Waiiiit, Which Party are we Talking About?

Last night in the Delaware Senate primary, the outside-the-CW candidate surged to defeat the establishment candidate, deciding that principals were more important than winning. This race could easily cost the party the majority in the Senate in the November's elections.

SHOCKINGLY, we're not talking about the Democrats! The Tea Party candidate, Christine O'Donnell came from behind to beat Mike Castle, who has held elected office in Delaware since 1966. Castle, a moderate Republican who has been able to win statewide office in the face of nationwide Republican losses, was seen as a sure win for the Delaware Senate seat last won by VP Joe Biden. Exit polling from yesterday's election reports that 44% of Castle voters yesterday would rather vote for the Democratic candidate, Chris Coons than O'Donnell.

It was a great night, and I just saw that Harry Reid and Lady Gaga had a little Twitter conversation yesterday, so everything's awesome.
