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?

No, I'm saying that if he had been the nominee, he would not have been able to raise $5 million from all over the country the way O'Donnell did.

He was well-known and liked in Delaware, but had zero appeal for the more conservative national party and would not be able to rely on outside moneyThe FEC pre-primary reports show him with 12 times the money of “the flawed candidate” that beat him.

As I was saying, he was husbanding his resources because he believed that he needed to keep his powder dry for the general election.

GOP primary voters tend to be the most conservative voters in their state or district.

Castle is too liberal for most Republicans - against a vocal conservative opponent, he put up a tough fight but he lost.
