WILMINGTON, Del. – Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell earned a stunning victory in Delaware's Republican Senate primary Tuesday, riding a wave of tea party anger and advertising dollars to oust U.S. Rep. Michael Castle.

O'Donnell's shocking win gave new energy to the tea party movement, which targeted Castle after victories by Republican tea party candidates in the Alaska and Nevada Senate primaries.

With 78 percent of precincts reporting, O'Donnell had 54 percent to 46 percent for Castle, a former two-term governor and the longest serving congressman in Delaware history.

It’s funny....the moderate-liberal RINOS fight savagely against Conseravatives, but are all buddy-buddy and “my good friend”, “my good buddy”, “my special lover” with Democrats.

I was predicting a 5% margin for O’Donnell. Looks like I estimated low. Wow.

Now it is time to take the fight to the Democrat. No whining by Castle supporters. He threw everything he could at O’Donnell, and she still beat him. She can beat the Democrat, too.

I bet if the People of Delaware have a Conservative alternative, they will gladly take it.

Certainly Barry is the most radical leftist President this country has ever elected. He ran as a Centrist and as soon as he won off came the mask and now America is rejecting his brand of Socialism.

The media will never report on something that they colluded to make happen.

And the ruling class starts getting nervous.

How tough are the walls in the ivory towers?

How does a candidate illegally collude with voters other than outright buying of votes?

money raised by outside agencies are supposed to not get guidance from the candidate as to the content of ads. The reason for the rule is so 527s and PACs don't become extensions of the campaign organization to get around campaign contribution limits.
