Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell says she's been invited to be a contestant on TV's "Dancing with the Stars." But the losing Senate candidate from Delaware isn't sure she should accept, saying she has two left feet and a book about politics to complete. The conservative Republican, who lost to a Democrat amid controversy over past statements about youthful dabbling in witchcraft, is soliciting opinions on her Facebook page. O'Donnell says her initial reaction was to say "no" to the show, but others are encouraging her to accept. O'Donnell writes she's flattered, but a 2-year-old nephew has more rhythm than...

Yeah, that's real bad. People who don't care about re-election when trying to clean up the mess in Washington.

Former Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has re-entered the headlines. The Delaware native has recently announced that she has signed a book deal after her defeat in the Senate race last year. In that election, Miss O'Donnell polled 40% in a largely blue state. O'Donnell gained much traction with many conservatives last year after Mark Levin and other radio hosts endorsed her over Representative Mike Castle for the nomination. The primary in September gained national attention and saw O'Donnell beating Castle 53-47%. Now O'Donnell is back in the spotlight, saying that the White House had pegged her as the number one...

In the wake of Monday's ruling by a Florida judge to toss out ObamaCare as a result of the individual mandate, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell asked liberal constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley Tuesday if the Democrats made a mistake not writing a severability clause into the law. Turley surprisingly answered, "It was a colossal mistake"

Franks stays totally cool. It's great.

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R) has officially filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to organize her own political action committee -- Christine PAC. The Tea Party favorite and Sarah Palin-backed candidate upset former Rep. Mike Castle (R) in Delaware's GOP Senate primary but lost to Democrat Chris Coons by 16 percentage points. Still, that loss hasn't deterred her, and she indicated last month she intended to remain active in politics and that she was moving ahead with her own PAC. In a letter to the FEC dated Jan. 3 and received on Jan. 14, her treasurer, Paul...

According to the Associated Press mistrust of government was Jared Loughner's defining conviction. Loughner’s friends said he believed the U.S. government was behind 9/11. Wait a minute. Then that would make Loughner a 9/11 truther. No way should a 9/11 truther be confused with the Tea Parties, Republicans or anyone on the Right. Those who really know Loughner best, contradict the Left wing Media and the Left wing Political narrative that want to use Loughner as a poster boy for violating the first and second amendments of the Constitution. Those who know him best, Zach Osler for instance tell just...

Nets Bolster Accusers of Christine O'Donnell, Ignore Liberal Nature of Watchdog CREW By: Brad Wilmouth Friday, December 31, 2010 As the broadcast network morning newscasts on Thursday each interviewed former Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell regarding allegations that she misused campaign money, in the setup piece on each network, the correspondent failed to inform viewers of credibility weaknesses on the part of O’Donnell’s accusers and omitted O’Donnell’s contention that she did not use campaign money to pay for rent on her home. Additionally, only CBS’s Jan Crawford informed viewers that the group pushing for an investigation - the Center...

Proving allegations against O'Donnell false, on March 20, 2009, Christine O'Donnell filed with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for the US Senate race in 2010. Filling up a slow news week with fake news, the mainstream media fabricated a story about an unconfirmed supposed investigation of Christine O'Donnell's campaign finances. While one anonymous person claims to have been interviewed, other key (likely) witnesses deny having been contacted and official agencies refused to comment. The accusations were brought by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (C.R.E.W.). CNN reported on December 30, 2010, that for the first time...

Christine O’Donnell says Joe Biden is behind campaign fund misuse report. More specifically, O’Donnell is implying that Biden is sending the FBI after her in order to handle the alleged investigation that’s been started on her use of campaign contributions. Two days, ago the AP ran a story claiming O’Donnell was being criminally investigated, but O’Donnell herself has disproved that misleading report by asserting on the same day that no authorities ever contacted her regarding the AP story. Yesterday, O’Donnell fought back by pointing the finger at the vice president, saying that the whole rumor of a criminal investigation was...

Delaware's Republican Party Chair Tom Ross called it "A VERY UGLY TURN" when the Tea Party Express chose to support a conservative challenger to Sore Loser Republican Mike Castle. Tom Ross said on National Public Radio on September 8, 2010, TALK OF THE NATION: "Tea Party Sets Sights On Delaware" with JENNIFER LUDDEN, host: QUOTE: "But the campaign kind of took a very ugly turn about a week ago, when all of a sudden the Tea Party Express announced that they were going to get involved" UNQUOTE. Ross then quickly sought to intentionally blur the involvement of the Tea Party...

Democrats were apparently under-represented in Delaware’s US Senate race on November 2, 2010, according to CNN exit polls taken on election night. Voter registration for Delaware’s 2010 election totaled Democrats: 47 %. Republicans: 29.4%. “Other” & Independents: 23.5% (Voter registration closed on October 9, 2010. Registration totals are as of October 21, 2010.) http://elections.delaware.gov/services/candidate/regtotals.shtml However, actual voter turn out according to CNN’s exit poll was: Democrats: 44%. Republicans: 30%. “Other” & Independents: 27% http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/polls/#val=DES01p1 Thus Democrats were under-represented among the actual voters who turned out in the November 2 election. Only 44% of actual voters were Democrats although 47% of...

It all started with a column by Bill O’Reilly which included a reference to Jesus Christ’s attitude toward charity. Then Comedy Central’s theologian-in-chief Stephen...

It probably wasn't an endorsement Hillary Clinton welcomed. One of the wilder members of the Tea Party movement hopes the US Secretary of State will run against President Barack Obama in the 2012 Democratic primaries. "I would love to see her take out Obama," said Christine O'Donnell, the Delaware conservative who made headlines during this year's mid-term elections by denying she was a witch.

By Shane D'Aprile - 12/07/10 10:22 PM ET Christine O'Donnell on Tuesday compared the "tragedy" of extending unemployment benefits to Pearl Harbor and the death of Elizabeth Edwards. "Today marks a lot of tragedy," O'Donnell, the Tea Party-backed GOP Senate candidate from Delaware, said Tuesday night during an appearance in Virginia. "Tragedy comes in threes," O'Donnell said. "Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards's passing and Barack Obama's announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits." O'Donnell continued: "The reason I say this is a tragedy is because his announcement of economic recovery was more of...

Christine O'Donnell is a hero to all for taking out Mike Castle. His "Dream Act" vote cemented that. His yes vote in the house would have been at much more strength, as he could have easily voted for cloture, giving the horrendous act of amnesty bipartition cover. Primaries for RINOs is the only way to save our republic, and my this Castle vote be the first topic Hannity of the other talking heads bring up to Tokyo Rove.

Was it all a heist? A candidate who had persistent financial problems pulls off a surprise upset in the primary, and the conservative grassroots open their wallets wide and often in order to help ensure the campaign’s competitiveness – only to see the candidate end the campaign with nearly $1 million in unspent funds. Is this how Christine O’Donnell wanted it? Politico reported, “O’Donnell reported having $924,800 in the bank after the election was over, according to her post-general election campaign fundraising report, filed Thursday.” The explanation from O’Donnell spokesman Matthew Moran is that O’Donnell was advised by her attorney...
