After the horror show that is Dan Maes and finding out about Christine O’Donnell’s understated facts, I think the Tea Party should let this one get sorted out at a local level.

In the meantime…viva la Joe DioGuardi and Ron Johnson! Kristen Gilbrand is going down AND YOU HEARD IT FROM HERE FIRST!

Thank you Daniel Loeb

So…yeah…I agree with Smitty agreeing with Dan.

The RNC is involved. “Scozzafava” is not a bug, it’s a feature….

The Gamepaln – short and sweet…

1. Stop the Dem Socialists first (if we miss & kill a Rino first oops \sarc)
2. Kill the RINOs
3. End the Obama Era (feels like eternity)
4. Repeal all the current congress’s crap – Obmacare, finacial take over, etc.
5. Repeal the 16th and 17th amendments
6. Add one amendment for overturning the supreme court decisons if 60% of Congress (Not Senate) say so…
Repeat 1&2 through eternity

She’s got Dan Riehl and Mark Levin on her side, and I’m sticking with those guys — no personal offense intended to anyone who disagrees.

None taken, and I agree Delaware Republicans need to look long and hard at the pluses and minuses of both candidates and pick the one they think can win in November. Both Riehl and Levin, while obviously partisan, are not fools.

I do think (but do not know) that Castle would have an easier time with the Democrat than O’Donnell would. But if O’Donnell can beat Castle in the primaries, he was not that strong to begin with. If Castle beats O’Donnell, he actually might be stronger in the general (provided he does not alienate O’Donnell supporters in the process).

I am a little worried about these negative stories about O’Donnell, but I am also worried that Castle is a RINO who could hurt us later on.

I have supported pretty much every GOP insurgent campaign for Senate this cycle, but I am on Ace’s side here and think O’Donnell is a menace. She has not shown that she is qualified for the Senate, and more importantly, I think it is very, very doubtful she can win, even in a wave year.

Delaware is a liberal state. It is not worth giving up a Senate seat in the fruitless pursuit of ideological perfection. A purple/red Sen. in a solid blue seat is a victory and the first step in making that state red.

And even if O’Donnell somehow pulled off a miracle and won the general, I do not think that her actions and history will lend credibility to the conservative cause. A bit like Ted Kennedy being the spokesman for liberalism.

Mistake?

Yes. The GOP should support candidates in the general elections, but stay the hell out of primaries.

And as for Christie, how do I put this, the beer goggles fell off when he got involved in the Cordoba Center and he just started to look like just another fat guy from Jersey.

If a loser in the primaries even hints at a Scozzafava, however, the GOP should make clear that candidate is dead to us.

Your not publishing “thats the rumor” posts ? I mean come on RS McCain , I thought that was what all the cool kids did .

If Delaware is that liberal a state then it’s lost to civilization anyway and whatever it sends to Washington will be unclean. I say kill the RINO, dare to be great, go for the conservative. There will be many risks that must be taken in order to overthrow the Bolsheviks, some will not break our way.

This is a PRIMARY. It is the one place where you CAN vote your conscience. It is the one place where you are SUPPOSED to vote your conscience. If you vote for someone you don’t approve of, you are voting not against the Democrats but against YOURSELF.

Layaway, vote your conscience. You are right.

Agree with the above: the purpose of a primary is to figure out who we’re supporting in the general election. It’s not to play nice with the other side, make lefties feel warm and fuzzy, or otherwise do anything but duke it out amongst ourselves.

Stacy may reject the proposition that Castle is more electable in the general, but I suspect that is wishful thinking. The evidence is otherwise – every poll shows Castle well ahead in the general, and O’Donnell well behind. Castle has a long record of statewide popularity and winning elections. Delaware has become a rather dark blue state in recent years. It all makes sense, and absent actual evidence to the contrary, I believe Rasmussen and the record.

But it’s not Castle or the dreaded “GOP Establishment” causing O’Donnell’s difficulties, it is the candidate herself.

OK, yes Castle is more likely to beat Coons than is O’Donnell. Probably 95-100% for Castle vs 30-50% probability for O’Donnell if Castle & co endorse her & don’t undermine her. The thing is, we don’t even get a half a loaf from Castle, unless you count the slim probability of his being the deciding vote between majority/minority status. Crumbs don’t do it! A decent shot at a full loaf of O’Donnell is better than 100% shot at crumbs.

Not only that, the positive impact of an O’Donnell win goes way beyond her voting against Cap n Trade, bailouts, etc etc. Think integrity of the brand. Think of other Rinos like the Maine ladies now needing to think twice on their votes. Think of the shock & awe PR in the ever so cutalicious face of Christy O. Beating Coons in this year is not the same as beating Biden in 08. Now, granted, her lack of any appreciable income last year is the one substantive point I’ve seen or heard that gives one pause. This other crap about her being crazy/paranoid is either overwrought or twisted. OTOH, there are worse things than having our very own younger, smarter, more articulate, prettier version of Boxer/Murray et al.
