We Won’t Have Christine O’Donnell To Kick Around Anymore
Tea Party darling, and spectacularly disastrous 2010 candidate for Senate in Delaware, Christine O’Donnell is saying she has no desire to run for office again:
Christine O’Donnell, the 2010 tea party-backed U.S. Senate candidate, said Thursday she would “rather slam my hand in a car door” than run another campaign this year, calling a rematch with U.S. Sen. Chris Coons “highly unlikely.”
But O’Donnell says in an interview that the right wing-movement, despite defeats this week, has been an overwhelming success.
“Moderate Republicans and RINOs are extinct,” said O’Donnell, adding that the tea party has made reducing the federal deficit and debt a part of the national conversation. “Because of the tea party upswing, candidates are more thoughtful about what the Republican Party stands for. I think the movement has been very successful.”
Her own campaign? Not so much.
Now if only we could say the same for a certain
half term governorI meantotal failureI mean very successful grifter.@OzarkHillbilly:
Palin won’t ever run for anything. She’s shrewd enough to realize that her poll numbers are abysmal, and even if they weren’t, she’s too lazy. Being a reality show starlet is a lot easier.
Also, she’s not a witch.
Yeah? She got the moon in her eyes.
They did that six years ago. Since then? Well, they’ve fumbled somewhat.
Fifteen years ago a movie version of a Christine O’Donnell – type would be derided as hackish, unbelievable cariciture. Some delusional uber-Lefty Norman Lear paranoid fantasy of how a Right Winger would behave.
Now she’s yesterday’s news. Last year’s model. Practically a RINO.
I thought that she married and found a job.
Fine way of explaining, and good post to take facts concerning my presentation subject, which i am going to deliver in school.
She is really nice on the eyes, a lot better than some other women in politics, whom I will not mention.
@Tyrell: Yes, and Henry Kissinger had nicer legs than Hitler.
@Tyrell:
If you like Mary Tyler Moore on the outside and Ted Baxter on the inside.
@ringhals: I have never seen pictures of either in shorts.
O’Donnell was a terrible candidate but this
is absolutely correct.
