Can the Tea Party take Delaware?

One can understand why this would be a fair question. After all, we just saw a popular Republican, Lisa Murkowski, get taken down by the Tea Party. It was all vey unexpected, until you realize that it seems like the Republicans are purging all their moderates. Now the Party wants to do it again, by securing the nomination of a lady by the name of Christine O'Donnell. This is not Ms. O'Donnell's first rodeo: in 2008, she won the nomination to take on Joe Biden. A newbie taking on a popular senator? Do you need those particular results? She was defeated, and constantly plagued by money troubles while campaigning. She was cited eight times for her seeming lack of ability to send in reports on her contributions., and she still owes people money from 2008. The Tea Party, when asked about these debts, said that when they endorsed her, they had no idea. Why wouldn't you? You'd think they'd look before they start namining names, right? Now, the fact that she wasn't doing her job, those forms, makes me nervous about if she will do her job if elected. Also, if she's in debt herself, she shouldn't be complaining about the federal deficit. As Confusius would've said, don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof if you have snow on your step. The Tea Party might have a difficult time with her nomination, because independants will be unable to vote, and registration to vote has ended in Deleware. You want my opinion? If Ms. O'Donnell picks up the nomination, the seat will go Democrat. With the current wave of anger, I will say she'll lose somewhere between 5and 7 points.
