At the end of the day, Christine O’Donnell was a flawed candidate irrespective of whatever her “core values” might be. After listening to her for any length of time, a sentient being would have to conclude that she was not Senatorial material. In a state like Maryland, where the lunatic fringe of the Left has a big piece of the action, there was just no way she would have won. I guess we can be thankful that she dispatched the RINO, because now at least we are certain with whom we are really dealing, a Marxist. Personally, she needs to leave the political scene permanently, with or without the money.

I fully expect the NRO to do a in-depth report next week on all the unspent millions by Dem candidates and established Repub. candidates.

Especially because she ran in Delaware.

Yeah, like Delaware Senatorial candidate Mike Castle who had nearly twice as much money left over...

NRO is so very concerned about left over funds!

the O’Donnell campaign aired no television ads for three weeks after the primary.

Yes, that was pathetic...and then the first one she airs is "I'm not a witch" and the rest were poorly produced and could have been made with a home movie camera and Windows Media Player. No excuse for it. Then she whined about the NRSC not helping when she wouldn't even help herself and had the resources and support to do so.

Deal wit it lefties!.

The moola is hers. Kerry cleared $20 million. Even ole Pat Buchananan managed $10+ million. Al Gore? etc. ad nauseam.

Win lose or draw, what's left in the campaign kitty after the election can legally belong to the smart candidate, or an entity of their choosing ... or creation.

O'Donnell could have won and I hope she uses the money to pull endless practical jokes on Karl Rove and the other uber-ani of the RNC/GOP establishment.

ESPECIALLY when you’re a guy who never put the uniform on yourself.

Amen to that!

Like J F’n Kerry - when the uprise started against him ‘they’ said if he was that bad why didn’t you Swift Boaters etc say something before.
The only answer to that is “As long as he was in Mass he was really their problem (for the most part), once he went national, he was fair game”.
