I’ve donated to her campaign twice. Today, I got a letter from her asking my husband and I for $2,400. She might as well of asked for 24 million, lol. I’ll try to send another $50. I really want her to win, but I wonder if it’s likely to happen.
Reports suggest that the lady has more than $2.5 million in her war chest yet she asks for more from the national senate campaign group and from ordinary citizens. I’m sorry folks, but she seems to be a bit of a grifter to me. She knows she’s going to lose, so she building up a war chest for the future, either to engage in more quixotic campaigns or more likely as the foundation of elevating herself to the status of Tea Party / conservative momma grizzly media star, like Palin. As Palin as demonstrated, it’s a great gig, leading to lucrative book deals, reality TV shows and mega buck speaking engagements. Let’s face it folks, Palin has forged the model for a new career path with potentially large economic payoff. There’s nothing wrong with that, but please don’t be too let down when Ms. O’Donnell retires a wealthy woman with absolutely no political accomplishments to show for except a proven ability to separate good hearted people and their money.
Is that you Coons?
Loan me $50.00
You make some good points. I made a mistake in my first post. She asked for $2,400 for one person and $4,800 for a couple. I got a call from her campaign last week asking for money. My number is unlisted which makes me wonder.
O’Donnell is not a grifter.
She has put everything on the line in this race.
Mrs. exit82 and I made our sixth donation last week, and we got the same letter.
If the NRSC released some money and ran an ad campaign for her, she wouldn;t be needing to ask for more money.
We here in DE really appreciate all that Freepers and others axcross the country have done to give to her.
But she will vote against Cap and Trade, and that benefits everyone.
She is running against Coons, Castle, Obama, Biden, the Democrat Party and the GOP Party, Karl Rove, Charles Karuthammer and many others.
I have seen her up close many times—she is the real thing.
She says” We are in this to win and to win big!”
In older days we called that moxie.
Now we call it guts.
There are easier ways to make a buck and to glom off of others.
This is the third campaign I have seen her in. And she is the same Christine.
This time, she wins, they lose.
Why would Obama and Biden be going to stump for Coons in DE if he wasn’t in trouble?
Why would Coons even bother debating her if he was really 15-20 points ahead.
Think!!!!!!!
I disagree. She has people to pay, whether it’s advisors or her commercial makers. Paying stations to run the commercials is a seperate expense. She’s not sitting on the war chest, I assure you.
I don’t know. I am still getting requests for money from Michelle Bachmann’s campaign....two letters in the last week and two phone calls. She has raised millions!! And only two weeks left! Something else is going on with these requests, this late.
I think they are adding a cushion for future use.
