From Fox News this evening:
Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell, a perennial candidate with no government experience, soundly defeated veteran politician Mike Castle for the Republican Senate nomination in Delaware Tuesday -- posing a major upset to the political establishment on the last big day of primaries.
With all precincts reporting, O'Donnell beat Castle 53-47 percent.
O'Donnell's win stands as the latest sign of Tea Party strength but also the latest test of whether that movement helps or hinders the Republican Party, with an open seat and perhaps a GOP Senate majority at stake.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a terse statement congratulating O'Donnell for her nomination "after a hard-fought primary campaign."
Hmmm...will be interesting to see just how down-and-dirty the Democrats will be willing to get to hold on to the seat recently occupied by Joe Biden. BTW, it's not the 'Biden Seat'. It belongs to the voters of Delaware. O'Donnell can likely win if she reminds her constituents of that one simple fact.
