Christine O'Donnell's victory in Delaware is the equivalent of the shot heard around the world.
It shows that Sarah Palin will gallop to the Republican nomination in two years if the current seething anger in the party of Lincoln continues.
Who will stop Palin now with the Republican right in such a fired up, throw the bums out mood?
Mitt Romney, not on your Nellie?
Newt Gingrich? Last century's man.
O'Donnell's victory is far more significant than that of Joe Miller in Alaska. It occurred in a blue state where moderate Republicans long held sway.
She deposed Michael Castle, the very epitome of the establishment Republican party, a long time moderate who seemed a perfect fit for the vacant senate seat.
Along with Sharon Angle's victory in Nevada, it shows that the Republican right wing is transcendent that no candidate is too extreme for them and that the party has lurched far more to the right than anyone believed.
Back home in Alaska Sarah Palin may well be measuring her prospects for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if this continues.
As I have written here before it could well happen.

How can she pay a tax bill when she is unemployed. I know use her campaign funds (that's if there is any funds remaining after she pays her rent and fuels up her broomstick).

Maybe she can use the 1.2 million dollars to pay her mortgage and student loans.

In three days she's taken in over $1.2 million & counting, while obama & biden had a skype conference with Castle on Wed. the 16th. Hmm Castle is a Repub.???

Recriminations? maybe. But look at how much fun we're having in the meantime. The septic comments, the bitter attitudes. The election may end up a gimme with all the strokes, heart attacks & not tonight honey, I got a horrible headache going around, there may be no liberals left by Nov.

Don't worry Paddy she will eventually Palin to insignificance. When the recriminations begin after November who will be blamed for the GOP's failure to take control of the congress.

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dummer...the 2 party same agenda mikey mouse show and spare change they no longer believe in... aw shucks. The bulk of the unwashed American (sic) masses thinks that choice means eating at McDoggy's and going for Coke or next door at Burger Piggy and "choosing" the Pepsi juice. No wonder the xiodons own the political machine and everything that goes with it. The US absolutely deserves the Palin dame...but does the rest of the planet for goodness sake?

Congratulations for Ms O Donnell... not indeed for your tea making abilities rather for landing on the coveted list of the US's most corrupt politicians. Now we can look forward to complete insanity when the Alaska woman that can see Russia from her outhouse takes the White house. It can only get better as tea floods the land and Mad Hatters breed like rabbits.
"Adding Ms. O'Donnell to the list was an easy call. It has been years since she had a steady job, and instead has been embezzling funds to finance her personal expenses. Ms. O'Donnell has been living at her campaign headquarters and having her campaign cover the rent, a practice prohibited by the Federal Election Commission.
"Why get a job when you can run for office and illegally have others finance your lifestyle?," said Melanie Sloan, CREW Executive Director. "It is astonishing that as a candidate for federal office, Ms. O'Donnell appears to be stealing brazenly from her campaign contributors."
Ms. O'Donnell also has a tenuous relationship with the truth. For years, she routinely claimed to have a college degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University; in reality she finally received her diploma a scant two weeks ago. Further, she has claimed to have won two counties in her race against Joe Biden in 2008; in reality, she won none.
"Ms. O'Donnell has no qualms about lying whenever it suits her purposes," said Sloan. "Americans have a right to expect elected officials to act with honesty and integrity. Sadly, Ms. O'Donnell epitomizes the antithesis of those values."

I will take these two against the two idiots we have in the White House now, Obama and Joe. These socialists want to ruin America and are doing a pretty good job so far.
Have you heard the two speak out lately, Obama with his da's and uh's and Bite Me is one big gaffe.

Have you heard O'Donnell talk? She's got the IQ of a turnip. If Palin is a runner up for Miss Alaska, O'Donnell would be Little Miss Kindergarden.
