O'Donnell is more like Dan Maes than she is like Haley or Palin, wouldn't you agree?
Just to put Castle into perspective.
Christine O’Donnell ran as an Independent in 2005, which is where I first met her. She ran on a write in and received a majority vote in Delaware’s biggest county.
She was NOMINATED by the Delaware GOP for 2008 to run for Senator against Biden.
This year the Delaware GOP nominated Mike Castle because...well Castle’s been Delaware’s Rep in the House since the early 90’s and he wanted the Senator job vacated by Biden. Also it was believed, probably correctly, that if Beau Biden were to run as the Dem for Senator that Castle would be the only pub that could beat him.
Beau Biden has problems, however, including an upcoming case against a child pervert Pediatrician and he had a little stroke recently.
I dunno, the GOP might have nominated O’Donnell again were it not for the above factors. She didn’t do half bad against Biden but no one had a chance of beating Biden...who’s been Delaware’s Senator since the early 70’s.
So now that Castle’s got the GOP endorsement, O’Donnells running as an Independent for the primary to win the Repub nomination.
Point is...O’Donnell’s been around. She’s no flake although the opposition’s did lots of digging and found a bunch of nothing stuff.
AGAIN...O’Donnell was nominated by the Delaware GOP in 2008 but now that’s she’s challenging Castle she’s all of a sudden a horrible lying thief?
WAS THE DELAWARE GOP LYING IN 2008 OR ARE THEY LYING NOW?
It disturbs me to no end that members of FreeRepublic, who should be experts on how a complicit media lies, seem to want to jump on the bandwagon to villify Christine O’Donnell...who has been, see the above, around and who was once nominated and ran for the very position she now seeks.
You don’t like O’Donnell, you want to believe the hoopla raised to get Castle elected so he may vote for Cap and Trade in the Senate (He and the Vietnam guy were the only two Repubs in the House to vote for it). What...you don’t think Castle will vote for Cap and Trade in the Senate?
Heh.
He also voted for TARP, the recent DISCLOSE act, against the surge in Iraq and said he would not vote to ban Obamacare.
But hey, let’s beat the hell out of O’Donnell, a past candidate and how comes they didn’t find out all this stuff before? Because we really need Castle as a Senator he’s such a loyal and dependable Conservative.
Whatever suits you.
