Crossing party lines in DE Senate race

By Amy Cherry

A group of Democrats say they're throwing their support behind Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell because their party has betrayed them.

Jim McCulley is a small business owner. He's been a registered Democrat his whole life, but this time he's voting Republican by casting a ballot for O'Donnell in next week's election.

I've become very disillusioned with partisan politics, and the thing that I really like best about Christine is that she doesn't have the endorsement of her party or any party. She's going to represent us."

The self-proclaimed citizen politician says she'll vote no on cap and trade and will push to eliminate the death tax.

That's enough for this Democrat -- Michael Degnars -- a local baker.

"We need somebody like Christine O'Donnell. Please go to Washington. She means what she says."

You may be right
She may be crazy.
But it just may be a lunatic we’re looking for.

*(It’s Joe Biden’s seat for God’s sake!)

Everybody always loves to complain on how politicians are always so slick, with their blow-dried hair and sound-bites carefully scripted by handlers and consultants. We love to complain how most politicians never held a real job and are not in touch with common people.

So when we do get people seeking public office who are not career bureaucrats with law degrees from stuffy universities, what do we do? We allow the media to attack them as being unqualified or otherwise "kooky". Why do we allow this to happen?

Let's hope the people of Delaware take advantage of the opportunity to send a person to the senate who actually has been out in the real world. A Christine O'Donnell victory will embolden other good citizens to seek public office in 2012 and accelerate the growth of the Tea Party.

Lame-duck bills still out there:

Amnesty (’DREAM’ act)
Card Check (’Employee Free Choice Act’)
1% tax on every frigging transaction (HR 4646—“Tax Everything”—”Debt Free America” Act)
Globull Warming (American Power Act or some variation of it)
National Service (HR5147 –Universal National Service Act [always put forward but not yet passed])
Gun ‘Control’ –(H.R.45 — Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009)

The Republican winners that will be seated immediately need to make a commercial together, making a pact, to kill lame-duck passage of such bills. And they need to show voter fraud testimonies and simply ask, Why Cheat if your cause is ‘Just’ and your mantra ‘hope and change’?

News on the grapevine is that O’Donnell’s campaign has an internal poll that has her only six points behind. If this is legit, then it would seem that momentum is her friend.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what determines when a new senator is seated? Why did it take weeks for Scott Brown (R-MA) to be seated, but other senators are sworn in the day after the election? Is it their respective state laws that determine this?

Outstanding!

It’s good to see some Dems starting to “get it.”

They understand that politicians who support Obama are abetting in bankruptcy of our country.

Mark Levin interviewed Christine today. He is a strong supporter.

The more I hear her speak, the more I am impressed.

We the people need a Senator O’Donnell.

There have been the questionable polls from tcj. the most recent had Christine at -6. there’s a mystery poll referred to by tea party express, also at -6. Theres a poll referred to by hillbuzz at -5. And reference in that same hillbuzz article about polls where Christine is leading.

The most recent real poll is the Rasmussen at -11. that was taken 10/14.
