I guess we'll know soon enough whether voters trust Coons more than O'Donnel to, more often than not, make the best choices for Delaware.

even if Castle was to the left of where they'd like him to be — they generally like him as a dude, and trusted him to make the best choice for Delaware more often than not.

People will focus on O’Donnell for obvious reasons. But I think the real story, and the point Rush and others were getting at is: The results tonight in Delaware are about Mike Castle. He had an R. after his name, but he might as well have been a Democrat. Voters want authenticity. That’s why Murkowski lost. That’s why Castle lost.

Yes. The Republican establishment should get the message: Voters want a U-turn election. They are in no mood to make deals with RINOs just to get the numbers. As far as they are concerned, having the numbers without the principles is exactly what got us into this trouble in the first place.

I'm glad she won even though it is likely to cost Republicans the seat. The Republican establishment needs a good scare.

The GOP will make gains,l but I assure you the voters are just as unhappy with the Republicans as they are with the Dems.

Take a look at this amazing video of Huey Long describing DC when he became Senator.
