Gay Baiting Tea Party Candidate Christine O'Donnell Wins in Delaware

Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell on Tuesday defeated Rep. Mike Castle in the Republican primary for vice president Joseph Biden's former Senate seat in Delaware.

O'Donnell's win complicates the GOP's chances of recapturing a majority in the Senate — O'Donnell is seen as a long shot at prevailing in November against Democratic nominee Chris Coons, a state executive. O'Donnell is a far right candidate who has made stances against masturbation and pornography. At one point, O'Donnell's campaign worked with a firm that circulated a video highlighting a rumor that Castle was cheating on his wife with a man. 

O'Donnell was endorsed by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

Aside from Delaware, primaries took place on Tuesday in New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
