of a mess for republicans. absolutely, candy. the ground may still actually be shaking in delaware. i mean, just a few weeks ago, christine o donnell was far less known than she is right now. and she was badly trailing congressman mike castle in the polls. but in a few short weeks she gained ground, and now she clinched this victory. i definitely credit her own campaigning, but sarah palin and the tea party express. they went in there with palin s backing, sending people out, spending money. she s claiming victory now. and shannon, up in new hampshire, we re not really sure who is going to win that one. it s very, very close. any chance we ll get some sort of decision later today? yeah. we re not really sure when that decision will actually come out. it s too close to call right now. but there you have a little bit of a different dynamic. you have the favorite of the local tea party groups there
assume you ll argue these are not right wing extremists who have been nominated. but perception is a lot in politics. and don t you all at this point have a perception problem with some of your candidates? well, look candy, there s a party that has a problem out there today. and frankly, it s it s the democratic party on capitol hill. and it s this administration. the american people are tired of the borrowing and the spending and the bailouts and the takeovers. and they re looking for men and women all over the country that are willing to come to washington, d.c. and reign in this federal government. you know, christine o donnell ran a competitive primary, won yesterday. and you know, i have every confidence that upbeat positive mainstream conservative message you saw her delivering this morning here on cnn that she delivered all over delaware is going to continue to resinate. and, you know, for those that are willing to write off this race now.

official, meet our gop opponent christine o donnell. it s hard to figure out whose website this is. they re looking forward to this race all of a sudden. yeah. i think there s a note of glee in that. and there certainly was a real tone of glee in the kind of barrage of press releases the democrats were sending out last night. really kind of triumphant about this. i think there was a feeling that the u.s. senate, control of the senate was on the cusp. democrats were starting for a while felt they were likely to lose the house and starting to think recently, we might lose the senate. with last night results in delaware and possibly new hampshire where you may have an insurgent tea party candidate win. even carl rove now at this point saying republican takeover of the senate have probably slunk dramatically. yes, they re very happy about it. and kate, that s likely because there are there are republicans who are nervous about this crop of tea party candidates. candy and i were talki
