NRSC Raised Money Using Christine O'Donnell's Name the Day Before Delaware Primary
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/15/2010 8:28:48 AM PDT by kristinn

The day before the Delaware U.S. Senate primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) raised money using the name of the eventual winner, Christine O'Donnell.

A search of Google News on Monday using the search term "Christine O'Donnell" returned a paid advertisement by the NRSC at the top of the search field soliciting donations. A click through on the ad's link went to the NRSC's donation page. This indicates that the NRSC purchased "Christine O'Donnell" from Google.

I did not make a screen grab as it seemed more a curiousity than anything terribly newsworthy at the time. However, with the NRSC letting it be known they will not be funding O'Donnell--and doing so before she even gave her victory speech last night--their hypocrisy in raising money off her name must be exposed.

Do that and we destroy the RINOS credibility so baldly they will not be able to resurrect it for 2012.

If and only if she wins.

How many times have the RINOS insisted that conservatives fall in line behind their nominees? Yet how many times have they stabbed a conservative nominee in the back?

This is worse than Lucy with a football.

Delaware Senate – O’Donnell vs. Coons

Rasmussen Reports 9/2 – 9/2 500 LV 47 36 Coons +11

Rasmussen Reports 8/5 – 8/5 500 LV 46 36 Coons +10

Rasmussen Reports 7/14 – 7/14 500 LV 39 41 O’Donnell +2

O’Donnell actually polled ahead of Coons back on 7/14.

So expect this race to get a lot closer.

***

Battle for the Senate

49 Democrats
Toss Ups 6
Republicans 45

Likely Dem

DE: Open (D)

Toss Ups

CA: Boxer (D)
CO: Bennet (D)
IL: Open (D)

NV: Reid (D)
WA: Murray (D)
WI: Feingold (D)

Real Clear Politics

GOP 45 + 5 toss ups = 50

GOP 45 + 6 toss ups = 51

So it’s still doable.

Hey guys!

moovova just posted this on another thread:

Cornyn felt the crack of the whip apparently...

NRSC Chairman Cornyn’s Statement On Delaware Senate Race Wednesday, September 15, 2010 @ 11:09 AM

".S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), released the following statement regarding the Delaware Senate race:

“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.

“I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support. This support includes a check for $42,000 – the maximum allowable donation that we have provided to all of our nominees – which the NRSC will send to her campaign today "

Good job Freepers!!!

I’m curious as to who started the rumor that she would not have any support?

The "moderates" in the GOP have all crawled way out on the “She cannot win” limb. Now is the time to saw it off behind them.

So let's fund her ourselves, and don't forget to send a few bucks to Michelle Bachmann in spite of the Witch Pelosi!

NRSC is catching a lot of flak on their Facebook page this morning too, which might signal why they have reversed course: http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=9324910069&share_id=160292983980782&comments=1#s160292983980782

Not unlike the arrogance of dems, this elite republican arrogance is disgusting! The voters of Delaware have the say over who is elected in their state, NOT the NRSC or the RNC!

You did very, very well, Paulcy. But I con do better.

a-hem...

I unclog my nose in your direction, sons of a window dresser. So, you think you could outclever us french folks with your silly, knees-bent, running-about, advancing behavior? I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy-leather, second-hand, electric donkey bottom biters.
English bed-wetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing; you tiny brained wipers of other peoples’ bottoms.

She has already raised 200k from around the country. I gave her a Sawbuck. It was worth it to read the comments on her site. I hope she raises a million bucks today. Just to P.O. Rove the RINO.

What a failure of leadership by Cornyn. Yesterday he wouldn’t committ to helping O’Donnell, then last night he stood silent as it was leaked that the NRSC wouldn’t help her, now he says they’ll stand behind her and give her funds. Too late.

Bret Bair of FNC started the rumor based on anonymous staffers high up in the GOP.

I suspect it is either some “Melman”s who fear conservatives, or Rove himself who is trying to save face for the Castle falling so soundly.

Think about it folks, Rove himself said anything over 5 points spread is practically a mandate these days.

“Delaware is a small state. Enough money in O’Donnells coffers can do a whole lot of good there. Much more good then the millions being spent elsewhere like CA”

Bingo, we have a winner!

I will contribute more to that race than any other.
