Leading conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer has rebuked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) for making the “irresponsible” choice of endorsing Christine O’Donnell over Rep. Mike Castle in the Delaware GOP Senate primary.
“The Palin endorsement, I think, is disruptive and capricious,” Krauthammer said Monday night on Fox News’ “Special Report.” “Bill Buckley had a rule that he always supported the most conservative candidate who was electable, otherwise the vote is simply self-indulgence.”
Palin has weighed in heavily in the race, cutting robocalls for O’Donnell that have been bombarding the state’s GOP voters, who head to the polls Tuesday.
“Delaware is not Alaska,” Krauthammer said of the state’s former Republican governor. “In Alaska you can endorse a Joe Miller, whose going to win anyway though he’s more conservative. In Delaware, O’Donnell is going to lose and that could be the difference between Republican and Democratic control” of the Senate.
When Fox anchor Bret Baier pointed out the DeMint has also endorsed O’Donnell, Krauthammer branded the senator’s move “equally capricious and irresponsible.”
“I'm not sexist on this,” the conservative columnist said. “It's a big mistake. Mike Castle is a shoo-in. He wins. O’Donnell is very problematic. She probably will lose.”
Castle was expected to be able to beat his Democrat opponent, O'Donnell is 28 points behind the Democrat opponent according to the latest polls. (But what are polls? 1000 people across the state share their opinion. Means nothing. Having said that...I don't really care for O'Donnell, myself! What in the world is wrong with masturbation? Better that than having sex and having an unwanted baby or getting an STD.)
