According to the News-Journal's blog, Christine O'Donnell has launched a write-in campaign for U.S. Senate. N-J:

A public relations specialist from Wilmington, she hopes to mobilize anti-abortion forces from all over the political spectrum. That means that in addition to Carper, who has won 11 straight elections since entering politics back in the days when disco ruled, O'Donnell is also trying to harvest votes from Republican challenger Jan Ting, a law professor and tax expert, and Libertarian Bill Morris.

Most insiders give O'Donnell no more than a slim chance to gather even 10 percent of the ballots cast, but in this country it's still okay to throw your hat in the ring no matter how the odds are stacked against you.

Now I have met Christine on several occasions, and I think she is very dedicated and very bright. However, rather than split the anti-Carper vote a third way, why not be a conservative write-in against Mike Castle?

Christine is a pro-life activist, and Castle's record on that issue is far from stellar in terms of pro-lifers. That seems like it would send a message to Castle at the very least.
