A watchdog group says it plans to ask authorities in Delaware to investigate Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's finances.

Nothing more than a diversionary tactic that will go nowhere. The thing is now, she’s got plenty of money to get her message out and fight these smears.
For a race she’s supposed to lose, there’s a lot of fear out there.
They rarely go after dems or libs. If they do, they typically put out press releases condemning the actions or activities they deem unethical, but don't bring legal action. That is reserved for Repubs only.
They call themselves "non-partisan". They're about as non-partisan as Obummer.
Whose partner in JET Blue is ..... Mitt Romney.
“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”
Isn’t there else you need to be?
How exactly are you defining “judenrat”? There is only one meaning - the Jewish leaders who were appointed by the Nazis to run the ghettos. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/judenrat.html
“I smell a former member of the Jude Rat.” What does that mean?
funny how these groups are oblvious to bama raising hundreds of millions from unknown sources, such as unsigned “gift” cards and phoney names .
don’t have a dog in this fight, but did she get the 6 million she sought in the wrongful termination/emotional stress claim?
Elect her to the Senate and use the Dem Party/Rangel model to investigate.
Talk about it for a few years. Talk about filing complaints for a few years. Investigate for a few years. Negotiate settlement terms for a few years. Play the gender (race) card. Talk about all the things you've done for your constituents, while still running for office.
This is such crap coming from a party who is continually redefining corruption.
Wake me up when someone finds the contract with the devil that O'Donnell signed with her own blood.
This “Watchdog Group” is run by Melanie Sloan, who is quoted in the article. From Wikipedia:
“Sloan received her B.A. and J.D. from the University of Chicago[2]
Prior to starting CREW in 2003, Sloan served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia where, from 1998-2003, she successfully tried cases before dozens of judges and juries. Before becoming a prosecutor, Sloan served as Minority Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, working on criminal justice issues for then-Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI). Sloan also served as Counsel for the Crime Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by then-Representative Charles Schumer (D-NY). There, she drafted portions of the 1994 Crime Bill, including the Violence Against Women Act. In 1993, Sloan served as Nominations Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, under then-Chairman Joseph Biden (D-DE).[3]
Sloan has published in the Yale Law and Policy Review, and numerous other publications.[4]
Sloan serves as legal counsel for former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson and his wife, retired CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson[20], whose then-classified covert identity was disclosed, leading to the CIA leak grand jury investigation and the trial of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby in United States v. Libby (see Plame affair). Sloan is one of the attorneys representing the Wilsons in their civil lawsuit against former and current officials of the George W. Bush administration (Plame v. Cheney).
Agreeing with the Bush administration, the Obama Justice Department has argued the Wilsons have no legitimate grounds to sue.[21] On the current justice department position, Sloan, stated: “We are deeply disappointed that the Obama administration has failed to recognize the grievous harm top Bush White House officials inflicted on Joe and Valerie Wilson. The government’s position cannot be reconciled with President Obama’s oft-stated commitment to once again make government officials accountable for their actions.”[21]
When Sloan was a guest on Hardball with Chris Matthews in December 2006, she spoke openly about many details in the Libby trial. Following her appearance on the show, she drew a strong warning from Judge Reggie Walton. Walton admonished Sloan and stated that “the Court would not tolerate this case being tried in the media.”[22]”
Good post, bump.
I understand your view, but here’s another problem Rove has. What if she loses because of the non-scandals or ‘mini-scandals’ he cited? What if little else comes out and Coons beats her? Rove would be at fault. The only way Rove comes out clean is if she’s exposed in some Rezko-level scandal. Otherwise, he might as well be Alec Baldwin’s drinking buddy.
From wikipedia:
Donors to CREW include such liberal groups as George Soros’ Open Society Institute, Democracy Alliance, Service Employees International Union, the Arca Foundation, and the Gill Foundation.
Enough said.

all I needed to know
You cut right through the BS as usual! Thank you.
In an article she commented that she had run out of money to pursue the lawsuit. But it was also not going well for her in court, since ISI had evidence to substantiate that they fired her for cause and her lawsuit depended on her difficult-to-substantiate claim that she had been fired solely because she was a woman.
I was referring to the Nazi appointed Jewish “leaders” who assisted the Nazis in, among other things, inventorying the possessions of Jews who were being “relocated to the east”. It is reputed in some circles, and you may well disagree, that a certain Hungarian born financier assisted in these activities during the Nazi occupation of Hungary and may have been well rewarded for his efforts.
I used the wrong term. My German is deficient. I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry.
Soros funded.
Just CNN repeating smears as headlines.
What - she went bowling?
In the article - they claim “in 2009, she wasn’t running for anything!” with quite a huff. Read to the bottom - “she has run for the senate 3 times in last 5 years” what are they looking for - the 24 hours she wasn’t running?
CNN position is this - “Government steals trillions from US taxpayer - not news. Republican upstart mischarges $20 of gas money - national news”.
Too bad neither the left nor CNN have any credibility.
Some people don’t seem to want to believe that.
Those that pursue those types of claims/allegations had better have their stuff together...Otherwise they are wasting their time and money.
