I am sorry if my bluntness offended. Really....I should know better.
But aren’t you sick of all of the garbage that comes out about politicians. Just once wouldn’t you like to have one be honest and do the right thing.
When I hear that she is sitting on a million dollars, and she can pretty much spend it as she wants, doesn’t that make you upset?
I am sorry, just end of the week frustrations I guess.
It bothers me more that the Fascistic McCain/Feingold act has made it so that ONLY THE RICH can run for public office.
We need to eliminate that act, and punish those who voted for it.
Now you see what upsets me.

Do a search on all Deleware candidates and you will see that Castle kept 1.9 million after his primary run with no debt and O’Donnell had 1.3 at the end of the general but she had listed debt of over a quarter of a million.
At the end of Joe Miller’s election he had to beg to get immediate money for legal help. He got some but his last file he was at 0.6.
You can run your own state through search and see all the candidates. I am actually glad that she didn’t end a run with big debt and no way to pay it off.
Old Keyes used to pay himself a salary on his Maryland runs. But the various laws are pretty restrictive and report intensive. Let’s see what she has on her next quarterly filing and compare her to lots of others.
With the cost of television, a popular candidate better hadn’t be short when the final accounting is due like Hillary was in the primaries. Not everyone can get a 2 million dollar shortfall covered by others like a Clinton can.
If Christine O’Donnell were to take that million dollars of conservative donations to her campaign and squander it on “charities”, typically foundations with privileged staff and more privileged paychecks, then I would be offended. I want her to use that conservative money to punish the unprincipled money-obsessed slimebags who run Delaware’s alleged “Republican” Party, to see to the election of conservative state central committee members, new conservative party officials who are actually Republican, and to affect public policy in Delaware and in the USA. She should use the money to multiply its amount and effect and make those who torpedoed her campaign wish they had never heard the word politics. That she can use the money to punish those who need punishment does not bother me in the slightest.
“But aren't’t you sick of all of the garbage that comes out about politicians. Just once wouldn't’t you like to have one be honest and do the right thing.”
All the accusations about her during the campaign were Bogus. She is honest and did the right thing. Now, if you are talking about the left over money, you are convicting her before she even spends the money. I am quite sure she will spend the money legally.
I hope she has great success in whatever she does. I'll buy her book. She is exactly what we need in government. I hope she runs again.
