Wikipedia does not grant notability to an unelected candidate for office just because one or more pundits rate her race as "one to watch" — and neither have you shown or sourced that she has any substantive "national name ID" that goes anywhere beyond the fact that national election coverage will always contain glancing namechecks of every candidate in every race across the entire country. For a candidate to qualify for a Wikipedia article, you need to either (a) make a credible and properly sourced case that she was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate, or (b) show a volume of substantive and nationalized media coverage resembling what Christine O'Donnell got — if you can't satisfy either of those conditions (which nothing written or sourced here does), then she doesn't get an article unless and until she wins the seat in November. And that same rule applies regardless of whether the candidate is a Democrat, a Republican, a Green, a Libertarian, an independent or a fringe party candidate, so it's not a partisan bias: Wikipedia simply isn't for publicizing or promoting the campaigns of candidates for office.
