Chris Coons’ Statement on Christine O’Donnell Winning

the Delaware GOP nomination for U.S. Senate

New Castle County Executive Chris Coons, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Delaware, released the following statement Tuesday regarding the results of the Republican primary:

"The results tonight make one thing perfectly clear - the Republican
party is purging itself of moderate voices and embracing the radical. I
thank Mike Castle for his years of service to the people of Delaware and
ask that his supporters embrace my campaign as a way to continue
Delaware's tradition of electing moderate, independent voices to the
United States Senate."

"Delawareans need a U.S. Senator focused on creating jobs, not
promoting bizarre conspiracy theories and an extreme social agenda.
Every leading Delaware Republican knows that Christine O'Donnell is way
out of the mainstream. I look forward to voters comparing my private and
public sector experience of reforming government, creating jobs and
fiscal accountability, against Ms. O'Donnell's out-of-touch and
dangerous agenda that would hurt Delaware's working families."
