Everytime I see Lamar Alexander I think of those red flannel sweaters he and his supporters wore in his run for the Republican nomination in 1996...Anyway, Lamar is headed to Delaware

Lamar Alexander, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, will make a campaign appearance Friday in Delaware with GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, CNN has learned.
The Tennessee senator is the first member of the Senate Republican leadership to appear with O'Donnell, according to an Alexander aide.
O'Donnell stunned and disappointed the GOP establishment when she beat Rep. Mike Castle in the Republican primary. Castle was considered a sure winner in the general election, but O'Donnell now trails her Democratic opponent Chris Coons by double digits.
"Christine O'Donnell's election will help provide a badly needed check and balance on a runaway federal government that has given us too much spending, too many taxes, too much debt, and too many Washington takeovers," Alexander said in a statement posted in the endorsements section of O'Donnell's campaign web site.
At the 9am event at Buckley's Restaurant in Centerville, Alexander will thank O'Donnell's volunteers and supporters and he will hold a press conference. Notice the article says that this is "the first member of the Republican leadership to appear with O'Donnell." There is simply no excuse for the GOP leadership to not do everything in their power to win this Senate seat from the Democrats, especially in a possible wave election, anything can happen...
If the choices are
Lamar
Mitt
Huck
Newt
who do you pick?
it’s about time.
that’s all you got Senate Republicans (Mitt and John Cornyn)?
i wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with mitt.

Good on you, Lamar. If 3 or 4 others showed up or gave their endorsement in a loud way, it could help. It would help a lot if Judd Greg would step up. He’s from the NE, is well-respected, knows COD is a fiscal conservative, and has nothing to lose.
voting ends at 8pm, so DEL results come in early. I expect media mischief ... will call for Coons early before they should
“Christine O’Donnell’s election will help provide a badly needed check and balance on a runaway federal government that has given us too much spending, too many taxes, too much debt, and too many Washington takeovers,” Alexander said.
Wonder who’s been putting Tobasco in Lamar!’s applesauce.
Hannity says Christine O’Donnell will be on in a few minutes. Fox news channel.
Indeed. May I also add: This race as well as the seat Barney Franks may lose, will be an election night stunner.
Funny.
Somehow, that name sounds familiar.
One thing for sure is the fact that Chris Coons and his in-laws have become worth millions working for a phony global warming ( Al Gore ) company, so we already know that if elected to the senate he will be pushing hard for Cap&Trade.
Sarah Palin should campaign with Christine, too. There are ways to greatly improve upon Christine’s chances, but too many have, already, put this race in the losing column for the GOP. Proving RINOS, Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove, SNL, and “the entire political left” wrong on their predictions of this race should be, successfully, used as an incentive for winning this race for Christine!
Can we add “None of the Above”?
But, seriously, what’s the answer?
Most here prefer Palin. Add Palin to that list and I pick Palin.
But there will be an anti-Palin, and I think that Lamar would likely be the anti-Palin.
The question is about those 4. Not, who would be best.
I thought I read that Palin would be coming to Delaware for the tea party express stop in Wilmington on Sunday. Is that no longer true?
I have NO idea if Sarah was or is planning to go?
I am for Sarah 24/7/365 :)
Why now at this late hour??? Someone feeling the heat !!
