Christine O'Donnell beat Mike Castle, a nine-term U.S. representative, in Delaware’s Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. Mike Castle was, and still is the Republican establishments pick to run for that Senate seat. Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer both came out against her saying she’s unelectable, although I hold both of these men in high regard, I have to disagree with their stance.
If Christine O'Donnell won the nomination, and it was won because the voting body of the Republicans liked her message, (and not because of any Democrat intervention) then the Republican establishment should heed this signal, and embrace it for the good of the party, and also give her the support that she has earned. Even if she loses the Senate race it could still be a victory of sorts, if the Republican establishment listens to what these dissatisfied Republicans are trying to tell them.
