Tea Party's Christine O'Donnell 15 Points Behind Chris Coons

[^_^ 5,021]

I don't pick up this kinda info, online - I prefer TV for political news and slandering

You prefer TV? I can't say that surprises me.

But in case you feel like going right to the primary source itself - here is a scanned copy of the newspaper article that has sparked this little controversy, written by Coons himself. It's a PDF.

This is my favorite quote from the comments -

'An NPR moderator has removed this comment because it does not adhere to the discussion guidelines'

Whoop!

You prefer TV?

For news? Absolutely ! I have a 'media pit' in my home office, with 4 small tv's - news running constantly. Many times during the day it's mute, but sometimes not I find more entertainment in comparing which network said what, it's fun to figure out 'the spin' in real time.

I've read that article more than once now and I just can't find the horror. Are we supposed to understand that gaining compassion and perspective is bad? Never mind.

The Tea Party crowd doesn't like it when people question America. Tea Party types try to never think at all, about anything, and do not trust (or understand) those who do.

They apparently are thinking about how to win elections and question Obama on everything.

Or was that another cryptic post I am supposed to know is sarcastic. You'd hope a post with generalizations would just be sarcastic.

With a name like Coons, he's a printing error away from disaster.

Is that because it is one letter different than a (American) beer-brand?

No.

Oof, looks like old Christine just lost the witch vote. I knew that'd come back to haunt her. She should really stop talking for a spell.

"Yes, this was 11 years ago she said that," said Reverend Selena Fox, the High Priestess & Senior Minister of the Circle Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting paganism and nature spirituality. "But the kinds of things she is saying now, saying 'well in high school you are with despicable characters' or some such thing, she is actually defaming Wiccans. Whether she intends to do that or not as a way to try and get herself out of this political problem she has created for herself, the fact is America really needs to be a place where you can celebrate diversity and practice your religion without getting ridiculed or defamed."

All this chatter about facial hair misses the point. The point is that there is no way in hell a Tea Party candidate with the endorsement of the Mama Grizzly Herself loses to a man who admits "questioning" America. Not in 2010. Not a chance.

I thought it was yet to be determined if she would put her full weight (and $$$$'s) behind O'Donnell. The question however has been asked, we shall see

She has endorsed her. That's all that really matters. Money isn't a problem for any non-Democratic candidate post Citizens United.

I will actually give Palin some credit on her support of candidates this cycle. She threw her suport behind candidates well ahead of the primaries, unlike most of the others who are courting the teabagger leadership position.
