All of that is hers?

I guess it was worth a million bucks to get rid of Michelle Castle.

Good for her. I hope she chooses not to share any of it with the ever helpful RINO’s. That’s great seed money to use in future “exploratory campaigns”. Kind of a cool annuity. FU, Karl Rove.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee declined to comment.

This is not the first time O’Donnell’s campaign finance practices have come under fire.

___________________________________________________________

So the fire is only coming from Politico, which apparently doesn’t buy that much of the donations were late and couldn’t be spent and there are likely legal issues for years after the campaign. How much is left in Reids coffers? Pelosis? etc.

She doesn’t get to take vacations with the money.

But now she has money to fund her PAC, travel for speaking engagements, send some to candidates, etc.

She has a lifetime gig now.

The people who fell head over heals over this unelectable woman cost us any shot at a Senate seat. Congratulations to them for that and for throwing gobs of money at a woman who had no shot. You could have given her a billion and she’d have still lost.

Yeah, and watch her sit on TV for the next few years talking about how “its about the people” and “I am for the average guy.”

Horse hockey.

If you are in, then be in to win.

She is no better than the rest of them. Thinking just of herself and her pockets.

Get lost. Moeny probably came in late in the campaign. They probably had some in reserve to insure she did not end up in debt. Is she perfect? No. Is she better than any Dem and most slimy RINOs? Yes. She is better than Scott Brown.

Has she announced yet, for her 4th attempt in 2012?

Get a nice apartment for “Campaign Hq.”

Retain herself, as “media ccnsultant.”

Good on her. Let her regroup, pick another office, and use the money for that run.

Oh, and Christine, write a book! You've got quite a story, and it'd be fun to read what you have to say about Tokyo Rove.

She can fun her PAC and pay herself to be the manager.

It is a scam.

She is not just a witch, but is now officially just another Washington Wannabee Whore.

Your boy didn't have a chance. Without the Republican base, Castle was just another loser.

You people only imagine the "base is with you" ~ these days you have to earn it.

Look, DC has quite enough of the real thing ~ and they way you talk it suggests you’ve gotten to know a lot of them.

“...this unelectable woman...”

Thank you Rove but sometimes it is better to lose with a Goldwater than to win with a Nixon.

Scott Brown was sent to DC for a single vote. And he did what he was supposed to do.

He will get blown away next time.

After reading the crap from the Fed the other day, I wish a POX on all of their houses. They ALL suck, and we need to vote every last one out. The Dems, and Republicans, and anyone else.

They need to stop taxing, and stop spending. They just don’t get it.

If she wants to make a name for herself, pay off her bills and give it all to charity. THAT would impress me.

Politico can shove it. Christine O’Donnell DID get screwed over by the RNC...and by the television stations that were supposed to run her documentary/campaign spots.

She didn’t get fair and balanced coverage from the media, and she got the cold shoulder from the Republican power structure.

Good for her that she kept a few dollars.

The morons who opposed her BITCHED because she was once poor, now they’ll BITCH because she is “rich”.

Keep the money, Christine. God bless you.

“fun her PAC “

No one has fun with Christine’s PAC. She’s a perpetual reincarnated virgin. ;)

"All of that is hers?"

Only to use in the context of a political campaign, for either herself or others. She can't - by law - put it in her pocket.

Although, what happens - and I'm not saying she's going to do this, just that politicians sometimes do - is that politicos will set up their relatives/friends to work in "staff" positions in their organization and pay them ridiculously high salaries to funnel off the left-over campaign cash.

It's a bit of a racket, abused by both sides of the aisle.
