With 81% of districts reporting, O’Donnell is leading Castle 54% to 46%. In 2006, O’Donnell got 2,505 primary votes out of 14,386 cast. So far, she’s gotten 26,102 out of 48,312.
UPDATE: With 98% reporting, O’Donnell 53.2%, Castle 46.8%; she wins…Total turnout so far, 56,973.
UPDATE II: Just for comparison, the 2008 GOP Presidential primary, heavily contested between McCain, Romney and Huckabee had a turnout of 50,237. People in Delaware are on fire, it would seem.
UPDATE III: Rumor is that the NRSC will not back O’Donnell in the general election…meaning they won’t spend any money there. A monumentally stupid move by the NRSC. They don’t have to spend much, but they should make the bow to the party base which has chosen O’Donnell. This smacks of spite, if true.
