Tea-Bagger wackjob O'Donnell loses in Delaware

[cambion]

- Christine O'Donnel
+ Rand Paul
+ Sharron Angle (?)

One step forward, two steps back. These idiots are closer to the type of people I'd expect to win in the House in some backwater district, not major Senate seats. Christ on a cracker, this election year was nuts!

I apologize, I am not hip to anything anymore, what is Dancing with the Stars?

It's an astronomy program.

It's an astronomy program.

I said I was not hip, I didn't say I was a fool!

 

[MattusMaximus]

Wonder which reality TV show she'll be starring in...

From what I understand regarding some of her questionable past behavior with campaign finances, she could be appearing on either Court TV or the Jailhouse Rock Station

 

[MattusMaximus]

Quick question: Why do we care? Why does she have so many threads dedicated to her here?

She was never within 12% of the lead. Why do we or anyone care about her outside of Delaware?

It's entertainment, pure and simple. The fact that she lost in Delaware should be a surprise to no one.

Just as the gains by the GOP tonight should be a surprise to no one.

Fox News?

That she won the GOP nomination was remarkable and thrust her onto the national stage.

You is bad.

Entertainment value. I'm sure that's why Bill Maher had her on his show so many times.

Time for me to start looking for a new avatar I guess.

 

[Nosi]

She just declared victory. Oy.

Pass the mushrooms!

Actually, looks like Harry Reid sent Sharron Angle packing. That's good, early reports had her winning. I'm still blown away that Rand Paul is a senator though. And that O'Donnell was even in the running.

 

[Accidental Martyr]

Fox News?

He said reality TV.

 

[Upchurch]

He said reality TV.

What reality TV show do you know that has anything to do with reality? I say the joke stands as is.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

She just gave her speech - she claims she called her opponent and reminded him of the things he has to do - Ahhhhhhhhh no dear. When you lose it means the people want her opponent to follow his agenda...........no yours

Yeah, I saw that. What an idiot.

Because she was the teabagger standard bearer. An example of what could happen if the people (well, the teabaggers at least) rose up and threw the old guard out.

Angle lost. You forgot nutjob Joe Miller. He lost too.

To a write in candidate!

If not for the teabaggers, the GOP might have won the Senate.

 

[Spindrift]

O'Donnell is a symbol of how dangerous the Tea Party can be to the Republicans. She cost the Republicans a guaranteed US Senate seat. Castle was going to beat Coons by 20 points.

The Republican power brokers are going to have to figure out how they can control the Tea Party or it has the potential to destroy them.

I can't believe she got 40%. That has to be almost entirely on looks alone. I don't know who could have heard her speak and then voluntarily handed over their voice in the Senate to her.
