Rush Limbaugh has a question for the Democratic Party: If tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell is supposedly guaranteed to lose her race for a U.S. Senate seat from Delaware, why spend a lot of money to defeat her?
"Why are the Democrats in the Senate spending more money on negative ads against Christine O'Donnell? I mean why? Why are they doing this? If she is a sure, certain loser, why are they doing this?" Limbaugh asked Tuesday during his radio show.
"Can the Republican ruling class explain this to me? Can the Republican ruling class explain to me, all of you who the only hope here was Mike Castle, the only hope for 51 seats was Mike Castle, somebody explain to me why the Democrats are spending so much more money than they planned on in Delaware against a sure loser like Christine O'Donnell?"
O'Donnell defeated Castle earlier this month to become the GOP nominee. She will face Democratic nominee Chris Coons in November.
