Four Reasons Chris Matthews is Worried...

...about an O'Donnell win in Delaware:

(1) She's raised over $1,000,000 in just over 24 hours.  Her new goal is $1.25M.  At the very least, she's going to force the DSCC to spend some money on the race.

(2) The national generic ballot picture is gloomy, and getting gloomier (and even gloomier?), for Democrats.

(3) Republican turnout for her primary win was exceedingly high, reflecting strong voter enthusiasm among Right-leaning Delaware voters--particularly in the state's two conservative-ish counties (Kent and Sussex).

(4) Another Northeastern Senate seat that was written off weeks ago due to the Democrat's perceived invincibility and the Republican's bizarre personal baggage has just been flipped to "toss-up" status by Charlie Cook.  The two races aren't entirely analogous, but conventional wisdom is shifting at warp speed this cycle.

Even if Castle stubbornly refuses to endorse the woman who beat him, he should at least stop amplifying attacks against her.  It's over, dude.
