Rod...she was a conservative running in a liberal state. It’s really nobody’s fault. It’s not O’Donnell’s or Chris Christie’s or Karl Rove’s. It’s the people of Delaware.

I don't doubt that you are right. But, when its time to stand up up for new Conservative candidates who obviously need help and COD get treated the way she did it's plain wrong!! And I plan to point it out until all the Roves,McCains, Grahams etc, either “change” or get the hell out.

They were slim and none because she didn’t get the full support of the RNC and the entire party.

It is disingenuous of Christie and others to suggest that Castle could have won. They can say that only if they gave their full support to the winner of the Primary, Christine O. The RNC elite and Gov. Christie should take a time out and reflect on what they could have done to contribute to a win for the Republican Party in Delaware.

They lack integrity for not respecting the result of the primary.

You aren’t just allowed to disagree with the Governor. Not here on FR. You must call him Fatback, fatboy or some derogatory name along with disagreeing. As anyone can see, I have been here for over a decade and seeing FR evolve into a right-wing moveon.org or DU is sad...

I am 110% sure I would vote for Christie over 0bama if Christie wins the nomination. However, why couldn't he have just said, “okay, the guy I wanted to win lost in primary, but I will support our nominee (just like conservatives should do)”?

Keep it personal. Don’t deal with the issues. If you don’t like all the nominees your bad.

You know I hate to disparage an entire state, but Delaware is the first state of stupidity.

Lol...yours was the claim that a person who loses a primary cannot win the general election. Then when I present prima fascia evidence that you are incorrect you say, “You’re changing the subject. Stay on topic.” How pathetic.

you think she’s an idiot? Tell me where you disagree with her.

Christine O’Donnell on the Issues
Jobs Believes jobs are created when businesses are freed from endless taxes and bureaucratic red tape.

Security Believes terrorism is an act of war requiring the full force of our intelligence and military resources rather than granting terrorists precious Constitutional rights and outsourcing our foreign policy to the U.N.

Debt Believes heaping trillions in debt on the backs of our grandchildren is immoral and that Congress is elected to make the hard choices to preserve our nation’s future prosperity.

Taxes Will fight to remove the crushing tax burden faced by American families and businesses and dramatically simplify the tax code.

Life Strongly believes in protecting the sanctity of life at ALL stages.

Energy Supports a market-based approach to energy solutions that will keep competition high and energy prices low.

Values Believes our country was founded on core values of faith, family and freedom and will fight to defend those values. Will always fight for maximum choice for parents about where to educate their kids, including private, parochial and charter schools or in the home.

Spending Believes unrestrained government spending is eroding our freedom, destroying our economy and ceding our sovereignty to foreign debt-holders like China.

Accountability Denounces corrupt pork-barrel politics, including earmarks, and will fight for increased transparency and performance information for every Federal program.

Healthcare Believes that the solution to the healthcare crisis is less government meddling in the doctor/patient relationship, more competition in the insurance market and more choice for families about their health plan.

Veterans Pledges unqualified support for our armed forces, both active and retired, and she vows to ensure that the federal government honor its commitment to those who serve. She supports programs which allow veterans all over Delaware to get their basic care at private physician offices like every other American.

Gun Control Christine’s strong support of 2nd Amendment rights has earned her an “A” rating from the NRA.

Really? You need to go there? Ridiculous. Christie is awesome and his weight issue is his business not mine and not yours.

Christie endorsed Castle for his fiscal responsibility.

Nuff said.

Christine did us proud. Got rid of the RINO and ended the Age of Incumbency in Delaware.

No regrets over supporting her. That's what the Tea Party movement is all about. Getting rid of establishment Republicans and if the Rat win, so be it. Make them own it.
