Liberal Bill Maher stated, "I don't know how many times you've been here but it's always a good show when you're on."

In the early nineties Christine worked at the Republican National Committee developing the marketing strategy that then Chairman Haley Barbour (current Mississippi Governor) directly credited as having a key role in the historic '94 Republican Congressional sweep.
Christine serves as a marketing and media consultant to various clients such as Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, Natalia Tsarkova, the Vatican's first female portrait painter and non-profit organizations such as the World Education and Development Fund, a charity that provides scholarships to children in poor communities throughout Latin America.

DELAWARE BACKGROUND:
Democratic Senator Joe Biden was simultaneously reelected to the U.S. Senate and elected Vice President of the United States on November 4, 2008. Although Biden was sworn in for his seventh term on January 6, 2009, he tendered his resignation effective January 15 in preparation for taking office as Vice President on January 20, 2009.
On November 24, 2008, former Democratic Governor Ruth Ann Minner announced Biden would be replaced by Democrat Ted Kaufman, his former chief of staff, sometime in January 2009. He was subsequently sworn in on January 15. A special election for the remainder of the term, which expires on January 3, 2015, will be held in 2010. Kaufman announced that he will not be a candidate in the special election.
Popular former Republican Governor and U.S. Representative Mike Castle, who represents the state at large in the U.S. House, announced in October, 2009 that he would run for the seat. Christine O'Donnell, the Republican nominee who ran against and lost to Joe Biden in 2008, has announced that she will run again.
On the Democratic side, Vice President Biden's son, Beau Biden, the current Attorney General of Delaware who returned September 25, 2009 from serving in Iraq with the Delaware National Guard, has declined to run for the Democratic nomination. Instead, Newcastle County Executive Chris Coons is likely to be the Democratic candidate.
A poll taken September 30, 2009 showed Castle leading Biden by 47% to 42%. The same poll showed Biden leading O'Donnell 49% to 40%. Castle leads Biden in aggregate polling to date. A recent poll by Research 2000 shows Castle leading Coons by a 51% to 39% margin.
Barack Obama won Delaware with 62% of the vote in 2008.
The seat will be up for election again in 2014 for a full six-year term.
NOTE: GUL ENDORSES CHRISTINE O'DONNELL...MIKE CASTLE IS A PHONY, CAREER POLITICIAN WHO DISPARAGES THOSE WHO WANT OBAMA ELIGIBILITY INVESTIGATION.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
Christine O'Donnell hasn't held a steady job, if any job at all, since she ran as a write-in candidate in 2006. She carries campaign debt from year to year, won't work and doesn't pay her staff as promised or reimburse them for their expenses but does manage to reimburse her boyfriends for their expenses. She is quoted as saying that if she takes a job, she can't live off of campaign contributions.
ReplyDeleteShe carried debt to companies who worked with her 2008 campaign for over a year while she traveled the country, and apparently even went to the Middle East, all without being employed. She had to have a closed campaign announcement and even then she had an unpaid campaign staffer from 2008 removed from the event. She attached herself to the state party in 2008 when she won the nomination at the convention going as far as to use the state party headquarters as her campaign headquarters, and in 2010 she's acting like the state party outcast and disregarding the nomination process.
Instead of working between campaigns to pay off debt, she carries the debt into the next election cycle and uses donations she's getting now to pay off debts from 2008. She's runs her campaigns like a Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
And her 2010 campaign, to date, has consisted of blaming Castle and his "minions" for almost 20 years worth of her personal financial problems, calling Castle a RINO, and asking for money.
But the worst part about O'Donnell running again is that good conservatives with good values get conned by her every election cycle.
