"It was sabotage."
Oh, man. That's laughable. If it was "sabatoge", O'Donnell herself was the saboteur. The only way she was going to win that election was if she changed her name to "Chris Coons".
In the generally accepted rules of political campaigning, if during the course of your campaign you feel it necessary to produce a commercial that contains the phrase, "I am not a witch", you've officially lost ALL hope of winning.
I think anyone would stipulate that Castle would have been an eventual disaster for the GOP. The problem wasn't that O'Donnell beat Castle, the problem was that conservative activists in DE couldn't find a conservative candidate in Delaware that wasn't an ultra-moron. If Christine O'Donnell is the most competent "conservative" you can find to carry your battle flag, then you've got bigger problems than Mike Castle.
How bad was O'Donnell as a candidate? Not only did she self-immolate her own campaign, she darn near took Toomey with her because of the heavy advertising bleed over in the DE/PA media markets. That's a bad statewide candidate - you're so bad that you start taking down members of your own party in adjoining states.
O'Donnell was and is a joke of MONUMENTAL proportions. I say. let's all forget her as quickly as possible, and let the healing of the Delaware Republican party and conservative movement begin post-haste.
Huck—The nut just keeps going and going like the battery bunny. Maybe it really is Jon Moseley himself—he’s acting crazy enough.
Next thing, you’ll find out I was in Karl Rove’s hurricane machine.
But this week, I guess my all-powerful buddy (HA!) Karl Rove just doesn’t have what it takes...why, it’s Delaware GOP and Gondring who control the minds of Delaware voters.
