Christine O'Donnell not a witch, but she is Democrats trump card in November

Now that Christine O'Donnell has stated that 'I am not a witch" in her latest television ad the question is what is she?

She is the poster girl on the left for the wild and wacky side of the tea party and she is being used to paint the tea party as out of the mainstream extremists.

The left can't believe their luck with O'Donnell. Since she emerged the polls are showing that the Democrats are starting to edge closer to the Republicans in the November election.

Candidates like O'Donnell are energizing the Democratic base says the new Washington Post/ABC poll.

Christine O'Donnell is the Democrat's best calling card.

I mean what candidate in history has ever had to say "I am not a witch" as the opening line in their first major television ad.

It can only go downwards from there. This is the equivalent of the 'have you beaten your wife lately" question

By connecting Republicans to some of her more kooky comments Democrats have begun sowing doubts about the Republican party to the Tea Party.

The Tea Party may be about to spill some of its hot rhetoric all over Republican candidates and cost them major votes in November.

It was Karl Rove who said that "anger is not a strategy'.

That may well be proven true in November.

Maloney you think I only blog here!you've got tickets on yerself.Mman! Is it not sad that some people love to wear uniforms and never join up. They live out their military fantasies without putting their life on the line,it's an insult to the men and women who protect their country.

Sean lad, sadly they just don't make uniforms like the Germans did back in the early days of WWII, the tailoring, the material, the brass, the epaulets, the battle caps, the iron cross, were unmatched by any other nations except for the Swiss Guard. I think Haile Selasse of Ethiopia deserves honorable mention for best use of ostrich plumes in a military uniform.

Methinks, your liberal bias is showing --in this article and others on your site. However, I have to agree, it seems the conservatives manage to shoot themselves in the foot at the most critical times, therefore, giving the election to the very people they loathe! Oh, well--maybe 2012?

We have another one Mman. One Rich(or is it Reich)Iott dressing up as a Nazi and then to top it all off he makes a donation of $500 to the GOP and lists his occupation as a soldier. Mman you'll have to educate some of your teaparty pals to take the teabag out of the cup before they drink it. Christine,Rich where is it all going to end?

Can't say too much about Christine O'Donnell but isn't her opponent a declared Marxist? Why isn't that being reported? Again, our main stream media "selects" what they want to report. Talk about biased reporting. That's why some cable (especially Fox News) has the best ratings. Wouldn't it be funny if Christine O'Donnell wins - it could happen.

That's right Maloney, they are not used to hearing the other side of the story, aka: The truth. It bewilders them, they get angry and confused and lash out with their silly arguments, then stomp off in a huff. They have been raised as liberals as children, always hearing conservative=bad. So it really shatters their view on life when a contrary view is intelligently and factually shown. Their first reactions are like the child who has been told there is no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Even I was a liberal until the age of 18 and realized the government was taxing me into serfdom and wanted to use me for cannon fodder....But you do have party apparatchiks here, they are here to keep order in their ranks by dutifully attacking anyone who dares say a discouraging word against the liberal status quo. You have to recognize that type for what they are: Shills and ringers. I have caught a couple of them confised as to their identities, my swag is that they are ic editors under different aliases......pretty sad actually.

cpflann..why the rush to get off the obama saga. The only thing he told the truth about in his run for Potus was change. Everything else he said was pure hogwash. The one good thing about obama is he has got the attention of the silent majority, finally. Like I said before, voting present doesn't count. Good job monsoon. If I was cpflann, I wouldn't want to talk about SAY IT AINT SO JOE.

lol, oh I do have a conception of how "things are done in delaware". Unlike a vast majority, I do pay attention to what kinds of prevaricators and crooks your state sends to DC to make laws over the rest of us.

This is such a waste of time. You have no conception on how things are done in Delaware. This is our Senate seat and the voters of Delaware will decide who gets to represent us. Maybe Christine will get to fill in for Palin on Fox News and finally have a real job.
