Palin Power and DeMint TEA backing in Delaware helped deliver victory to O'Donnell

Republican Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell wins decisive victory over entrenched liberal Republican Mike Castle

Republican Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell won the GOP Primary election in the bid to win Joe Biden's old Senate.

The decisive victory was aided by Palin Power, DeMint muscle and scores of outspokenly blatant conservatives. Both Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint endorsed O'Donnell and TEA Party activists were loyal foot soldiers with very little campaign funding and not huge TV ad buys.

In short, it was payback time for Palin, playing power broker in the state of the seat of her old Veep candidate nemesis, Joe Biden.

After decades of playing RINO politics, entrenched liberal Republican Mike Castle was put into what appears to be permanent political retirement.

The final vote count appears to be about 53 to 47 percent.

But this is a constitutional, Christian, independent victory, not a Republican win, since both the national and state GOP fiercely opposed O'Donnell.

The question now is: Will the GOP back to abandon O'Donnell?

Answer: It doesn't matter. Either way it appears even liberal and moderate states have 'seen the light' and are delivering heat to their bankrupt benefactors who promised utopia and delivered debt and misery.

Christine’s election will stand between cap and trade and card check. She will be that 41st.vote and is no Scott Brown.

We cannot allow the dems to continue on with their destruction of America.

As it is a special election she will be sworn in the very next day after the election.

WE CAN DO IT!!!

Castle's voting for socialism deserves the credit, not the coat tail riders.
