The Castle defeat is not complicated. As a career politician, someone who received a government paycheck his entire career, Castle attacks O'Donnell, a person that most can Identify with, for having financial problems. He does this during a recession, an explosion of government debt and government growth. Castle, a real man of genius, he earned his defeat.
Now the established national Republican party is making a similar mistake. The establishment has two choices, adapt or get defeated. It is not going to be a contest, it is not going to destroy the Republican Party, it is simply time for change. This "movement" is serious and has been from the begining. At first, people wanted to dismiss it, then minimize it, then say it is ruled by extremists, then say it was fake, then say it is racist, then say it will destroy the Republican Party, and I guess next they will say Tea Party candidates can't win general elections and be proven wrong yet again.
Ironically, Palin became governor of Alaska by defeating the Republican Party establishment.
