I gave money to Ms. O’Donnell and I don’t regret it for a second. Until HARD evidence proves otherwise, I believe her to be what she says she is.
I also gave money to “the guy in the state of Washington” and “in Colorado”. I don’t regret giving that money either. I don’t have any problem supporting candidates whom I believe in wether they win or not.
What I do have a huge problem with is people like you telling all of us here that we shouldn’t ever support a candidate who is going to have a difficult time winning the election, no matter how much we might agree with her in principle.
According to what you are saying here, we should have supported candidates who would win, even if we have to hold our nose. If the candidates that you supported in Delaware were so good, how come they didn’t win the Primary, huh?
Ms. O’Donnell won the Primary, she was the Republican candidate for the US Senate. What is so damn hard about that? If all you want is some seat with a R after it, why didn’t you support Castle? He would have won, no problem there.
IMHO, the train of thought you display here is a very large part of the reason that we have such a non-responsive government now. If your not prepared to stand on principle, go stand somewhere else. But leave Christine O’Donnell alone, she’s done nothing to you.

You’re welcome to put your money anywhere you wish. However, I believe in putting my money where I believe I will get a return. Sort of like in the stock market, regardless of how I feel about a company, I am not going to put money on things that I don’t believe will give me a good return.
Personally, I believe O’Donnell and Angle are good people and we politically share most views. However, neither came across to me as the very electable.
If I am going to take down a RINO (and I have absolutely no problem doing this), I am going to do it with someone I believe can win.
And you’re welcome to spend your money any way you see fit. I, however, will do the same.
Delaware was a “double or nothing” situation, and we wound up with nothing. Castle would have voted the right way maybe 50% of the time. O’Donnell would have been a solid conservative vote. Instead Biden’s seat will be held for at least the next 6 years by another cookie-cutter liberal (predicted ACU score: 0).
