In a recent interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Christine O'Donnell listed both God and Gloria Steinem as sources of inspiration and influence when times get tough on the campaign trail.
The interview was conducted by CBN's The Brody File on Friday at Wesley College in Dover, Delaware and is posted on CBN's website.
O'Donnell cited a double standard she believes is being applied to women, specifically conservative women who choose to run for office. "I don't feel it because I don't watch the news. (Laughs) No. I do feel it. There's certainly a double standard and I don't often quote Gloria Steinem but she said you can look at a double standard if they wouldn't attack the male opponent that way and there's no doubt that they wouldn't say the things they're saying about me, they wouldn't do the things that they're doing if I weren't a woman. I'm not whining but there certainly is a double standard especially when it comes to conservative woman."
O'Donnell then delved into faith stating, "God is the reason that I'm running. If I didn't believe that there were a cause greater than myself worth fighting for, if I didn't believe that it takes a complete dying of self to make things right in this election cycle I would not be running and when you die to yourself you rely on a power greater than yourself so prayer is what's gotten us all through."
She continued that her success in politics can be directly tied to prayer: "The day that we saw a spike in the polls was a day that some people had a prayer meeting for me that morning for this campaign so I believe that prayer plays a direct role in this campaign and I always ask please pray...

Troll
What is your major malfunction?
Don’t tell the troll to go away. When liberals smear Christine like that, her poll numbers (and checkbook balance) go up.

But then again, I never thought I'd see actual photographs of mangled aborted babies being aired on television advertising in D.C. Keep praying everyone ... God is with US ...
“Go away troll”
It’s a joke, you alarmist.
“Troll”
Blockhead.
I´m praying for her victory.
Who would have thought that ex-Governor Pete DuPont would have endorsed COD.
If you are what your profile suggests, why should you care whom she prays to or for in her life?
sarcasm off
“why should you care whom she prays to or for in her life?”
I don’t.
I was wondering - that post didn’t meet your usual angle...
I usually put “/libspeak” at the end of something like that.
