Just announced on our local talk radio station....
The Christine O'Donnell just got an official endorsement by Sarah Palin.
I think its Norah O’Donnell/ wink wink
Soooooo....I get myself so excited and I get O’Donnell’s first name wrong.
It should be Christine.
That is good news for DE.
Perfect timing. Undecided conservatives in Delaware should now flock to Christine. A Palin endorsement is worth its weight in gold.
Here’s the Kos Kid’s reaction:
DE-Sen: Teabagger O’Donnell gets Palin endorsement

I just hope that, if O’Donnell gets the nom, she beats what’s his name, the Democrat. The conventional wisdom is that, in this deeply blue state, it takes a wet to beat a Dem. Maybe we’ll find out!
Equally important - maybe more important, is the “positive” coverage given her by Rush, Sean Hannity, and several other talk shows this week. Even Micheal Medved condemned the problems Castle is creating/will create.
Note that Castle is considered so shaky a “republican” that changing parties is discussed as a viable, positive option. For him.
((((PING))))
I'm not sure of Palin's motivation in this. The primary is in 5 days; where was she a month ago when her endorsement could have made a bigger difference in terms of fundraising and media coverage?
I was listening to Hannity and GoCards posted a separate thread too.
We are all thrilled.
I heard SP bagged a caribou as well.
Great news, Pat.
Now, the anti-Christine squad will show up to say Palin is out of her mind.
Now on the WGMD 4:30 news.
This is the gamechanger for Christine.
I know that this appears to be on short notice but could someone confirm for me if the GOP primary allows for early voting.
If it does then I think an argument could be made it will not have maximum impact but if there is not a provision for early voting it could be perfect timing.
It’s uphill Pogo....but the longest trip in the world begins with one step.
The Castle people have beat the hell out of O’Donnell and I think it’s backfired.
The worst they evidently could find on her was some financial issues in O’Donnell’s past.
I’ll not make light of them; they were serious. Her house was facing foreclosure but she sold it and paid off the mortgate. There were IRS issues but you’ll have to trust me that I’ve read the entire thing about this and it was like nothing. One problem required better documentation from Christine, which she provided. Another problem required Christine to pay more in taxes, which she did.
The Castle people been beating on this poor woman, with the help of the Blue Blood Ruling Class GOP here in Delaware. Let me remind, as I must, that this same Blue Blood Ruling Class GOP endorsed Christine in 2008 to run against Joe Biden.
Not a whisper about these financial issues then. I guess when it didn’t manner the opposition the Blue Blood Ruling Class Delaware GOP didn’t care but now that it’s their beloved RINO Mike Castle that Christine runs against, well get out the hyenas and let them hoot and holler.
It’s sickening.
Anyway, the primary is this coming Tuesday. Wish us luck.
Cause who amongst us hasn’t had “financial issues”? Except, maybe, mighty Mike Castle and Joe Biden, who are RICH.
How dare a person who once had money issues dare to think they should be an elite U.S. Senator as it states so plainly in the constitution that you must be RICH to try to get elected to such a holy and high position?
We need to get rid of Mike Castle folks. Now is our best chance.
so true....read this post again yon ladies and gems.
How you doing?
I now got hundreds of friends on Facebook based on some posts I made, copies of my FreeRepublic posts mostly.
The Blue Blood Ruling Class Delaware GOP is scared out of its mind.
Governor Palin’s endorsement should be the frosting on the cake: If you can’t win a race without someone’s backing, maybe you shouldn’t be running. Gov. Palin is a private citizen at present, yet people complain that she’s not doing enough? What are they doing to help consefvatives win this Fall?
You can vote early...absentee if that’s what you need...in Delaware.
At least I’ve seen posts by those who have.
