>>>
>>> O’Donnell’s victory almost certainly hands the general election to New

>>> Had he survived the primary, Castle, a former governor and longtime

>>> the conservative movement in the Northeast, a region where Republicans must
>>> make substantial gains to reclaim majorities in the House or Senate. And in

>>>
>>> Democrats delighted in the defeat of another establishment-backed

>>> “Delaware Republicans chose an ultra-right wing extremist who is out of

>>> O’Donnell is ‘not a viable candidate for any office in the state of
>>> Delaware,’ and ‘could not be elected dog catcher.’”
>>>
>>> The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which had vigorously
>>> supported Castle, released a one-sentence statement in reaction to
>>> O’Donnell’s victory.
>>>
>>> “We congratulate Christine O’Donnell for her nomination this evening
>>> after a hard-fought primary campaign in Delaware,” NRSC Executive Director
>>> Rob Jesmer said.
>>>
>>> O’Donnell and her tea party supporters knocked Castle earlier in the week
>>> as “King RINO, the most liberal GOP member of Congress.”

>>> “We have gone all in,” Tea Party Express spokesman Levi Russell said
>>> before polls closed Tuesday. The group is an arm of the national movement
>>> and sent a team to Delaware for about a week, organizing rallies, phone
>>> banking and spending as much as $250,000 to help O’Donnell. “We think we’ve

>>>
>>> But in a state where less than 30 percent of voters are registered
>>> Republicans, the Delaware GOP waged all-out war against O’Donnell and the
>>> tea party in recent days. After repeated accusations that O’Donnell was
>>> dishonest on the campaign trail and irresponsible in her personal finances,
>>> the state party disseminated an eleventh-hour robocall Tuesday featuring
>>> former O’Donnell campaign manager Kristin Murray.
>>>
>>> “As O’Donnell’s manager, I found out she was living on campaign
