There was a bit of silence on the other end of the phone when I told the woman that I gave to individual candidates ONLY during this election cycle, and also that I thought the party had not properly supported duly victorious primary candidates. <br /><br />Sorry, Mr. Steele, but you are not getting more cash from me for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-57052789423872932692010-11-06T21:20:11.625-04:002010-11-06T21:20:11.625-04:00NRSC called yesterday asking for money.

So who selected ..."It was the candidates"<br />So who selected the candidates?<br />I submit that those who think they can do better than O'Donnell should just throw their hat in the ring and have at it.<br /><br />I submit that Coons will be an effective tool for Obama from his first day in the Senate. That his record of raising taxes in New Castle will be far exceeded in Washington D.C., where there is not a single Democrat who is opposed to raising taxes. <br /><br />The voters of Delaware had a chance for the first time in years to send a decent person to Washington D.C., instead they sent an Obama tool, a Reid pet. I believe there will be a lot of voters who will regret that for a long long time.lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329025378677523718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-19221350045159849862010-11-06T11:48:17.810-04:002010-11-06T11:48:17.810-04:00PS: O'Donnell lost by over 15% of the vote.
...PS: O'Donnell lost by over 15% of the vote.<br /><br />You do realize how small Delaware is, right?<br /><br />27,000 votes is a killing.<br /><br />A total O'Donnell disaster...<br /><br />And frankly, in an effort to get rid of Boxer? <br /><br />I would have spent much more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-8158044128315450242010-11-06T11:46:02.926-04:002010-11-06T11:46:02.926-04:00LOL !

That Race was always a gift to Democrats, Obama - Biden - the Partisan Media were merely trying to highlight the horrid O'Donnell offering as a symbol for all of the GOP, and sadly in some arenas, it worked.<br /><br />This is sounding as delusional as the mighty EIB, who is merely sticking to a narrative out of pushing the fashion. It is isn't even close to reality, and the credibility is sinking.<br /><br />Time to move on, step back, regroup, and never pull another O'Donnell again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
