Flashback: Ben Smith at Politico Initially Said 40% for Christine O'Donnell Was Good News for Governor Palin

Here is a flashback to what Ben Smith from Politico wrote about what Christine O'Donnell's performance meant for Governor Palin back in September:So I'd say that if O'Donnell breaks 40 percent, that's enough to give encouragement to a Palin bid, and it would take a really substantial wipeout to make a plausibly discouraging case.As of right now, O'Donnell is breaking that 40% mark, not far off from the 43% that exit polls showed Mike Castle would receive in a deep blue state like Delaware. Given that Delaware is ten points to the left nationally, O'Donnell and Coons would be tied in a hypothetical national contest.
