The path to a Republican Senate takeover narrowed to the point of vanishing Tuesday night, as marketing consultant Christine O’Donnell upset Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware’s Senate primary and likely dashed the GOP’s hopes of capturing the seat in the process.
Though six other states and the District of Columbia voted in primary elections Tuesday night, the outcome in Delaware had by far the most profound implications for the fall campaign. While Castle was comfortably on track to capture Vice President Joe Biden’s former Senate seat, O’Donnell will enter the general election at a wide disadvantage to the presumptive Democratic nominee, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons.
O’Donnell was written off early in the race against Castle, dismissed by members of both parties as a perennial candidate with a history of embarrassing personal financial problems. But a late endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, reinforced by hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of independent spending from the conservative Tea Party Express, vaulted her into the lead.

- You're missing the point, this one election probably lets Democrats keep control of the Senate for the next two yearsukit
- All thanks to Palin and the "tea party"...:)ukit
- you think O'donnell will swing left?
a teabagger will vote w/the 'right' nearly 100% of the timePonyBoy - No, O'Donnell will now lose to the Democrat. Delaware is a liberal state, the only reason Republicans had a chance is because this Mike Castle guy is well known and popular thereukit
