Realistically.

Then I'm going to say "None of the above". IMO he was interested only in being re-elected.

Oh oh Christine...........................

Wasn't that used against her in the primary?

what works in a primary is very very different from what works to win a general election, as you are aware.

I think the financial portion of it was used late in the campaign, but the Satanist / whatever, only came out on Friday after Bill Maher played the clip of her on his show. He's said he's going to release one per week of his 22 or 28 interviews. Too funny.

Did the Tea Party exist in 2002?

Tea Party Leader Lashes Out Against Christine O'Donnell: "She's a Loser"
The Maine state coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots has expressed a very low opinion of the Tea Party backed O'Donnell. Are there rifts in the movement?
September 20, 2010 |

Andrew Ian Dodge the leader of the Tea Party in Maine has some bad news for O'Donnel. He doesn't like her. The opinions of O'D is spreading. However, Maine doesn't endorse candidates but it doesn't change their opinion.
More dishes flying.

Dodge also takes issue with O'Donnell's status as an "outsider." He explains: "Alvin Green is an outsider. [Carl] Paladino, who has never run for anything, is an outsider." O'Donnell has run four times for national office and lost. "She's not an outsider," he says. "She's a loser." Dodge notes that while it hasn't made national headlines, there is a reasonable and healthy discussion inside the tea party movement about whether O'Donnell deserves national support.

Dick Armey on Alan Colmes' radio show said:

When the social conservatives and the economic conservatives work well together is when they work with a common resistance to the growth of the power of the state. And what happened was there was a small cadre of very strongly assertive people on the social issues side that were saying "let's expand the power of the state" in order to impose our values on the community.

And you do not ... my point is very simple: you live a righteous life, you're an encouragement to other people; [but] use the state to impose it and you're a tyrant.

Not that far back, no.

Three cheers for Armey!

Now it's time for people like Armey to get into the Republican Party platform items stating that the GOP does not in any fashion support the imposition of religious or other sectarian views through law.

If I saw that, I might even think about voting for one again.
