O’Donnell had no business being in that race. The Tea Party in Delaware failed us. The sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can put forth a candidate who stands a chance of winning.
She WAS a weak candidate.
Anybody who outspends their opponent 2:1 and doesn’t get within 10% in the votes is the DEFINITION of a poor candidate.
I actually listened to her positions and agreed with her on most. Had I been in Delaware I would have voted for her. The real problem in Delaware is there are too many left-thinking people. The primary voters at least DID pick her over the RINO Castle.
Hey, let's go easy on COD. I see a lot to admire. Moreover, your word "business" is key to my thinking here:
Christine's a very sharp businesswoman. Some businesswomen make and market widgets, some make and market political campaigns. COD is the latter variety, with a lot of good old-fashioned entrepreneurial acumen. She walks away from her 2010 campaign with $900K in her PAC, a book contract, and the promise of untold riches from TV appearances and speaking fees.
All in all, it's quite an impressive accomplishment!
And the fact that thousands of conservatives were duped into giving oodles of money to her campaign is neither your problem nor mine. It looks merely to confiirm the old adage that a sucker is born every now and then, if not every minute.
