O'Donnell, elated after GOP Senate primary, eyes victory in November

To go off of Mariah's post, here is another story that discusses the win of Christine O'Donnell in the Delaware Republican primary. I think that this triumph just goes to show that the Tea Party movement is not just a bunch of radicals that don't appeal to the masses. Instead, they are potentially starting to have real influence on the Congress and the federal government as a whole. Chris Coons, the Democratic candidate for the Senate seat in Delaware is confident that he will beat O'Donnell, saying that he is running against an ideology rather than a solid political record. O'Donnell, instead of getting defensive, thanked Coons for the exposure to the Democrats that he gave her. It seems as if she may run into trouble with further campaigning since her candidacy is not backed by the national Republican party; however, she is receiving support from Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, and the Tea Party Express.
