PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS HQ UPDATE: O’DONNELL WINS!

Posted on | September 14, 2010 | 145 Comments

States:

Delaware

DOVER, Delaware
UPDATE 10:40 p.m. ET — In an impr0mptu press conference following her victory speech, Christine O’Donnell was asked about reports that those treacherous bastards at the NRSC won’t support her campaign, and replied far more graciously than I would have: “For the greater good, we’re putting this [e.g., Castle’s smear campaign] behind us,” she said. “Together, we can win.”

UPDATE 9:25 p.m. — It’s a real celebration here now. The music right now is deafening: U2’s “Beautiful Day.” Here’s video of earlier, when the first results were reported on TV:

UPDATE 9 p.m. Christine O’Donnell has won the Delaware GOP Senate primary, defeating Mike Castle, Allahpundit, Charles Krauthammer, and Jim Geraghty.  With 75% of precincts reporting, O’Donnell leads 53%-46%. Dan Riehl is reportedly offering pudding to Ace of Spades. The DJ here is playing Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion.”

UPDATE 8:34 p..m. –Cheers of “Go, Christine!” here at the Elks Lodge that is O’Donnell HQ, as she leads with 55% to 45% for that worthless RINO with 14% of precincts reporting.

PREVIOUSLY: I’m at Christine O’Donnell campaign victory headquarters at the Elks Lodge. No fewer than seven TV satellite trucks are in the parking lot. I’m seated at the press table between Alex Pappas of the Daily Caller and Robert Costa of the RINO-endorsing National Review.

    Kelly: I don’t think so. The Miller/Murky primary was so close, the National Republican Screwup Council could Marx Brothers their way into supporting Murky and trying to steal the primary via shenanigans; Castle got beat down HARD. There’s really no way they can say, “We’re ceding this Republican Senate seat to the Democrats because we don’t think the candidate will win…” and keep any credibility at all.

    While everyone is celebrating, let me bring your attention to the New York Senate Republican Primary. In a 3 way race Joe DioGuardi, on the conservative ticket is beating both republican party candidates and absolutely shellacking Party candidate Bruce Blakeman. This is for the opportunity to take on Kirsten Gillibrand who remains a very weak candidate. Polling below 50% and flipping on key republican issues. Most notable the 2nd Amendment. The right candidate can unite the conservative and tea party base while getting a minority of republicans to plug their nose and go a long.

    You can follow the action at the link…

    And now the GOP has decided to throw a tantrum and no money toward O’Donnell’s continuing campaign.

    Sort of surprised, but what would’ve the NRSC/GOP donated? Their coffers have been pretty lean lately with the American voter generally circumventing traditional funding channels.

    The establishment GOP must be crapping bricks right along with the Democrats about now. I know Karl Rove was and he seemed about as angry as he’s ever been on Hannity WRT conservatives winning a race. The “moderating wing” of the GOP – which is to say the liberal wing – is getting a comeuppance for inviting statism. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

Demint stuck his neck out a little on this one and I’m sure he can anticipate the sweetness of a successful O’Donnell candidacy. Let the counter revolution begin. And while we’re on that subject Michell Bachmann for Speaker.
