New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has weighed in on Christine O'Donnell's loss in Delaware. He believes Mike Castle would have been a better choice for the GOP, despite his poor numbers in the Republican primary.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says the Senate race in Delaware was “a missed opportunity” for his fellow Republicans to pick up the seat long held by Democrat Joe Biden.
Tea party favorite Christine O’Donnell won the GOP nomination in an upset over moderate Rep. Mike Castle. But she lost the general election Tuesday to Democrat Chris Coons. Christie says he was proud to have endorsed Castle….Christie told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “I think Delaware was a missed opportunity to have a really good U.S. senator.”
What is a really good Senator? More of the status quo? O'Donnell proved she knew the United States Constitution and was willing to push for the Federal Government to be restrained by its limits. I guess in Governor Christie's world that is a strike against you. It further points out what the established GOP thinks about the TEA Party and Constitutional Conservatives. The GOP doesn't want to give up its federal power either.
