding how well she did must have been in relation to the GOP in Del. in 2008.
As well as? In 2008 Castle won with 61% of the vote, absolutely destroying his Obama-endorsed opponent. 56 Republicans ran for office in DE in 2008, O'Donnell had the 45th best showing among them.
