Raleigh, N.C. – It looks like there’s a real possibility of a major upset in the Delaware Senate primary on Tuesday night, with insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell leading longtime Congressman and Governor Mike Castle 47-44. That 3 point lead is well within the poll’s margin of error. If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore. Castle has an overwhelming 69-21 lead with moderate voters but they only make up 33% of the likely primary electorate. O’Donnell has a 62-31 lead with conservatives that’s more than enough to propel her to the overall lead. It’s clear that Castle’s popularity has taken a sharp turn in the wrong direction over the last month. An August PPP poll found his favorability with Delaware Republicans at a 60/25 spread. Now his favorables within the party are negative at 43/47. That’s largely a product of 55% of voters in his party saying they think he’s too liberal compared to 37% who think he’s about right. GOP voters are pretty sharply divided about O’Donnell as well. 45% have a favorable opinion of her with 41% seeing her unfavorably. Only 50% of primary voters think she’s fit to hold public office but she does much better than Castle on the ideology front- 53% think she’s about right. If O’Donnell pulls it out Tuesday night it will be a major victory for Delaware’s small but united group of Tea Party voters. Just 25% of Republicans in the state consider themselves to be members of that movement but they give her a 79-18 advantage that’s more than enough to overcome her 52-39 deficit with everyone else.
LOL, truthfreedom... Great minds, eh?!?!
Cheers!

This race is going to the WIRE.
CASTLE IS GOING DOWN!
I knew she could do it!
It is indeed true that Dem-lite is not the future of the Republican Party. Perhaps RINOs could become the conservative wing of the Socialist Demonrat Party.
If Christine wins, she would not have without the endorsement of Sarah Palin. Something magic happens when Palin endorses anybody.

"Hey RNC can you hear me now?" Good!
PPP isn’t worth a ****, but there’s no doubt that Christine doesn’t have the big MO.
She must be doing something right.
Castle, and the State GOP are pounding her.
And they would not be pounding her, if their polls were not showing it close, as well.
They were the only ones that called it right for Scott Brown if I recall correctly.
“You nailed the trend FIRST on FaceBook!”
And your incessant postings for Christine actually created the trend. Well done, Onyx!!
And Sarah Palin put a big hammer on that nail last week. Another RINO about to go onto the ash heap of history.
As bad as Obama is, the silver lining is that the GOP is really getting some good new congresscritters.
And, of course, they have Sarah Palin.. She wouldn’t be nearly this effective as VP under McCain.
All things work according to God’s plan.
Go Christine!
You will change the senate!!
Go Christine!
You will change the senate!!
I am not surprised by this at all.
From the acts of desperation on the part of the Castle campaign and its allies, to the decision by both Palin and DeMint to make get involved in this race at this late date, all indications are those with access to insider knowledge about what’s really happening on the ground in DE see it as very competitive race.
Can’t wait to hear Michael Steele and Bobby Gibbs try to explain this.
Win the battle..lose the war
When O’Donnell LOSES what should have been an easy GOP pickup by Mike Castle, we’ll be sorry...
Ok... Where did the photo go admin? Don’t tell me, you have to watch that stuff now...
If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates RINOS may or may not be welcome anymore.
Fixed!
Awesome. We didn’t want you to HAVE to vote for a DUm-o-rat!
Yes!
