I don't think Karl Rove's criticisms of Christine O'Donnell are fatal, although they are unusually personal.  Being seen as the enemy of Karl Rove may be a positive in a blue state like Delaware.No one now can argue that Christine O'Donnell wants to return us...

One of the talking points for why Christine O'Donnell would lose to Chris Coons was Coons' money advantage, something on the order of magnitude of $1 million to $20,000 cash on hand as of yesterday.That is one talking point which is disappearing before our eyes,...
