Back in February, after attending an early Coons get together, I wrote,
4) I was a little surprised by this one: Coons’ campaign manager thinks that Christine O’Donnell will ramp up her primary campaign since Biden has dropped out. The campaign is pretty sure that O’Donnell will try to tap into simmering teabag anger and will be a factor bleeding off (possibly) 10% of Castle’s support. I don’t see any signs that O’Donnell has a campaign, so I’m not optimistic about that.
Well that was on the mark. Even though O’Donnell has collapsed under the enormous weight of a teeny tiny bit of scrutiny, she still ramped up her campaign enough to clip 10% from Castle’s eventual total.
