As part of our continuing effort to “follow the tea” today we look at the Delaware Senate Race, with Democrat Chris Coons leading Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell by 15 points, 54% to 39% in a recent Fox News survey. That same survey asked about a hypothetical race between Democrat Coons and defeated Republican Mike Castle and it showed Castle with a 15 point lead over Coons. This was a race that the Dems had written off, figuring that they did not have a candidate that could beat Castle. Looks like they were right. But the Republican primary voters took care of that for them. If Republican lose control of the Senate by one vote then the O’Donnell nomination may come back into sharper focus. Maybe Karl Rove had this one right. O’Donnell’s new ad, where she denies being a “witch” is below. Great stuff.
