Delaware Fever: Catch It!

OK, how crazy has the Delaware GOP Senate primary gotten? Crazy enough that it prompted one ill-informed reader to send Michelle Malkin an e-mail accusing her of supporting Mike Castle and — wait for it — also saying that Allahpundit is her husband.

Delaware Senate Primary Update: NRA, DeMint Endorse Christine O’Donnell
