Delaware Crossing: Reading the Signs of a Tea Party Surprise

A selection of the best readers' comments on Christine O'Donnell's primary victory... A few thoughts:

"Both parties have vastly underestimated the level most Americans are fed up with the status quo of US politics."

"Insulting others for thinking differently is counterproductive. I don't expect perfection in my political leaders nor am I willing to discount someone because they are not perfectly poised and polished. I admire hard work, personal responsibility, and a bent towards financial responsibility. Show me these attributes, and I will vote for you."

"What I would like to convey to my liberal friends is being a conservative does not translate into being a right wing extremist or some crazy lunatic who cares nothing about social issues and hates the federal gov’t. There are plenty of lunatics on the far right and left that make up a very small part of our population, most of whom no one pays any attention to."

"Governing is not complicated. This is a lie perpetrated by liberal intellectuals who've ruined our country with their complicated "solutions" that have failed miserably. Real solutions to this mess may be hard on us, but they are simple."

This ISN’T “another 1994”. It’s another 1776! Get on board or go back to the plantation.
