Last time I checked Christine O'Donnell ran on the
Republican ticket not the Tea Party ticket.
Secondly, Castle was a congressman from a relatively
moderate to left district. He was now running for Senate.
The state of Delaware only has one Senator.
His chances of taking Biden’s seat from a state
that has slid to the left over the years was poor as it was.
What ever support he had from Republicans and
independents was ruined after his vote for cap
and trade and his alignment with Soros and Podestra’s
Center For American Progress among many other
violations of Conservative principals.
That's why he lost to Christine O'Donnell.
It had little to do with Sarah Palin.
Ruined the RNC’s chances?
After running Dole and McCain and putting a communist appeaser like
Michael Steele as chairman I don't think the RNC
needed any help.
The RNC is at fault here.
They have gone the direction of the socialists.
Christine O'Donnell is the result.
The GOP voters are fed up!
They elected her.
We support the RNC through our donations (many small
business did before McCain destroyed that) and
it is owned by its members. Not the betraying politicians that
try to control it.
The people that are destroying the GOP must go! If the
people of Delaware wanted to elect socialists or
communist's all they would need to do is vote Democrat.
I think you mean that Delaware only has one representative in the House: ALL states have two senators.
That’s why he lost to Christine O’Donnell. It had little to do with Sarah Palin.”
You might want to look at the tracking polls and see what happened to her after Palin threw her support. I don’t think it was a coincidence.
“We support the RNC through our donations (many small business did before McCain destroyed that)”
Not MY small business ... not anymore ... checks go direct to campaigns. Screw the RNC.
THAT’S WHY HE LOST TO CHRISTINE O’DONNELL.
IT HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH SARAH PALIN.
Dave, if you check the history of the Palin House, Senate or gubernatorial endorsements and how they affected the primary and lifted her endorsee to victory she provided different things to different candidates:
1)Christine O’Donnell
Political legitimacy as a worthy candidate and not a flake
2)Kelly Ayotte
Allowed Kelly to eke out a narrow win over a strong conservative challenge
3)Carly Fiorina
Disabused the notion Fiorina was a RINO and stamped her as a conservative
4)Susana Martinez
Allowed Martinez to break open a very tight primary race and to romp to an easy victory giving her the momentum she now has in the general election
5)Joe Miller
Gave him name recognition and increased his profile
6)Nikki Haley
Caused her to dramatically catapault from 3rd or 4th place to first place by a wide margin
7)Rand Paul
Legitimized the Tea Party movement as a major player when she went up against the establishment and Rand Paul as a major player within the TPM and established her ties to the libertarian movement
8)Pam Bondi
Provided the margin of victory
9)Tom Emmer
Allowed him to win against a tough opponent
10)Michele Bachmann
The unity of the two most hated conservative women in America
What are you talking about?
How could the first state have only one Senator?
All States are represented by 2 Senators, so they will have equal representation.
Who are these guys?:

Got the listing off the Senate site:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=DE
Um, every state has two senators. That’s why there’s 100 of them. I think you meant to say that DE only has one Congressman.
