Don’t forget Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Cynthia McKinney, Blago, heck, I could go on for hours...
uh......YES!!!!!!
And I'll bet both of them can speak circles around the author of this article.
So true. This article was just juvenile. I hope O’Donnell can win, but I when I think about a state that elected the ‘second in line’ to the presidency (lol) all those years...
What part of this is flip flopping?
Anybody else notice how many negative posts come from 2nd? Especially on female candidates...
I’ve never noticed that?....he’s one or our best posters IMO
The author blogs at a site I’ve never heard of before: Sarah Palin has been a governor, major party nominee for VP, energy commission chairwoman, mayor and city councilwoman. She is currently a NYT best-selling author, Fox News contributor, $75K a speech speaker and potential president of the United States. Not much of a comparison, is it?
I predict this guy is going to need a case of Depends on the evening of November 2nd!
I agree, somewhat, that she should be taken to task and investigated if she used campaign contributions for ‘personal residences’, but let’s let her stand in line behind hundreds of Democrats who’ve done the same thing.
I think then , that going through all those Dems, they’ll inally get around to investigating this minor offense of hers, around the year 2027.
ROTFLMAO ... [snort, wheeze] ... Hahahahaha!
ROTFLOL.
Do you think he's under a spell?

Candidate Salary
The candidate may receive a salary from his or her campaign committee only under the following conditions:
The salary must be paid by the principal campaign committee; The salary must not exceed the lesser of
• the minimum annual salary for the federal office sought or what the candidate received as earned income in the previous year;
Individuals who elect to receive a salary from their campaign committees must provide income tax records and additional proof of earnings from relevant years upon request from the Commission; Payments of salary from the committee must be made on a pro-rata basis (i.e., a candidate may not receive a whole year’s salary if he or she is not a candidate for an entire twelve-month period);
Incumbent federal officeholders may not receive a salary payment from campaign funds;
and
The first payment of salary shall be made no sooner than the filing deadline for access to the primary election ballot in the state in which the candidate is running for office.
Salary payments may continue until the date when the candidate is no longer considered a candidate for office or until the date of the general election or general election runoff. For special elections, payments may continue from the date that the special election is set until the date of the special election.
Aw,hell, 2DVet, the only reason I was so polite in my last reply was because I thought this was posted, VERY uncharacteristically, by YOU!
I didn’t see the source until later.
For a moment I was very disappointed.
I’m okay now.
>>> Can Christine O’Donnell actually Win?
The article is obnoxiously snide about it, but the underlying thesis isn’t wrong. She leans to the bizarre side. This would be a problem in any state but moreso here.
Chris Matthews says she will win, but Matthews is also a loon. The truth is it would be fun if she did win just for deflating the Delaware blue expectation, but there remains little reason to think this will happen. Yuppie smug self-satisfied Delaware isn’t pioneer Alaska.
It’s Delaware. A state that again and again elects Joe Biden a senator obviously isn’t overly concerned with the mental health of its federal legislators.
She can, and just might win!
maybe she can win.......I pray and I hope.....wouldn’t that be a night to celebrate?
