Woke up this morning to discover that last night’s post about Christine O’Donnell’s new ad was the top item at Memeorandum, with links by Da Tech Guy, Left Coast Rebel, Gateway Pundit and, of course, not Allahpundit.

What Did I Tell You About Her?

Christine O’Donnell’s first TV ad of the general election campaign: The American Spectator, July 27: “[C]onservatives in Delaware have the benefit of backing an indisputably telegenic candidate.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: The GOP gubernatorial candidate in Colorado, Dan Maes, is now in full meltdown mode. . . . Republican primary voters were forced to choose between entrenched, ethics-challenged establishment candidate Scott McInnis and untested businessman Maes.

Beat Barney, Stomp Steny

We’ve told you before about Sean Bielat, who’s taking on Barney Frank in Massachusetts, and Charles Lollar, who’s challenging Steny Hoyer in Maryland.
