Fails to meet notability threshold, per WP:ONEVENT. No notable history prior to entering this primary, and upon losing, the prospects for notability are dim. If subject attains notability at a later date, then this should certainly be picked up again, but for now, there's just nothing beyond the single issue. Tarc (talk) 12:41, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect with selective merge to United States Senate election in Massachusetts, 2008 per WP:BLP1E as I suggested on the talk page. This is the standard approach for political candidates. • Gene93k (talk) 12:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This isn't one of those cases where an editor, right before the election, becomes especially concerned about the sanctity of Wikipedia and does his or her part by nominating an article about the other party's nominee. O'Reilly is a candidate who tried, and failed, to win his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate.  If someone was nominating Jeff Beatty (the GOP nominee) for deletion, I'd have to question their sincerity. Mandsford (talk) 13:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above.   RGTraynor  13:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
