Christine O'Donnell was an idiot that was not properly vetted by the TEA Party. They got behind her because she said the right things, but never really checked into her background. As for your contention above, I'm sorry, but I can not see how electing a democrat to the senate instead of someone who would have voted against Obamacare and helped keep a filubuster alive, is a great service. There are so many "conservatives" on Free Republic that seem to think its better to have a Obama or some other leftwing looneytune in office than someone who doesn't meet their personal definition of conservative. I'll never understand that mentality.

Because Castle was a democrat too, whatever he called himself. There’s now a democrat in the seat we can be against instead of a democrat we have to defend. He would have turned as surely as Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter did.
