In their defense, the state and national Republican parties have (previously at least) basically disowned O'Donnell. I find it a litle odd that Republican primary voters in the state didn't strategically vote for the candidate who would give them the best chance to eliminate Democratic control of the Senate, but I guess they just didn't think that far ahead.

They will rue the day. The Tea Party's momentum is growing exponentially. Before this is all over, the Tea Party will have "bought and paid for" the Republican Party in the same way that the radical Left George Soros organizations has taken over the Democratic Party.

Pick a side, since the polarization is assured, and moderation in these times really has no use. The Tea Party wants to reverse the excessive government spending, taxation, and inexorable debt. The Democrats appear to want to increase the spending, ignore the borrowing limit, and bankrupt the country so they can remake us into their idea of a socialist utopia.

Try to find her appearance on the Bill Maher show. This lady is great for some chuckles.

Here's her old appearance on Politically Incorrect, saying lying is bad. So bad she wouldn't even lie to Hitler if he was at her door, and she was hiding desperate Jews from him. She says God would magically intervene so she wouldn't have to lie.

That's a bit extreme.

I mean - I like the idea of Senator O'Donnell not lying to us -- but come on...

Unless she means that she'd shoot Hitler before answering, in case the lightening strike from above is a little late.

By the way -- that was the answer -- arm all the Jews, then there is no Holocaust. The Nazi's knock on one guy's door and they are hit from all directions -- across the street, first and second floors -- done deal.

Moderation in these times is exactly what is needed. Every Tea Party candidate that wins only helps prolong the time until the GOP gets back in power.

The GOP just definitively lost the Delaware Senate seat. Too bad, the moderate GOP candidate had a good chance of taking it. Tea Party O'Donnell has zero chance.

Congrats, Tea Party! Enjoy recalling that primary victory during the next six years of a democrat representing you in the Senate

I'm all for the moderation of Democratic positions...

I don't care whether you agree with her positions or not, how does one vote for someone who has such a checkered past? I mean, forget the crazy statements she's made, the lady's been a professional senate candidate for the better part of five years now. How is that some sort of tea party insurgent?

I dunno. Ask Dick Armey?

Meanwhile, out west, Sharon Angle asked Harry Reid for a debate, he agreed, a date was chosen - and she now backed out. She also denies bringing up stuff she's publically brought up when questioned about it. Hard to deny video of her saying stuff, but she doesn't have a problem with it

I do have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Palin running for office, Sharon Angle keeps the fun coming, but Christine O'Donnell is going to be pure comedy gold.
