I last spoke on this subject some days before the primary elections. Now the primaries for Delaware, Maryland, New York, and various other states are complete. Let's see what Team Elephant has been up to in the time since my last
Wanna see true colors? See this.
In an extraordinary move, the state Republican Party began automated phone calls attacking O'Donnell in the campaign's final hours. The calls feature the voice of a woman who identifies herself as Kristin Murray, O'Donnell's campaign manager in her 2008 unsuccessful Senate campaign, accusing the candidate of "living on campaign donations — using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt."The establishment would rather lose than support a candidate whose views aren't those of John McCommie, Lincoln Chafee, and other stalwart "conservatives". What is it you're not seeing here, conservatives? These people hate you and hate everything you believe in.
O'Donnell's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Republican officials have said privately they intend to write off the seat if O'Donnell is victorious against Castle.
Most telling was the establishment response to O'Donnell's win.
However, a top Republican official told CNN on Tuesday night that O'Donnell will have to show she can generate viable support before the national party will give her money.After the establishment said they wouldn't support O'Donnell financially, she made her own pitch -- and picked up $1.5 million dollars just since Tuesday! You're looking bad, Rockefellerites!
"It is now incumbent on Sarah Palin, (U.S. Sen.) Jim DeMint and the Tea Party Express to help support her," the official said on condition of not being identified by name. "They got her here. Now make it happen."
New York posted a stunning upset as well. Carl Paladino upset RINO Rick Lazio.
The Team Elephant establishment is grossly out of touch with its base. I would say DELIBERATELY out of touch; they really would rather see grassroots candidates lose. They will only support "their kind". WHY you people still affiliate yourselves with that party, I cannot understand.
