With Christine O'Donnell's win last night, the GOP's hopes at gaining back the Senate went from slight to virtually nonexistent. I've stated many times on this site that moving further to the right doesn't get them anywhere with independents. This is especially true for a very blue state like Delaware. It may even be true for a red state like Nevada. If you don't want to take my word for it, how about this guy?
Former George W. Bush political adviser Karl Rove told Fox News Channel, "This is not a race we're going to be able to win."
If he says it, what does that say about the current state of the GOP?
This was left in comments recently.
After O'Donnell's big win last night, I think both Dems and Repubes should be deathly afraid. The Tea Party has spoken.
Well, GOP stalwarts should be afraid. The Dems? Maybe in tossup states like Colorado or Wisconsin. But Delaware? I don't think so. This was a primary, folks, with only 55,000 people turning out. 29,000 of them voted for O'Donnell. In many ways, this was a glorified nominating convention. With the national GOP not spending any money on this state, Ms. O'Donnell is going to have a tough time winning in a general. Explaining her views on abortion and masturbation will be even tougher.
In fact, we already know how she would do in a general...poorly. She was the party nominee in 2008 and lost to Joe Biden (260,000 to 140,000). So, deathly afraid? Not so much.
All eyes should be on the House now. With so little polling and many Tea Party candidates vying for seats, it's certainly going to be an interesting 48 days!

Funny that you should suddenly accept the wisdom of Rove. He never cared about what people believed/wanted as long as it led to party power.
I am so fed up with career politicians that I think some of these fruitcakes might just be healthy - shaking things up. Worst case, every establishment politician spends all their time trying to contain them.
Hey Markadelphia - try telling us all the great things about her opponent for once.
Chris Coons is a pretty decent guy from what I have seen so far. He's very down to earth, serious and soft spoken. Delaware is a very liberal to left of center state so his stand on the issues and his demeanor will play quite well.
Thanks for letting us know his stance on the issues.
l i l, what part of he's a liberal Dem, so of course he's okay didn't you get?
Are you really referring to her comments on MTV 20 years ago Markadelphia? Are conservatives allowed to modify their views like you give yourself a pass to do when you call it "evolution of thought"?
