Tea Party's O'Donnell criticizes GOP for "nasty campaign"
By Shane D'Aprile - 09/13/10 06:00 AM ET


WILMINGTON, Del. -- Tea Party-backed Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell laid into her opponent, as well as the Delaware and national Republican Party Sunday night, for running "a negative and nasty campaign" against her.

"My opponent knows this race has serious national implications and they're scared," O'Donnell said. "They went too negative, too quickly. That's what I've been hearing from voters all day today."

Unlike Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who was shocked by Tea Party-backed Joe Miller's win in that state's Republican primary, Castle has used his financial edge to attempt to define O'Donnell, running TV and radio ads hitting her on everything from her tax issues to unsettled debt from prior campaigns.

The state Republican Party also has hammered O'Donnell constantly for the past two weeks, with party chairman Tom Ross calling her unelectable.

It's turned Delaware's Senate contest into one of the nastiest of the primary season so far, and created a dynamic unseen in previous contested primaries this cycle, where the party establishment in the state has taken the leading role in openly slamming the Tea Party-backed candidate.
