Castle Planning To Go Negative On O'Donnell
Rep. Mike Castle (R) is gearing up for battle in Delaware: He is planning to air negative ads on his GOP primary opponent Christine O'Donnell.
"We're not just going to sit by and let her destroy Mike Castle," a Castle campaign source told Hotline On Call.
Hotline On Call reported that Castle has purchased about $180K worth of air time from Aug. 31 to Sept. 6.
The campaign says that, at this point, it is not planning to air the negative ads during that time span, but it could change its mind. The campaign is currently making the ads. Castle is planning on staying on air through the primary. So, it sounds like he'll go negative the week before the primary -- Sept. 7 through primary day on Sept. 14.
Castle is preparing for what looks like it will be an onslaught of ads from the Tea Party Express in support of O'Donnell. The group, which backed Joe Miller in his upset of Lisa Murkowski (R) in AK SEN last week, is vowing to spend at least $250K on this airing ads in Delaware. Chris Good at The Atlantic got his hands on one of the ads, but, as of now, the Tea Party Express has not aired it.
Other Republicans are also going after O'Donnell. The Delaware GOP has been releasing statements against her all week and went up with a new website -- www.RealChristine.com -- on Thursday.
I love Christine! She is a wonderfully ARTICULATE, REAL Reagan Conservative. She is RIGHT ON about the issues that matter to us. I wish I lived in DE at this moment in time! If I could i'd be her campaign cheerleader & spokeswoman! We cannot thank Mark Levin enough for doing what he does best: Promoting the right person, right NOW!---> The conservative Tea party is just keeps on rising like a phoenix! Many of us will be PRAYING for her VICTORY on September 14th!! --> Go Christine! Thank God for Mark Levin too! We're WITH YOU all the way!
