WOW: Christine O'Donnell leading Mike Castle in Delware Republican primary for Senate

"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."

If O'Donnell wins, we get the Senate seat, and our chances of keeping the Senate rise dramatically. (If Castle wins, we more likely lose the seat.) This is great news.

1. Is it adultery to fantasize about an O'Donnell primary win?

2. Yes! Typical idiot re-pubic-rats shooting themselves in the foot.

3. Is there any chance that nut could win the general though???

Anyone familiar with Delaware politics, i was under assumption it was very blue state, Castle is st least somewhat sane compared to most Republicans, Jesus this poll is a shock...

long as she can't win the general, that's all that matters..

4. Anything is possible, but it is extremely unlikely. She is behind Coons by double digits. n/t

5. Isn't she the broad who denounced masturbation?

A little too red state for a blue state like Delaware.

7. Yes. n/t

6. Oh, between the possibilty of this goofy O'Donnell losing what should have been a sure seat--

and the idea that Palin's boy might tip Alaska "blue", makes me giddy.

8. This is amazing news

If O'Donnell wins she will lose to Coons for sure. The tea party is literally handing this race to us, and I could not love them more for it. I swear to god, if this whole situation in Delaware doesn't make the media reexamine their democratic doomsday scenario I am not sure what will.

9. Looks like the tea baggers are tea bagging themselves.

Would that be masturbation?
