We like to talk a lot shit but O'Donnell hauls in $1 million/Coons $125K since election. . .
   
. . .its time to step up.

We are so confident that we are going to win this seat that we are not putting our money where our mouths are? If we (PROGRESSIVES NETROOTS GRASSROOTS et al) don't get off our asses we deserve whatever happens to us in Delaware and everywhere else.

O'Donnell Hauls In $1 Million, Coons Takes In $125,000

The best spin coming from the Republican Party in the wake of Christine O'Donnell's primary victory in Delaware this past Tuesday has been that a GOP already fueled with conservative enthusiasm is now even more energized.

Appearing on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, RNC Communications Director Doug Heye relayed that the committee had received a $10,000 donation on Wednesday "because they were excited about Christine O'Donnell's win."

Reports emerged shortly thereafter that O'Donnell herself raised more than $1 million online on Wednesday, a staggering total that could go a long way in a state like Delaware.

How wary this makes Democrats is an open question and not just because the going bet is that no amount of money can make O'Donnell palatable to general election voters.

3. Excuses?
   
I understand we can all give s it doesn't only come down to money but are progressives mobilizing at all for Coons?

5. Well it appears in 2008 we scrapped pennies together to get Obama elected. . .
   
. . .I know that many of us have fewer pennies but we should at least be organizing. . .

In reality, most of Obama's cash came from big donors and overseas.  The money you donated through the DUmp gave Skins a well deserved vacation.

4. Money and resources the GOP could be applying more effectively elsewhere
   
Democrats should continue to fight here, but the Republicans know the DE Senate race is a drain for them. They're saving some face with token support, but Castle is not endorsing and their defacto national campaign manager/bag man (Karl Rove) already went on national TV to brand O'Donnell as an unelectable fraudster.

And Rove has pissed people off, making them fight that much harder for her. Maybe Rove is a genius?

It's dangerous to underestimate the Rovemeister.  Deep are the plans, and long the game.

Now at $1,050,000 and growing. http://christine2010.com/

I bet none of this came from overseas or from HAMAS like Obam's did.

Now, DUchebags say it slowly, "Senator O'Donnell."

Rove did indeed apologize, and donate to Christine's campaign though, so I'm not sure if Carl was indeed being a genius, or a bonehead with his comments.

It seems to me he dislikes the Obama tipe of hopey changey crap, but he doesn't seem to want the decent change that is coming like an Amtrak train either. Status quo is his bread and butter. That just doesn't wash anymore.

It's not the GOP contributing the money, it's CONSERVATIVES who prefer to donate to CONSERVATIVE candidates directly and refuse to give a dime to the RNC until they clean up their act (haven't donated to the RNC for 5 years now, and everytime they send me a letter and a pre-paid envelope asking for a donation? I write on the stub I refuse to donate a dime until the Republicans start acting like Republicans not Democrats, and I send it back, it costs them 42 cents and no donation!)

By "decent change" I meant the gigantic Tea Party movement that is gaining steam. I also wasn't talking about Amtrak being a great company that's going to benefit us. I was just trying to make the relation that that those trains go really fast. As does the Tea Party movement. I should've made those points more clear. Should have worded it differently.

He was being a bonehead and got his ass handed to him. The last thing voters want to hear is some jackoff like Castle or some big wig GOP power broker telling them who to vote for.

Agree with you.


What I saw was real and no deception. I saw Rove having a visceral reaction to O’Donnell; he impugned her honesty, her sanity, said he was not impressed by her, and just about said anything you’d have expected from the most rabid of Dem operatives. Mainly, though, I return to my impression that what he said was spoken without any deep plan. It was spontaneous and it was real.

So I just have to say my impression was that this was not part of any deep Rove gambit. I don’t just don’t buy that Rove pooh-pooing her was the root of O’Donnell’s  surge in online fundraising---that race was already on everyone’s radar. We were all already paying attention to this race.

And his “apology” was really a non-apology. He repeated that he said that he’d support the Republican candidate, as if this 3-second throwaway wasn’t overwhelmed in a flood of criticism. He said, again, that he had to put on his Fox News Analyst hat, but saying she made nutty pronunciementos and insisting she’d given no adequate explanations for—what, needing time to pay off a student loan?—that sex is better than masturbation?, which is how I interpret her words on this highly important campaign issue—was well beyond analysis, and his physical agitation and anger were evident.
What does this mean to me? Means he’s human. Doesn’t undo all the other great public service he’s done, and the fact he’s endured such crap from the precincts of the psychotic left Washington-media mixmaster. If he keeps walking the dog forward (if the cat goes back, the dog goes…) on this one, it’s cool.

Unless the Koch brothers are doling it out a thousand at a time, it's grassroots donations. I've been reloading her site since Rove gave her a beating, and it has been a steady gradual rise... up 1.25 million now.

The word that I'm getting from my son's friends that work on "The Hill"......is that the viseral reaction was due to the fact that Rove and Castle are personal friends, outside of politics, and have been for some time.

Unprofessional for a pundit, but a bit more understandable under those circumstances.

Thats exactly why her fund raising is so successfull...
That and the RNC refusing to send her funds, seems to me the message is loud and clear. The quite conservatives are pissed off and will not be silenced by anyone...Rove included.

The people are pissed and the establishment is going to hike the rhetoric big time.
