If Castle had, in contrast to O'Donnell, been running a competent campaign like he did in the primary...

Despite the fact that he was not the favorite of the conservative base, he ran a very close campaign in the primary.

His track record includes 14 successful general election victories in DE to O'Donnell's three failed ones.

Everyone knows that the most conservative voters turn out for GOP state primaries.

He had 3 million and the Delaware Republican Party in his pocket and couldn't beat "a flawed candidate".

He had 3.5 million - most of which he had budgeted to spend after the primary.

O'Donnell actually raised $5 million, after all was said and done over the cycle.

The ridiculous lengths people go to to avoid placing this loss in the lap of the Delaware Republican Party is beyond absurd.

Who is avoiding it? It is absolutely the fault of the Delaware GOP: they picked a candidate who could not win a general election in their state.

It's not necessarily O'Donnell's fault taht she ran a bad campaign. For all we know, that was the best she was capable of.

Now you’re saying he wasn’t even a good enough candidate to raise more money for the primary after all his years in the House?????????????

The FEC pre-primary reports show him with 12 times the money of “the flawed candidate” that beat him.

If I can get one remark to the point out of you- why did he lose the primary?
