Actually, my side won this one.

I’m not aligning myself with the RINOs, just pointing out that the organization that is spreading this BS is Leftist, not RINO.

Christine, even though we love her, has not been investigated fully so its bound to happen. I think that is what Rove was is concerned about.

If she turns out to be a mess, as Rove is concerned about, then it will hurt the credibility of the Tea Party. I pray that doesn’t happen.

I WANT Christine to be successful, too and I hope Rove is wrong but he is not the enemy and folks here shouldn’t trash him the way they are doing.

I watched Mr. Rove's initial comments, he certainly seemed highly agitated, seemingly much more than just being "concerned".

In all the times I have seen him on-camera in the past, I can't remember ever seeing him that agitated (or even mildly animated) about any Democratic candidate and/or their background/electability.

Clearly Mr. Rove could have voiced his "concerns" in a much more rational manner (if it was necessary to even voice them in public at all).

These groups make these accusations all the time, especially where campaign funds are used for legitimate personal expenses. They seldom turn out to be anything but the damage is done and the media can use the accusations to paint the victim as guilty.

It was smart for O’Donnell to back out of the national news spots with cr@p like this floating around. This will be put to rest quickly and in a week or two Christine can come back out into the national spotlight with these false accusations either proved or debunked.

I am so sure that after this watchdog group investigates all the shenanigans and shady dealings concerning Obama’s campaign contributions before he was elected (and even NOW??), that they’ll have plenty of time to investigate Christine’s contributors.
Right?? Right??? Beuller????

The left and the RINOs are trying awfully hard to smear this woman, who's attractive and a bit unconventional.

Sound familiar?

I wonder why? If she's as awful as they say, they don't need to say anything at all, just get out of the way.

But it looks to me like they're overplaying their hand, as usual.

Everyone has seen this game before. I would say that much of the anger that has led to the Tea Party first surfaced during the election, when the media and the RINOs and the left all jumped on the smear Sarah Palin bandwagon. That didn't work out too well for them then, and it's not going to end any better the second time around.

“Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington” Wonder who funds them. Are their finances in order. I smell a former member of the Jude Rat.

SOROS. This is run by former Kerry operatives and libDem operatives. A leftwing group that stirs up headlines of Repubs in ethics problems. They released the Foley tapes.

Yep. Remember how well ‘Troopergate’ worked against Sarah. If people want to get sidetracked with unimportant ‘nothing-burgers’ then so be it. Meanwhile, the country is going down the socialist tubes and unless some serious changes are made PRONTO we are all screwed. Go Christine!!

Eh, is anyone shocked? She wasn’t a threat when she didn’t have the money. Now, like Palin, she has the money, so they will try to take her down through litigation.

Pray for her that she can fight through this Soros lead lawfare.

Rove may not be the enemy, but he certainly has not yet given a fair and balanced assessment of this race. He has focused on her “baggage” with little or no specifics.

The media apparently aired this baggage and the Delaware voters shrugged it off.

His assessment should have included at least a reference to her opponent’s baggage and looniness(Coons). He also did not need to be so vociferous. His whole demeanor would lead one to believe that there is an interesting backstory, and wonder if he has some unreported/unknown interest in this contest.

The establishment Republicans underestimated the aniti-incumbent mood, and have failed to recruit what the voters considered to be an attractive candidate(in several states).

Castle’s voting record seems to have been quite objectionable to the Republican voters, GOP should have known this and recruited a Washington outsider with less baggage.

No, Rove is the enemy.

She ran 6 years ago, and only now these things are being revealed-why?

Castle was a parasite living off the taxpayer for 45 years!

By the way, any comments from Rove about 'M' threatening the Senate majority in Alaska?

His attacks on her were due to the fact that she beat his 'boy' Castle.

Castle wasn't going to face any opposition, thank God for O'Donnell who stepped forward and defeated him.

We see how gracious he is in defeat-another useless Rino.

That’s great. I donated a couple times before the primary. I think that O’Donnell has a legit shot because the people are behind her - and all the usual suspects are lining up in opposition. CO would not be beholden to them - she’ll be beholden to the (good) people of DE and the USA that backed her. This is as much a battle with the entrenched propagandists in the media - trying to smear her in untoward, activist fashion - as it is with the marxist w. a beard Coons.
