State GOP to support O’Donnell, primary winners

[spanone]

Delaware State Republican Chairman Tom Ross released the following statement from GOP headquarters Sept. 16:

“Tuesday night, Delaware Republicans came out in large numbers to nominate candidates across the state to bring prosperity and accountability to Washington and Dover. After a hard fought primary it is time to come together and unite over our shared principles and determination to rescue our economy from the destructive policies advanced by Democrats.

“The Delaware Republican Party plans on doing what it does every election year — working hard for our candidates. We have reached out to the NRSC, NRCC and RNC to ensure that our candidates have as much support as possible. The winds of change are blowing hard in Delaware and together we can take our state and country back. I will honor my commitment to our party’s grassroots activists and continue to serve as chairman of the Republican Party of Delaware.”

3. So your a teabagger

And now the GOP claims your team? WTF? What a bunch of turncoats. I thought you assholes were the TEABAGGERS! Don't Tread on ME! Don't retreat, Reload. LOL! I mean they always claim they are NOT Republicans. But they let the Sugar Daddy take care of them. What a movement. I've had better movements. LOL!

4. "Republicans came out in large numbers"

Oh, were they motivated! According to 2008 numbers (the latest I could find at the Delaware Commissioner of Elections website), there were 181,858 registered Republicans. O'Donnell beat Castle by 30,561-27,021, a total of 57,582 votes. Less than 32% for those of you scoring at home. There are about 98,000 more Democrats registered in Delaware than Republicans (279,916).

Again, O'Donnell won the primary with about one out of every six Republicans in Delaware voting for her. Still like her chances in November? Anyone willing to bet a $10 donation to DU on it?
