Yeah, that is kind of a joke.

I'm going to take a wild guess here that Castle lost.

Shame. I actually liked him. Do you like Castle too jh or are you just upset since this pretty much guarantees a loss in november?

$#@! YOU

Seriously. This is insane.

Foxnews.com and Newsjournal.com reporting O'Donnell ahead. Is there a good site for tabulated results?

Does Castle run as an independent?

The guy who follows this for Cook says it's over

The Delaware Sec State site crashed

She's up 10 or so with 65% in, which is impossible to overcome and impossible to fathom

Delaware Online seems pretty up to date

the idea she might win the general just crossed my mind and now I'm horrified.

Last minute robocalls from jilted campaign worker backfired.

I'm going to hobble out on a limb the size of the state of Delaware and say the last minute robocalls had no effect on the outcome of the race

Coons will beat her by 15 points. The only way he doesn't is if Castle runs as an independent. She will be destroyed by then. I know alot of good thinking Delaware Republicans who think she is a joke.

Not enough to win beat her in a primary apparently.

The Delaware State GOP Chairman called her a delusional liar. This is going to be a wild 7 weeks.

SQUIRE

I wonder if Castle can run as an independent. Haven't read anything to that effect, has anyone else?

There's no harm in him trying.

I thought I heard O'Donnell float that idea but boy it seems kinda late. I think Coons still wins a 3 way race unless Castle can really, really discredit her in the next 7 weeks.

CNN.com calls it for O'Donnell

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:16:18

Ayotte's in a lot of trouble in NH too

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:19:23

God you see this happen and the mind reels that John McCain won his primary so easily

JD Hayworth sucks, but O'Donnell is an order of magnitude worse

by **TenuredVulture** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:22:56

Rank and file of a certain political party seem to have gone crazy. Might as well blame this on Bush too.

by **Squire** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:26:00

Another guy who is pissed right now is Beau Biden. This was going to be his Senate seat but given the tide on the right he didn't think he could beat Castle and the party convinced County Executive Chris Coons to be the candidate. Coons could be in the U.S. Senate for 25 years.

Blame McCain for picking Palin and creating a monster at the same time.

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:33:42

For the most part it's a good monster. Without it we're not sweeping the House like whoa.

by **CalvinBall** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 21:35:46
