I suspect it has nothing to do with her being stupid and/or crazy and/or whatever, if that's what you're implying. It probably doesn't even have as much to do with the fact that Castle would have been a shoo-in had he won the nomination as it does with the fact that Castle was the establishment GOP guy and the establishment GOP is pretty butthurt right about now.

If that was the sole reasoning, The GOP would be giving her a little love right by now because they'd rather have a GOP candidate in there over a Democrat. They're not. They want nothing to do with O'Donnell and from what I've seen, it's one of the more cogent decisions the GOP has made in recent years.

I disagree. It seems probable that they would rather lose one election than lose their own party to people who aren't beholden to them.
