From the article:

“WSJ: “A two-time loser statewide, Ms. O’Donnell has a history of financial troubles and recently told the Weekly Standard her home and office were vandalized, though she hadn’t reported it to police. She recently accused a conservative local talk radio host that he had been “paid off” by Mr. Castle’s supporters after he asked her tough questions.”

NRO (Geraghty): “With Christine O’Donnell, all we have are promises. We can’t evaluate her on her record in elected office because she has no record. O’Donnell seems determined to begin her political career by winning a U.S. Senate seat; she has never served in a local board of education, town or city council, state legislature, etc. Her next general-election victory will be her first.”

NRO (Goldberg): “I don’t know that much about Delaware, but people I trust say that Castle may well be the best we can hope for there.” And: “Also, it’s worth pointing out that we want more liberal Republicans, we just want them to replace Democrats. If Northeast Republicans have to be more liberal than Southwest ones to win, that’s okay.”

NRO (Foster): “Forty Jim DeMints or 60 Lindsey Grahams? Forty Christine O’Donnell’s or 60 Mike Castles?” and “So, again: would conservatives in Delaware rather win, or send a message?”

NRO (Stuttaford): “As for the idea that reducing the GOP to a rump of true believers (whatever that might actually mean: there are plenty on the right who interpret the terms “limited government” and “free people” in very different ways) is the essential first step in a Republican restoration, it is, I am afraid, a bad mistake. Wildernesses are, almost always, for losers.”

pray4liberty, did you catch the, “O’Donnell seems determined to begin her political career by winning a U.S. Senate seat; she has never served in a local board of education, town or city council, state legislature, etc. Her next general-election victory will be her first.”?

Well, gentlemen, that is the idea. Did Geraghty, Goldberg, Foster, and Stuttaford’s brains just fall out of their heads? We’ve had “experienced” in office for decades and all they could come up with was a friggin’ “stimulus” package, a “healthcare” bill, and a national dept that we may never recover from.

Yes I caught that... by that definition then nobody other than their anointed ones are qualified to run for office. That article just reeks with elitist arrogance. However if she and we the voters pitch Castle headlong into his dirty moat, the DE GOP will be the first in line to kiss her hand!

Normally, experience is a good thing. But not when one is on the wrong side of the issues.
