media: the tea party hurt Delaware Republicans' chance to win by helping a horrible candidate, Christine O'Donnell get the nomination against Chris Coons. Furthermore that she was destroyed in the election.
Facts: from exit polls
O'donnell won the white vote (71%) 51- 45
she won Seniors (17%) 55 - 44
she only lost men (48%) 45 -51
she only lost independents (27%) 45-48
The fact is she lost because Delaware is a Democratic state with 22% black vote that went 93% for the Democrat.
It is correct to say that the Tea Party defeat of Mike Castle, a so-called moderate Republican changed the dynamics from a tossup to a strongly leaning Democrat race. But if you're a Republican why would you want to vote for a person who is moderate in a wave election?
