    TEA PARTY GROUP UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSES CHRISTINE O'DONNELL
                     CALLS MIKE CASTLE A POTENTIAL ARLEN SPECTER
                                                                                                           

Philadelphia (August 18, 2010) -- The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC, the only federally registered Tea Party political action committee in the tri-state region, announced today that it has endorsed  

Christine O'Donnell for US Senate in the upcoming Delaware Republican Primary (September 14).  

 

The seat, vacated in 2009 by Vice President-elect Joe Biden, is also being sought by Congressman Mike Castle (R-DE).  Whoever wins the November general election will serve out the remaining years of Biden's term and will begin serving that term on November 3--thereby voting in the lame duck session of 111th Congress.

 

"We are confident Christine O'Donnell will beat Mike Castle in the upcoming primary," said PAC Vice President for Delaware, Kevin Street.  "Christine is a strong grassroots favorite.  While her opponent has the support of establishment types, Christine has the support of the people." 

 

In a recent Rasmussen poll, O'Donnell was beating her potential Democratic rival by several points.

 

"We were extremely impressed with Christine's ability to articulate her positions on the issues.  Her platform of smaller government, lower taxes, and free enterprise solutions mirrors our own.  She is an extremely gifted communicator who exudes warmth and charisma--that's why she received a unanimous endorsement at our August board meeting," said PAC President, Don Adams. 

 

"Although she won't be able to match multi-millionaire candidate Mike Castle dollar for dollar, she is beginning to raise serious money.  As our endorsed candidate Anna Little demonstrated in the New Jersey 6th Congressional District Republican Primary, money isn't always everything--sometimes, grassroots support is." 

 

Anna Little, who garnered unanimous Tea Party support, won her New Jersey primary by 84 votes despite being outspent 20-1 by her opponent. 

 

In primary contests so far, the Independence Hall Tea Party PAC, which only endorses congressional candidates, has won 4 out of 4 races in the New Jersey Primary (June 8) and 8 out of 10 races in the Pennsylvania Primary (May 10).

 

"Our PAC Board endorses the most viable conservative candidates," said Adams.  "Unfortunately, Mike Castle is not a conservative--in fact, he's a potential Arlen Specter."

The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC was formed in February, 2010 to assist federal candidates in the tri-state region (PA, NJ, DE) who share the organization's commitment to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and lower taxes. The PAC's website is currently under construction.

NOT GUILTY!

[MarkLevinFan]

Of what?

[brownsfan]

I say 99% of the whores in office now are potential Arlen Spectors.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

POTENTIAL ARLEN SPECTOR?.......Good one!

[Carry_Okie]

Unfortunately, Mike Castle is not a conservative--in fact, he's a potential Arlen Specter???

Profanity is forbidden on this forum.

[DelaWhere]

Yep, http://RedState.com also seems to think so... Hmmmmm

[ScottinVA]

If she were to beat Castle in the primary, what are her chances in the general? It is DE, after all.

Both O'Donnell and Castle are polling ahead of the Democrat.

The difference with this race is that the winner in November takes the seat immediately, and the conservative O'Donnell could be the critical 40th vote against Dem mischief during the lameduck session.

I assume you’re talking about Eric’s comments a few weeks ago that the deal was done..that Castle was going to give jup the seat to Beau Bided.. I’m surprised how little attention that has gotten..

[Drill Thrawl]

Iffy at best.

DE is a whacked state. Note some gems for this linky from Rasmussen.

"Fifty-four percent (54%) of all voters in Delaware regard Castle as a conservative"
"Fifty-five percent (55%) of Delaware voters approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president"

I’m not sure how serious to take the Tea Party folks, when they can’t grasp which candidate is better, McCain vs Hayworth, and shout it from the mountain tops.

If I’m missing something, fine, I’ll reassess my thoughts on it, but so far I am not impressed.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Here’s one vote for Christine, and a few bucks to boot.

It's an easy choice -

RINO who made the Ace of Spades on the most RINO list

OR

Christine's whose unflinching positions are:

Pro-Constitution - Pro-National Defense - Pro-Life - Pro-Family - Pro-Second Amendment - Pro-States Rights - Pro-Border Security - Pro-Free Market - Pro-Freedom - Anti-High Taxes - Anti-Big Government - Anti-ObamaCare. (Aren't these the values we said we are looking for?)

There’s just no convincing some people. It boggles the mind.

“I’m agreeing!...He’s way beyond Arlen Specter!

>>>“I’m agreeing!...He’s way beyond Arlen Specter!<<<

LOL, Guess my Gadsden flag waved across my screen...

Seriously, Castle would be our worst nightmare - his latest is he seriously wants to limit the filibuster, and is looking at other Senate rules he would like to change.

Sounds like he wants to Pelosi-ize the Senate.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s always helpful when someone posts to my comments, not addressing any of them.

As for financial support, this would make about 25 candidates I’m supposed to support this year. Sorry...

[hattend]

Would a Palin endorsement help Christine at all in Delaware...land of the Biden dynasty?
