Tea Party Candidate Captures GOP Nomination in Delaware

Tea Party Candidate Captures GOP Nomination in DelawareWASHINGTON (AP) – Virtually unknown a month ago, Christine O’Donnell of Delaware rode a surge of support from tea party activists to victory in the Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, dealing yet another setback to the GOP establishment in a campaign season full of them. A second upstart led for the GOP nomination in New Hampshire.

O’Donnell defeated Rep. Mike Castle, a fixture in Delaware politics for a generation who campaigned with the strong backing of party officials in his state and in Washington. Nearly complete returns showed her with 53 percent of the vote.

Democrats rejoiced along with her supporters.

Despite her win, O’Donnell will enter the fall campaign as an underdog to Chris Coons, a county executive who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Republican officials said as the votes were being counted the party would not come to her aid if she won the primary, citing a string of disclosures about her personal finances and other matters. The state party chairman, Tom Ross, said recently she “could not be elected dogcatcher.”

In New Hampshire, lawyer Ovide Lamontagne led former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, 45 percent to 35 percent, with votes counted from 18 percent of the precincts.

A former chairman of the state Board of Education, Lamontagne campaigned with the support of tea party activists, while Ayotte had a coalition of establishment Republicans, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and other conservatives.

Democratic New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch rolled to renomination for a fourth term, and he will face John Stephen, a former state health commissioner who won the GOP line on the ballot easily.

In New York, 40-year veteran Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel faced the voters for the first time since the House ethics committee accused him of 13 violations, most of them relating to his personal finances.

In all, five states chose nominees for the Senate, and six more had gubernatorial hopefuls on primary ballots. The winners had scant time to refocus their energies for midterm elections on Nov. 2.

So far this year, seven incumbent members of Congress have tasted defeat, four Republicans and three Democrats. And that does not include a lengthy list of GOP contenders who fell to tea party-supported challengers despite having the backing of party officials eager to maximize their gains in November.

With unemployment high and President Barack Obama’s popularity below 50 percent, Republicans said the primaries reflected an enthusiasm that would serve the party well in the fall, when control of Congress will be at stake.

Democrats, however, said the presence of tea party-supported Republicans would prove costly to the GOP on Nov. 2 — a proposition that remained to be tested in seven weeks’ time.

In Delaware, O’Donnell captured the Republican nomination for a Senate seat held for 36 years by Vice President Joe Biden. The race turned took a sharp turn for the negative three weeks ago after the Tea Party Express announced it would come to her aid.

Castle, a former two-term governor and a veteran of nearly two decades in the House, was repeatedly assailed as a liberal, a Republican in name only. He and the party responded by challenging O‘Donnell’s fitness for public office, and records surfaced showing that the IRS had once slapped a lien against her and that her house had been headed for foreclosure.

In an extraordinary move, the state Republican Party began automated phone calls attacking O‘Donnell in the campaign’s final hours. The calls featured the voice of a woman who identified herself as Kristin Murray, O‘Donnell’s campaign manager in her 2008 unsuccessful Senate campaign, accusing the candidate of “living on campaign donations — using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt.”

While Republicans brawled, Coons, executive of New Castle County, coasted to the Democratic nomination without opposition. Biden resigned the seat in early 2009, and his successor, Democratic Sen. Ted Kaufman, pledged not to run for a full term.

Republicans in New Hampshire sorted through a crowded field of candidates for the nomination to a seat long held by retiring GOP Sen. Judd Gregg.

The winner will face Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes, who is giving up his seat in the House to run for the Senate.

Republicans must gain 10 seats this fall if they are to win control of the Senate, and their chances count heavily on their ability to prevail in both Delaware and New Hampshire.

In Wisconsin, businessman Ron Johnson defeated two minor opponents for the Republican nomination to oppose three-term Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold in November in what polls show is a tight race. Johnson has said he will spend millions of his own money to finance his campaign through Election Day.

In New York, Democratic Attorney General Andrew Cuomo faced no opposition for the party’s nomination for governor, and he will be the prohibitive favorite in the fall for an office his father held for three terms.

Former Rep. Rick Lazio vied with political novice Carl Paladino, a wealthy developer who got tea party support, for the Republican nomination.

The state’s new electronic voting machines made their debut, and there were scattered reports of problems that resulted in delays and long lines.

In Maryland, former Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich won the nomination for a rematch against the man who ousted him from office in 2006, Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley.

Besides Rhode Island and New Hampshire, there were gubernatorial nomination contests in Massachusetts and Wisconsin, where Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker collided with former Rep. Mark Neumann for the Republican line on the fall ballot. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett won the Democratic nomination.

Rangel’s principal challenger for the nomination in his Harlem-based district was Adam Clayton Powell IV, a state assemblyman whose father Rangel defeated 40 years ago. In the decades since, Rangel rose to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, with enormous power over taxes, trade, Medicare and more, but Democrats forced him to step aside from that panel while he battles ethics charges.

He is accused of accepting several New York City rent-stabilized apartments, and omitting information on his financial disclosure forms. He’s also accused of failing to pay taxes from a rental property in the Dominican Republic, and improperly soliciting money for a college center to be named after him. He has vowed to fight the charges, and faces an ethics committee trial, possibly after the elections.

A second New York Democratic incumbent, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, also faced a strong primary challenge.

Rhode Island had a rare open seat in its two-member House delegation, following the decision of Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy to retire. Providence Mayor David Cicilline, who is openly gay, was favored over three rivals for the Democratic nomination.

    This is guaranteed. Democrats, Republicans and our mainstream media will be after O’Donnell. She won her primary now we MUST stand behind her, support her and make sure she wins in November.

    Readers, get out there and start blogging anywhere and everywhere. We won a battle, we are not to lose this war. Go out on the web to political blogs every chance possible and present firm but fair arguments in favor of Christine O’Donnell. We cannot drop our guard, a liberal storm is gathering.

    I am glad Christine won. I listened to Rush today give an analysis about how the general election will go if she wins tonight and it was brilliant, as usual. He said that she won 35% of the vote in 2008 against Biden, during the peak of the Democrat surge and Biden being on the national ticket as VP candidate and she only spent about $160,000 to Biden’s 4.1 million. McCain got about 37% of the vote in Delaware. It is not a given that she will lose: Republicans are building towards a juggernaut, the Tea Party is now officially a force to be reckoned with and she has 2 stars of the Conservative movement behind her as well as a majority of talk radio.

He could not be counted on just like Snowe and some of the other RINO’s. Get rid of them ALL. I‘ll take my chances on an unknown EVERYDAY before I’ll vote again for a RINO so we can “win”.

      I would have to agree with the Democratics on one thing. The Republicans did drive the Bus into the ditch. This is where everything changed. Neither party nor the news media understands what is going on; well let me see if I can explain it to you.

      Listen Up Washington!

      WE THE PEOPLE were on that Bus providing for the good of Family and Nation. When the Bus went off the road you got our attention! WE THE PEOPLE Got Up! We Defended that Bus from the Vicious Progressive Piranha. Now it is almost November and you have the audacity to tell the People to “Step aside, we’ll take it from here” are you kidding me?

      Everybody has an agenda!

      The agenda for WE THE PEOPLE is Liberty, Freedom, God, Family, Honor, and Integrity.
      It’s that simple! Get it or go home!

      Apparent to me that the Republican party isn’t concerned about labels. As conservatives we’ll call you out when you fail to answer appropriate questions and stand with you for the truth regardless of party affiliation.

      I have only been on this site for a couple of days and I see a very distinct pattern. For a lot of the new stories that break this DANGLINGBAGS guy is the first to chime in. when that happens all the people that actually care about the direction of this Country spend the next several hours defending our reasoning to this poor guy. It’s a complete waste of time.
      He wants’ us wasting time. He is a self proclaimed liberal progressive and his mind can’t be changed through conversation. You have as much of a chance of changing his mind as he has of changing ours. Let’s move on…..

      dont worry about db, he changes from lib to conser on every story he posts on. He is an agitator and thats all he has going. I guess if i went through life a victim i would want to lash out also. i have a lot of sympathy for him. to quote a line from a movie ” Fat, Drunk, and Stupid is no way to go through Life”. We should all pray for him. As far as responding to his ravings or trying to defend our ideas, save your breath. once the rot has set in you cant help him. the best way to answer him is through prayer.

      Oooo .. all Fear the Liberal Progressive’s .. NOT .. I cant stand either party , and I dont know which is worse at this point .. Liberals talking nonsense , or Karl Rove stabbing a fellow GOP member in the back .. `grabs the popcorn` its gonna be a HELL of a show .. Long Live the Tea Party .. of course I don’t support either party , I support people , less government , traditional values , less taxes and telling the truth .. which the current administration and congress lack .. and have lacked for ages .
