Free Republic

In all the noise coming out of Delaware, we shouldn't overlook the prime directive: Stop Obama and repeal the damage he's done. I have to say, I’ve resisted weighing in on the Delaware Republican primary since resuming life in the blogosphere, both because I’ve been busy writing about other things about which I know a whole lot more, and because it’s become so divisive that it’s gone off the charts.So the first thing I’d like to say about this particular primary is that I have no dog in the fight. Both the candidates have things in their records to recommend...

Tomorrow, the voters in seven states and the District of Columbia go to the polls to conclude the primary election season. The most closely-watched race on the ballot will be the race between long-time at-large liberal Republican Congressman Mike Castle and Tea Party-backed conservative insurgent Christine O’Donnell for the Republican nomination for the open Senate seat previously vacated by Joe Biden. ... The Castle-O’Donnell race has become perhaps the most divisive primary of this cycle within the conservative movement, for reasons I’ll explain in a moment. There are a couple of important questions at stake that are worth considering, which...

Court documents obtained Saturday by THE WEEKLY STANDARD reveal surprising new details about the gender discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Christine O'Donnell in 2005 against her former employer, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative non-profit based in Delaware.* O'Donnell, who is now challenging moderate congressman Mike Castle in the September 14 Delaware GOP Senate primary, sought $6.95 million in damages. In a court complaint, she extensively detailed the "mental anguish" she suffered after allegedly being demoted and fired because of her gender. And, although she didn't have a bachelor's degree until this year, O'Donnell implied she was taking...

The Ruling Class Hits Christine O'Donnell By Jeffrey Lord on 9.10.10 @ 6:09AM Breathes there a soul who doesn't love the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal? Who has not been delighted by National Review and its National Review Online? Well, yes, actually. Lots of souls, undoubtedly the finest of liberals and left-wingers in America. So to disagree with our friends at the WSJ or NRO is something we do in this space with some care. The Journal has lifted the editorial lamp to shine it on Delaware's Republican Congressman Mike Castle, engaged in what was once thought to...

Jim Geraghty over at National Review Online is now clearly in the Mike Castle camp, or at least carrying lots of water for him. http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/245596/whos-backstabbing-who-delaware As I recall, National Review endorsed John McCain over J.D. Hayworth. I don't recall any concerns mentioned about his Keating Five role or his widely reported temper tantrums. No, J.D., we were told, had all kinds of flaws. Hell, he even did an infomerical promoting federal grants, which would not have to be paid back. These, they concluded, were fatal flaws. All of McCain's disastrous positions and tactics over the years -- from his opposition...

In 9 days we have the chance to elect a Conservative Republican to the U.S. Senate seat held by Joe Biden. On September 14th there is a Special Election for the U.S. Senate in Delaware. There are two Republican candidates: Liberal RINO Mike Castle (who voted for Barack Obama's agenda in Congress 60% of the time) versus Conservative Republican tea party favorite, Christine O'Donnell. We here at the Tea Party Express have gone "all in" for Christine O'Donnell. A July 12-14 Rasmussen Reports poll had O'Donnell beating the Democratic candidate Chris Coons 41%-39% -- so we can win this race,...
