Krauthammer applies the Buckley rule

It would be a shame to leave our discussion of the Republican Senate primary contest between Mike Castle and Christine O’Donnell without noting Charles Krauthammer’s column applying the Buckley rule to it. The Buckley rule supplied the lodestone of our analysis, as it does Krauthammer’s. Krauthammer’s application of it to the Delaware primary is somewhat more vehement than ours, but he concludes on a note similar to ours: “I would be happy to be proved wrong about O’Donnell’s electability — I want Republicans to win that 51st seat.” He urges O’Donnell’s Tea Party supporters to “[s]tay in Delaware and show us you were right. The beaches are said to be lovely in the fall.”
