“Exit polls show Castle would’ve lost. “
The exit polls are skewed. There may be many who decided they weren’t going to vote for anyone. Or maybe they were so ticked off by o’donnell that it drove more dems to get out and vote for Coons. The O’donnell bashing could’ve affected Toomey as well.
Castle also didn’t have a post-primary campaign. I’m sure that would’ve changed things.

Or maybe O’Donnell was harmed because Castle, Rove, and the rest of the GOP establishment not only refused to back her with their support, but instead publicly smeared and ridiculed her?
I cast the blame squarely on the GOP establishment for O’Donnell’s loss more than anything.
