Shes not alone she has the TpCaucus behind her.. i.e. 900 lb. Gorilla.. whos gaining weight..
I have no doubt that the liberal dogs will be barking.
*****************
I have no doubt the Vichy Republicans will clenching their soft and slender fists as well. Lotta beads of sweat gathering under some toupees out there.
I wonder how much better Christine might have done had Castle and his people not tried to undermine her.
I would lay money that Castle and his boys voted for Coons.
Christine would have been a much better Senator than that idiot Coons that got elected.
She is a class act. She unseated Mike Castle in DE, a former governor and congressman who had served 45 years in DE politics. Castle was a horrible global warming RINO.
Mrs. exit82 and I worked on her campaign, a real grassroots effort.
We saw her in many settings and crowds—she didn’t change her beliefs.
Indirectly, she can claim that since November she has unseated Tom Ross and the RINO GOP establishment here in DE.
We were at her primary election night win, which was a magical moment. We were also at her concession speech in November, where she and her family proved to be a class act.
She has some detractors here on FR, but I have seen her up close and she is the real deal. She is not a quitter.
But northern DE is heavily DEM—that is how Biden kept getting returned to the Senate. We keep fighting here in the conservative south of the state.
I’ll never forgive Rove for his cowardly attacks on her. It turned out later, Rove was in the employ of the Castle campaign the previous December trying to unite the right behind Castle, but after Cap and Trade, Castle was toast.
Of course, Rove never disclosed that.
Good for her! We need all the Christine O'Donnells we can find!
she’s back? actually she’s never left. i’ve continued to support her through her pac since the special last year.
she’s one of our own. we can’t afford to let a patriot like her go. the’re too valuable and too rare.
she is our tea party secretariat. us old handicappers call her a router. if she keeps running, she’ll have her day. our job is to keep her running.
By God she took out Castle...and for that alone millions of us were grateful.
She also smoked out Rove for the entire conservative community to see what he really was. Over-rated and vindictive.
God speed COD!
I can’t wait for Fishtalk to wake up and weigh in.
never stopped supporting her. she is a patriot. to rare and valuable to let the rino collective take away. she is still my tea party secrtariat. always running from behind. ready to kick past the rinos if given a chance.
and another thing. i worked the phones for weeks in that campaign. when i talked to her supporters, they knew exactly what was going on with castle and his attacks on her. they all said so.
the people, republicans, who opposed her were biggoted and vicious. they spouted the establisment/rove/castle talking points word for word back to me on the phone. they called her an “idiot or stupid” on the phone. they wanted to get their digs in so bad they didn’t pull the usual and just hang up the phone. that’s how much damage the repubicans had done.
the people here saying that she ran a poor campaign couldn’t be more wrong. she ran a great campaign given the challenges thrown up by her own state party. and the fact that she was running in one of the bluest of the blue.
God’s speed christine. we’ll always have your back.
IMHO, Christine O’Donnell is not a good candidate for public office. She’s gotten much attention in life from her beauty and I think it has taught her the wrong lessons. I don’t buy in to her profession of faith and moral high ground because she has spent more than a decade selling it on MTV and anything Bill Mahar happens to be hosting this week. Her “fame” prior to her efforts for public office has been posing as a boogeyman for the left’s talking points. I have a hard time supporting someone who makes a living that way.
That said, she was the candidate conservatives needed in Delaware in 2010 precisely because she didn’t know any better. She took on the Delaware GOP establishment, which had been satisfied with going along to get along, and she defeated it. She also didn’t know to listen to all those people who told her she was punching above her weight class in the general election. She gave the election her all and was smacked down by both the GOP machine as well as her opponent. Were she afforded a supportive Republican party in the general election, it would have been a much closer result. I’m certain that other men and women around the nation who had not ever thought about running for public office have watched and learned from both Christine O’Donnell and her campaign. I’m also certain that well entrenched GOP party machines are a little less entrenched each day because of efforts by dreamers like Christine.
Tokyo Rove will be deeply disappointed.
It’s time for the GOP’s ruling class to go.
