This is the result of Tea Party Express's Our Country Deserves Better <sic> campaign to get beauts like O'Donnell on the ballot:

The state GOP chairman, Tom Ross, for his part, was downright hostile to O’Donnell and the outside groups that got behind her. Ross repeatedly called O’Donnell a “perennial candidate” with no real ties to Delaware, and later commented that she “could not be elected dogcatcher.”
That fact that O’Donnell has now secured the GOP nomination presents an awkward problem for the Republican candidate and her state party, which had vowed not to help her should she win. O’Donnell will likely continue to receive aid from enthusiastic outside conservative groups, but will face an uphill battle in convincing mainstream organizations that she has a real shot at attracting independent or even moderate Republican votes.
Democrats, for their part, have a whole trove of opposition research against O’Donnell, found by Republican operatives who tried to discredit her campaign. Just yesterday, a former O’Donnell aide, Kristin Murray, recorded a robocall that labeled her “a complete fraud.”
“This is her third Senate race in five years. As O’Donnell’s manager, I found out she was living on campaign donations — using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt,” Murray said. “She wasn’t concerned about conservative causes. O’Donnell just wanted to make a buck.”
