I hadn't really been following this Senate race until now, but I just watched her little victory speech, and there was something incredibly familiar about her...

And then YouTube worked it's magic and showed me this suggestion:

Ah ha! I used to watch Politically Incorrect just about every night, and she was a frequent quest, as seen in this video from 2001.

I have the funniest feeling this media darling is going to win the general election.

    I don't know if she will win the general election. This is Delaware we are talking about. Plus, the GOP is not very happy she won and will not back her financially.

    I know people on this board like to talk down the tea party but they are making results. It is interesting to see how a "grass-root political movement" group can operate effectively without any overall leadership.

    I know it kinda doesn't make sense for her to win in November, but this has been a weird year. A lot of people have been whipped up by the rhetoric she uses. That rhetoric, plus good looks and charisma is what got Scott Brown elected in MA, and Christine O'Donnell has all of that. Scott Brown went from nobody to superstar in about a month. Democrats are not very motivated this year, and I can't exactly blame them.

    and brown has been more moderate so he has angered some of those that put him there.

    I really think what pushed Scott Brown to victory was the fact that Martha Coakley though Curt Schilling is a Yankees fan. That is a major sin in a sports crazy town like Boston and was a sharp contrast to Brown's working man image.

    It's been an interesting campaign and it hasn't even really started yet. to be honest, I think that Republicans lost this one for themselves.

    They scared up so much fear and hysteria with misinformation and sensationalism, thinking they could just scare people into voting for their own candidates... what happened was they created a whole voting block of terrified old white people who actually believed things like "Death Panels" and "The Government making your doctor's decisions" and "Re-Education camps" and "He's a secret Muslim."

    Those people weren't content just voting for a palatable moderate, they wanted an extreme right winger, they wanted a De-volutionary. They wanted to go back to the "good old days" although they had trouble deciding when those good days were.

    Sadly, they've ended up with a bunch of un-electable wing nuts. Democrats might lose a handful of seats like the party in power ALWAYS does in a mid-term election, but it's not going to be the blood bath that it could have been if Republicans hadn't spent so much time trying to scare the people into voting for them.

    Oh yeah... this whole stupid thing... http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010 ... ankee-fan/

    That was a factor, yes. The Republican media also capitalized on her easily misrepresented statement that the terrorists were "gone" from Afghanistan though she was referring to recent government and military reports about Al-Qaeda... http://mediamatters.org/research/201001140023

    She wasn't a great public speaker, which is a problem when the public aren't great thinkers.

    I don't pay a great deal of attention to American politics. You seem to be worse at it than we are.

    I did see Christine O'Donnell on the news last night and wondered how people like her get voted in. Is it now compulsory in the US to be as mad as a march hare to get voted in?

    Yes, and it scares the shit out of me that people like this can get that close to power in the "greatest nation". Just sick.

    It disturbs me on a daily basis to see educated people who sincerely - and passionately - believe people like O'Donnell and Palin are the answer to America's problems.

    If they're the answer to the problem, then I have seriously misunderstood the problem.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Where are all the tea party people on this thread? The one's who can see Nov from their house?

    Christine O' Donnell, "By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our defense"

    She has also argued that West Point "has had to lower their standards ... in order for men and women to compete."

    “The fact that Christine O’Donnell believes women in our service academies ‘cripple the readiness of our defense’ makes her unfit to be a United States Senator,” said DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan. “And the fact that Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin would put their name behind a candidate that believes women who serve our country ‘cripple the readiness of our defense’ make them unfit to be commander-in-chief.”

    O'Donnell has tons of interesting comments like the ones above-- :thumbdown:

    Right here.
    I don't even know why I waste my time and energy on this forum. This is laughable to say the least. When did she say this ? Back in the 90"s ? :roll: Im willing to bet that it's taken out of context.Who cares anyway? I love it when all you libs come out and start pointing fingers like you or anyone else is perfect. No one is perfect because we are all human beings. People mis speak and sometimes make mistakes especially when we are young and nieve .The fact remains IMO she is a better candidate then Mike Castle, Someone who voted for Cap and trade, didn't want to repeal the healthcare bill. Castle is not a consevative. He's a rhino. A liberal (R.) Him and others like Lindsey Graham,J.Mcain,K.Rove.G.Bush, are what destroyed the Republican party. Candidates Like O'Donnell,Paul,Miller,DeMint,Rubio,Scott,Angle are what's going to save it and return it to it's conservative principals. It's candidates like those that are going to save this country from turning into something that America is not.



    There is no question that there are flaws in the O’Donnell campaign and in the candidate herself. However, we must understand that we don’t select the candidates; we only make choices between the existing ones. Unfortunately, we are not always going to find a Joe Miller to challenge the RINO. That is to say that we will not always have a candidate in which the ideology is packaged in someone who is politically savvy, has a compelling biography, an impeccable background, and a solid campaign organization. Elections are about choosing the best candidate who appears on the ballot. In Delaware, the choice is clear as day. I can certainly respect someone who finds difficulty with O’Donnell, or someone who disagrees with the political strategy of Senate elections. However, I cannot understand how any self proclaimed conservative can attempt to white wash Mike Castle’s dirty record of big government tyranny./quote]

    don't break your arm patting yourself on the back...

    this o'donnell is going to get smoked in the election. 33% of delaware is registered republican and she got barely half of that 33% who showed up at the polls to vote for her. unless she gets a lot of dems and independents she has not got much of a shot just by looking at numbers.....

    karl rove is right most of the time, and when he is saying she has not got much of a shot, he is probably right...

    You should never underestimate the results when a group of well educated and responsible people finally get fed up to the point that they turn to political activism. A lot of people are in denial of the Tea Party's impact.

    Shit, I didn't realize there was so much material to be used to mock Ms. O'Donnell. Maybe the Democrats won't fuck this one up after all.
