A couple of points then you can filibuster some more.
First, according to O'Donnell herself the Delaware state GOP didn't do anything to help her in 2008. She complains about that repeatedly in a recent interview with Dan Gaffney just a few days ago.
Listen to interview HERE
The 'no help from state GOP' is also part of the fundraising stichk she uses with out-of-state groups, along with the blatent exageration that she 'won' two out of three Delaware counties in her race against Biden in 08. Not only did she lose all three counties in 2008, Biden won by the largest margin in his career.
Second, many of the questions regarding her credibility are recent, within the last year, and they are substantial. Using campaign funds for personal use is a serious FEC violation, and is exactly the kind of baggage the GOP does NOT need going into November. Especially when it can be used as a stick against Democrats.
Finally, her behavior of late has many former supporters concerned. She accuses them of 'selling out' or 'on the paytroll' of Mike Castle. It's a bit sad when someone who is obviously undergoing a lot of stress starts to come apart at the seams.
Who do you support in Maine?
Snowe and Collins?
After all, Maine is Liberal, and a Conservative can’t win there, right?
Castle would be worse than them.
I won’t filibuster anymore.
you win

HORSEFEATHERS!!!!!!!!!!
2008 the State Party Chairman promised things that he did not have the ability to deliver on - namely expenses they said they would pay. This led to Christine having to borrow against her house.
THAT is why Christine would not declare earlier than she did this year. Once burned by the Party, she held off (and she publicly said so) until at least $100,000 was donated so she wouldn’t be put in the same situation as before.
Another tidbit you may not be aware of - the Party’s finances were so bad that at one point Castle gave them $30,000 from his campaign funds! Now it is payback time!
And you wonder why the attitudes?
Oh, you speak of filibusters - you are aware aren’t you that Castle just two weeks ago said he wants to revise the Senate rules and eliminate the filibuster - AND he was looking at other rules he wanted to change...
We need to give Castle a one-way ticket to Michele Rollins’ 7,000 acre resort!
