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.

A ditzy "activist" with ZERO accomplishments in her life is only slightly more qualified for public office than a "community organizer."

why so many on this site defend this dumb broad is beyond me. The "protect the damsel in distress" tendency never manifested itself in me I guess.

I was in O’Donnell’s corner.

Rove and his RINO comrades, along with the Beltway establishment were working overtime to defeat her. We won’t soon forget.

From the article:

“One of six kids from a working class Irish-Italian American family, as she details in Troublemaker she has had nothing in life handed to her. Everything, from her education to professional achievements has come at the price of exceptionally hard work. Yet in the style of Emerson’s admonition she has been a nanny, cleaned bathroom floors to survive (including, incredibly, after losing her second Senate run) and learned instinctively how to calm her Alzheimer’s- besieged grandmother by singing a favorite hymn.

She has worked in marketing, owned a house and had to give up a house. She has been subjected to clearly politically inspired IRS audits. And she has paid her taxes and an expensive college tuition. She has studied at Oxford, is versed in the theology of her Catholic faith, writes about everything from papal encyclicals (Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae on human dignity and personhood is a favorite) to socialism in France and property rights as a fundamental of economic freedom. Her early pro-life activism came out of long discussions she had with a childhood friend — and it was O’Donnell who was supporting the pro-abortion position. A position she abandoned in horror after reading up on the subject in detail.

She has traveled in the Middle East, by chance coming upon a young Jordanian woman who, right in front of O’Donnell, “had come within a half step of being killed for shaming her family and her village” for the “crime” of stepping a foot in a spring where O’Donnell and other male and female American tourists were cooling off together. Quickly surrounded and dragged away by angry male relatives shouting in Arabic, a shaken O’Donnell was informed by her guide that had the girl merely touched the water she would have been killed in an Islamic “honor killing.” O’Donnell was interviewed and seriously considered as a television co-host by Barbara Walters for Walters’ famous show The View (O’Donnell lost out to Lucy Ling), was hired by Mel Gibson’s production company to help with the marketing of Gibson’s blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ, and defeated a sitting congressman and former governor for a nomination to the United States Senate.”

Hello to another Delawarian. Christine has been nothing but a class act since last November's election. She has been supporting the Sussex GOP via her PAC, never insinuating herself into the picture.

She did NOT go on Dancing With the Stars though few would have held it against her.

She got exonerated from that FEC charge, done by the Delaware GOP Chairman...NOW RESIGNED as he was forced.

Above a pic of Christine with my granddaughter.

Becuase the Blue Blood Ruling Class GOP will reach across the aisle to the Democrats with perfectly polished fingernails and superb coiffed hair. Who will they beat the hell out of as if in an alley cat fight?

THEIR OWN DAMN BASE!!!!
