The small campaign staff that travels with her suits her conservative imagine and it’s genuine! Nothing fancy about her or her campaign but she has MONEY now, so she won’t be steamrolled. HAR!
I’m certain she’s in it for all the right reasons. She’s been trashed, bashed, shredded, maligned and worse, yet she’s still standing, smiling and campaigning. Delaware voters are noticing. Christine is a strong woman and a fighter.
Thanks for your kind words. I’ll do whatever I can to help.
Just let me know, I do plan to write an letter to the editor...lol.

>>>Are there any members here who have an idea about the cost of winning in DE? She has about $2 mill and I didn’t know if this was sufficient.<<<
I have seen the figures for past elections, but this one is different than any other... I think Christine had something like $150k for her campaign against Biden - he spend double digit millions. and she got 35% of the statewide votes.
Christine ran a bit in the hole on that about $11k - but the gal can take $100 and get $1,000 work out of it... Castle outspent her about 10-1 and she got 54%.
Hehehe remember that American Express or some other credit card company commercial... Here it would be - campaign sign $5 Radio spot $40 - $50 Million in free publicity on every radio, TV, newspaper and internet across the nation- PRICELESS!
Her name is now known at every grocery store, shoe shop, beauty salon, bar, church, and political office - nationwide! Almost time to call on all those who now know her to join in sweeping up the Dem. mess.
The choice is not going to be between Christine and some other guy, it will be against someone who in his Junior year at College made one choice - to go to Kenya and became a ‘bearded Marxist’ as he self describes OR someone who was unhappy with her life as a Junior in College and turned everything around and became a devout Christian. Not just professing, but actively working for organizations and programs to help youth to see - through her own testimony - the folly of sin and the saving grace as she had experienced. With a budget of $2,000 she started S.A.L.T. a Christian outreach group and got National acclaim. Christine said that night when she decided, she realized you either had to be very good or evil. She chose good - her opponent chose the other path.
Coons has a huge task to overcome his financial management failings... When he came into office, there was a surplus reserve fund of $133 Million with annual expenses about 155Million - pretty good - well, didn’t take him long to start spending more and taxing more - to build up the reserves? Nope - he continued plundering those funds to where in 2014 (from their own flow-charts) the County will be bankrupt and every cent of the 133 Million will have been spent. - BANKRUPT! Can you believe he ran an ad bragging of his fiscal responsibility? And this is with first a 5% property tax increase - then a 17.5% increase and just last year - biggest tax increase ever for them - up another 25%. But, that only stopped the hemorrhage of cash for the current year - next year he has a budgeted 6% loss and it jumps up from there till all reserves depleated mid 2014.
So, to your question - I have NO IDEA what it will cost for a campaign this year... She right now has 1.5X his funds, but I don’t know what the Dems are going to pour in, but you can rest assured Christine will get lots of mileage out of every dollar.
How nice!
I hope someone is keeping a nice memory book for her.
>>>Broom,
To fly on...<<<
I’ve never seen her demonstrate that skill, but symbolically I thought it had a dual implied meaning... Transportation and sweeping clean the mess in D.C.
Thanks!
I saw the reporter from France this afternoon, and welcomed him to Delaware.
He smiled and said “Thankz” with an unmistakeable French accent.
This makes sense. I’m glad my $5 dollars is going to force the Dims to flood the zone with cash they did not expect to spend if progressive Castle won.
True, she was somewhat older when she made these statements, but she was a mere high school teenager when the “witch date” about which she was speaking actually occurred. She made the comment to show Maher & company that her objection to witchcraft and other occult practices was based on real experience and not mere ivory tower theorizing. I worry far more about those public figures who engage in occult practices without public disclosure, who, unlike Ms. O’Donnell, never outgrew the adolescent insecurities and naivety lead to such experiments. Thinking people will realize this capacity for personal growth in Ms. O’Donnell is a strength, not a weakness, and should enhance rather than detract from her electability.
