Ms. O'Donnell, welcome to what so many Americans are having to deal with, for this it does not make her a bad person or a bad politician. In every case there is a reason people don't or can't pay bills, where is her husband?Lokk at all the other many attributes she brings to the table. Go girl go!

First you repeal the trash, then you rebuild the country to were it should have been. This should give all you haters plenty of time to relocate to whichever socialist, facist or marxist country that will take in crooked whiners as yourselves. Surely you couldn't stand living in freedom & commom sense from here on.

Say goodbuy to the house, senate & president in 2012. Say goodbuy to all the socialist crap that has been jammed down America's thoat. You say you want specifics? The people of America that love thier country are about to take it back from the socialist, muslim loving, illegal alien loving trash that are trying to destroy the best place on earth. obummer would have never been elected had it not been for the cheating & running mccain who is just another progresive liberal posing as a Repub like lindsey graham & other posers who will all be done away with in time. Term limits are coming soon.

Astonished? You can attribute some of the awakening due to alternative media giving the proletariat the "other side of the story". aka internet/talk radio/fox news, etc...The sources that socialists like schumer and co. want to stifle with legislation like the "fairness doctrine".

It is astonishing that this could happen in Delaware. The polling firm for which I worked for years did a great deal of polling in Delaware. Because of its small size in terms of geography and population, personal satisfaction with elected officials tends to run high. Everyone has a chance to meet all their elected officials at one time or another - during a campaign or when in office. So these officials tend to be temperate folks in politics as well as in temperament. Biden isn't all that liberal and Castle all that conservative. So, for someone proudly from the fringe to have a chance to upend a member of the political establishment is quite stunning. I can't help but think Castle's age is really working against him. But, still, when a state such as Connecticut had a sure winner in Rob Simmons but, instead,is opting for the wife of a professional wrestling magnate, I guess anything can happen.

I think I can answer some of this about give us our country back. it is now being exposed that voter fraud of massive proportions has been visited upon america especially in the swing states. It tipped the balance of power illegally. The tip of the spear for this fraud was ACORN. You can learn about it by reading an expose' by Anita Moncreath at emerging corruption. Yes we want our country back, a country that doesn't have at its voter base the 1 in 6 Americans who are on the govt. dole and vote a straight democrat ticket.....early and often.

McNamara31, that's the problem with the Party of Noers and the lunatic fringe, otherwise known as Tea Partiers--they can't be specific. Pesident Obama and the Democrats have been asking them to be specific for more than 18 months now. But all they can come up with is "No." Progressive they are not,never have been and never will be. That's their credo.

Hancock ...For once be specific. State facts. What in JamesMurphy's "give us our country back translation" is not totally factual. Tell us….. Because that’s exactly what's coming from the GOP. It's no secret..It’s what they represent.

Since I live in DE she has my ear and my vote. Mike Castle has had more than 1 chance and has not much to show for his years in politics. I am not voteing for any lazy incumbents.

True the Democrats might lose the Senate in November, but the House--not a chance. As for theelections in 2012, one trusts that sanity reigns and that President Obama is returned for a further term. Anything that would "give us our country back" (translation: no health care coverage for tens of millions of Americans, lower than ever taxes for the rich, little or no regulation of out-of-control banks and cowboy oil companies. Anyone who looks forward to such reactionary behavior is in need of a good psychiatrist

This year's political contests look like the NFL training sessions- a bunch of rookies running around saying, wow! wouldn't just be neat if I could play in the NFL.. We've tried this 'rookie' play before with confirmed non-politicians and it has not gone so well.

Regular Americans!!! who the hell are these regular Americans, a bunch of racists and bigots, is that what this country has become? You regular Americans couldn't describe any part of the constitution or bill of rights if your life depended on it, but you want to take your country back. Yeah, back to 1860. Repeal, Repeal, Repeal, that's your battle cry. Repeal medicare, social security, the civil rights act, wall street reform and de-regulation, oh while were at it lets Drill Baby Drill. Unfortunately for most Americans they have no clue what a depression really is, I thank God my Irish Grandmother and Aunt taught me and my siblings very well as to what happens/happended in a depression, but we are too far remvoed the the 1920's and the entitled/selfish generation don't have a clue, maybe they need first hand experience. I hope the senior citizens of this country collecting Social Security and Medicare think real hard before they pull that lever in haste, they will for the most part of them live to regret it. 28 years of de-regulation has ruined this country, we don't make anything and they outsource everything they possibly can, lets see how much money we can make and scre the working man in the process. The Tea Pary is not a grass roots revolutiion, it's merely a group of frustrated old white people that are pissed off because McCain lost (God knows unemployment would be in triple digits by now, if he had won)and there's a ----- in the White House. I sure hope the younger generation doesn't acquire their parents and grandparents bigotry and racism.
