There's been a lot of talk about what Democrats will do if they lose seats in the House and Senate this November. Many Republicans believe Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will make a last-ditch, lame-duck effort to pass the remaining parts of their agenda, like tax increases, card check, and a climate change bill. And that's why Christine O'Donnell says the Senate race in Delaware is so important.
The Delaware contest is not a regularly scheduled election but rather a special vote to fill the last four years of Vice President Biden's old term. That means the winner will be sworn in immediately after the Nov. 2 election -- not in January like other new lawmakers -- and the new senator will take part in lame-duck votes.
For months, Washington-based Republicans have counted Delaware as a GOP pickup, but they've just assumed the Republican candidate would be Castle. The 71-year-old congressman is a former governor who has been in the House since 1993. He once led Democratic candidate Chris Coons by a huge margin, but that's changing. A recent Rasmussen poll found Castle with a 47 percent to 36 percent lead over Coons, while in the same survey, O'Donnell led Coons by 41 percent to 39 percent.
The state Republican Party is in Castle's corner; Chairman Tom Ross is openly critical of O'Donnell. But others in the GOP are lining up for her. The Tea Party Express and Concerned Women for America have endorsed O'Donnell, and she's hoping to get a nod from Republican Sen. Jim DeMint and even Sarah Palin.

Where do they keep coming from? I for one, think we oughta let these gals have at it...I mean every one that passes the Mama Grizzly test, that is...
The republicans should throw up the threat of lame duck laws and state that they will defund them now and repeal them later.
Another Babelican Candidate...when you’re hot, you’re hot!
There is no doubt, she will get the endorsement from DeMint and Palin, Castle is nothing more then a Democrat.
I agree!!!
The biggest, most dangerous schism in the GOP is not left and right.
Not big or small government.
It is America vs Globalist.
Ahhh, but the Left is for Big Government and are Globalists.
Sooo, I vote for the Right, Small Government AND America - All the way!
(And, why I support Christine O’Donnell)

I truly believe you are 100% Correcto Mundo!
Great pictures - I was over here huffing and puffing to blow those thunderheads around you so you wouldn’t get a downpour.
See, it worked! Never underestimate the power of an old geezer.
How did things go?
Progressives (RINOs) vs. Conservatives......
>>>Progressives (RINOs) vs. Conservatives......<<<
Make that VERY Progressive (UltraRino) vs. Smart, Sharp VERY conservative Christine.
Am I wrong? Is she Sarah Palin’s younger sister? Seriously, I am loving the fact that she is giving Castle a run for his money. I set up the thread with the most hits the nite of the Waxman Markey bill on FR. I called Castle’s office and had his beleagered staffer tell me that the congressman would do what he would do that nite. I want him out for that and so many other reasons. What can I do?
It went great! The crowd of volunteers was even bigger than last week. I heard a lot of whispers from the fair-goers as they passed our group, “That’s Christine O’Donnell. She’s the lady running for Senate!” LOL!
