Christine O’Donnell Endorses Mitt Romney; Des Moines City Council Member Endorses Rick Santorum

A friend whom I won’t name sent me an e-mail suggesting the headline, “Witches and Mormons, Oh, My!” Christine O’Donnell, the former Republican Senate candidate and a tea party favorite during the 2010 election, has officially endorsed Mitt Romney for president. . . . O’Donnell made clear that the Romney campaign did not “come to [...]

Christine O’Donnell Has A Good Attitude

by Smitty Dondero reports: “We should learn a lesson from what happened in my race last year. I was consistently beating my democratic opponent in the pre-primary head to head match up and then the Republican Establishment launched their shameless attack and changed all that,” said O’Donnell. “As the saying goes, a lie runs around [...]

Troublemaker: Karl Rove vs. O’Donnell

One of the undeniable truths about Christine O’Donnell’s 2010 Delaware Senate campaign is that many Republicans wanted her to lose. Months before most Americans ever heard of O’Donnell, leading members of the GOP Establishment had invested their influence and prestige in attempting to ensure that nine-term Rep. Mike Castle would be the Republican nominee. Much [...]

Piers Morgan Really Likes Masturbation (And Really Hates Christine O’Donnell)

Making the media rounds to promote her new book Troublemaker, 2012 Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan, who decided that he needed to grill O’Donnell about masturbation and whether she had “committed lust”: What an annoying twerp. This is not only offensive, it’s boring. There are far more interesting questions [...]

Christine O’Donnell To Publish A Book Called ‘Trouble Maker’

by Smitty Alan Colmes must know someone at St. Martin’s Press, because he’s reporting a Christine O’Donnell book with the title “Trouble Maker” that isn’t even available for pre-order on Amazon. The questions I have are: Why she gave up politics for biography? Why did she pick Stacy McCain for her first subject? Yeah, I’m [...]

The Bold, the Brave, the Wrong

American Spectator associate editor W. James Antle III rang out the old year by highlighting his most misbegotten predictions of 2010: 4. Christine O’Donnell is a no-hoper in the primary. I wasn’t confident enough in that one to make the prediction publicly, but I did dissuade an intern from writing a piece that took her [...]

Christine O’Donnell’s Not a Witch, But They’re Gonna Burn Her Anyway

What to make of reports that former Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is under federal investigation for campaign finance violations? Her campaign manager Matt Moran is quoted by ABC News: “The anonymous source seems politically-motivated and may well be tied to the ultra-liberal, George Soros-financed, former Sen. Biden staffer-run CREW [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics [...]

‘The Demagogic Bloggers on the Right’

Frequent commenter “Joe” calls our attention to Patterico’s dig at Jeff Goldstein (and unnamed others) in which the prosecutor endeavors to play the Instapundit card: Now that Glenn has said the same thing the “pragmatic” conservatives are saying, will the blogospheric demagogues who seek out Mark Levin’s favor put Glenn Reynolds on the list of [...]

Patterico’s Latest Gambit: Trying to Pit Michelle Malkin Against Mark Levin?

More unfortunate fallout today from the Delaware Senate campaign, a subject about which I know a lot but have said relatively little in recent weeks. To explain my side of the story: From early October onward, I tried to turn my attention (and readers’ attention) to House races. The Senate campaigns were getting plenty of coverage [...]

Christine O’Donnell: We The People Of The First State

by Smitty Screw Comcast to the wall. One hopes that the ballot box verdict in a few hours brings the jolly bollocking they merit. In the meantime, set aside my rant and take the time to ensure this video has more viewers as a result of their perfidy than it otherwise would have: We the [...]

234 Years Later, Obama Hardly Resembling Washington

by Smitty Not quite 234 years ago, original Tea Partier and future first POTUS George Washington crossed the Delaware River to put the hurt on forces of the Ruling Class overlords encamped at Trenton. A couple centuries later, and things are reversed. Now, via AmericanGlob the POuTUS has become the Ruling Class overlord, and must [...]

Greetings from Bristol, Va.

Please excuse the 24-hour absence of bl0gging, and thanks to Smitty and Wombat for producing excellent content in my absence. Yesterday I drove from Hagerstown to Christiansburg, Va., and then on to Abingdon, where I filed 950 words last night The American Spectator: ABINGDON, Va. — Rick Boucher voted for the “Job-Killing Cap & Trade Energy Tax,” says [...]
