A friend suggested tonight, in light of the story published anonymously (and in exceedingly poor taste) about a bawdy night with Christine O’Donnell (allegedly), that Democrats just can’t help themselves. I agree.
I’ll not offer the link here, in the name of good taste, but Google is your friend and it won’t be very difficult to find these allegations. More importantly, spend a little time reading beyond the original trainwreck itself; many many people are not impressed, and a dramatically large number of them are women.
To name a few:
Via The Daily Caller:

The Democrats Create A New Low; ‘I Had a One-Night Stand With Christine O’Donnell’
There are more, but you get the idea. There’s something not being said though, that I can’t help but noticing and passing along here…this childishness (and blatant disregard for the very privacy they rail from the rooftops every day to defend) is going to have the reverse effect of that which was intended…and it is going to help guarantee the very thing they are high five-ing themselves right now thinking they have prevented; Christine O’Donnell is sure to win this election now, after today’s events.
Having been down by as many as 20 points or better, Rasmussen recently had O’Donnell somewhere within 11 points of Coons. More recently, an internal poll, published by the HillBuzz, suggests she might be as close as 5. Whatever the MoE is for the poll almost doesn’t even matter; Democrats are losing women in droves this cycle. Obama has even had to send the Missus out there to beg women not to leave him. Even worse for the Democrats…especially after today’s disaster…many of the women were planning to stay home out of anger, frustration, and an overall lack of enthusiasm…now, they’re going to come back to the polls with a vengeance-and it’s Liberal heads they’ll be coming after.
As the O’Donnell camp’s official response points out:
“From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine’s political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks — all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race,” said O’Donnell spokesman Doug Sachletben.
[snip]
In its statement released Thursday night, her campaign also pointed out that the National Organization for Women condemned the piece. “NOW repudiates Gawker’s decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment,” said NOW president Terry O’Neill. “And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O’Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere.”
While exactly right, this statement is missing the follow-on sentence: “Democrats have pretended to champion women’s issues for generations, and never have they shown more contempt for Women than they do here, tonight, with this offense against the whole of the gender and everything we’ve been fighting for our entire lives.”
O’Donnell has been bloodied and cleaved in this campaign over everything BUT what she stands for and what she means to do when she gets to Washington. This foolishness tonight only solidifies what some of us already knew; she’s a threat to them, and now that they realize they’re about to lose to her all the same, they’re getting desperate like the Frat freshmen a lot of us have always known them to be.
Trouble is, they’ve pee-ohed the wrong demographic.
[update: my comment at the offending site has been been blocked by the offending site's Admins. All I said was "thanks for giving O'Donnell the win", and suggested they might not have thought this one through all that well. Where's the harm in that? I was nice about it, and I didn't even swear!]

Now, certainly The Gawker is a despicable site which regularly acts despicably, as you might expect, and no less so in this case.
However, you misinterpret Rasmussen, who alone among pollsters has had the race at this same level in every poll he’s taken since August. So he is not in fact showing any closing of the race at all.
Should this seat be the one which costs us control of the Senate, every leftist judge who gets seated because Judiciary Chairman Leahy pushes them through when Chairman Sessions would have held them up is on those who gave away the seat for spite, or whatever ignoble principle they ignorantly thought they were serving.
Maybe it won’t matter, because maybe it won’t be that close. But it might have, and it still could. Stupid is as stupid does.
sigh-we've been through this countless times already
Dave Poff (haystack) (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 12:42AM EST (link)Castle had never lost…he couldn’t be beat…it was his race to lose. And yet, here we are…O’Donnell won, by the will of the voters.
Castle would have been no better than Coons-accept that. There are more things in play in this country than scraps from the tables of committee tables…many more things.
And besides, leadership isn’t defined by how well things get held up…ask Reid…and please think bigger.

But Dave,
ffc99 Friday, October 29th at 1:02AM EST (link)you’re being a bit misleading when discussing the polling in Delaware. There has been absolutely no movement in the polls toward Ms. O’Donnell. Rasmussen has shown no momentum in her direction (as Adjoran correctly pointed out). The most recent poll from Farleigh Dickinson released today actually shows Coons increasing his lead.

It’s an internal, it’s flawed, it’s only one poll…but there are lots of things the big polls don’t necessarily catch-and any shift from nonsense like today will not catch in the polls between now and Tuesday.
Besides-this is war, right? The Dems can use a single outlier and scream that the GOP is falling behind…who says we can’t use one to say she’s going to pull it off?
If it gets her 1000 more votes, I won’t feel guilty…and however dirty I might feel-well-there’s showers for that

philipjames Friday, October 29th at 1:00AM EST (link)Adjoran, if you are so concerned about this seat, were you going after Karl Rove for trashing O’Donnell AFTER she won the primary because he had a hissy fit. After he tried to mess with the Tea Party people, telling them to dump Christine and go with his guy Castle, and they told him to go do himself and he said he already had and it wasn’t very good.
How much encouragement have you given in support of Christine so she would have a chance to win? Or, are you one of those Republicans that likes the butt kissing and corruption in the Delaware Republican Party? Are you more comfortable with that, a Karl Rove kind of guy?

My opinion on three races
Doc Holliday (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 12:59AM EST (link)O’donnell = the one that will hurt the Dems, MSM, and establishment R’s the most.
Angle = the one we have to win at this point above all others. We fought too hard for too long to lose it.
Boxer – the person we SHOULD have spent the most time and money on. Removing Boxer would have done more to actually improve the Senate than the removal of any other candidate.

We'll know if CA has a moment of clarity if we see Van Tran, Star Parker and Nick Popaditch win.

You sent no money, you donated no time, yet you could not even be decent enough to keep your trap shut so the rest of us could do our best to get her elected.

Rove Has Nothing Against Conservative Women
edintexas Friday, October 29th at 10:53AM EST (link)Rove has something against real Conservatives, as opposed to the “kinder and gentler” kind he worked for.
Why FNC has him on the payroll is a mystery to me. I suppose they just had to have another DC insider Republican to trash both the Democrats and Conservative Republicans for “balance”.
55555
hippiessmell Friday, October 29th at 4:00PM EST (link)Rove is a big government Republican. He doesn’t like Palin or O’Donnell because they are capital C Conservatives.
But more than that, I think he doesn’t like them because he likes to think of himself as the reincarnation of Lee Atwater and he hates Palin and O’Donnell for rising to prominence without his political backing; in many ways they came to power in spite of his backing. In his mind, he’s the chief Republican king (or queen) maker and DOOM on anyone he does not approve for promotion.
Leftism is just the latest incarnation of the decaying feudal system with its top-down paternalistic management of people’s lives–a system of having the “betters” take care of the dependent serfs, with the serfs surrendering their wealth, freedoms and choices.
Obama was the people's choice too. Did the people make a mistake then?
hippiessmell Friday, October 29th at 3:55PM EST (link)I’m as happy to get rid of Castle as you are, but that is a seriously flawed argument. The reason our government is (supposed to be) a republic instead of a pure democracy is because “the people” don’t always make the best choice. There’s a reason Republicans do better when there’s lower turnout: the idiots stay home. I’m not saying O’Donnell was the wrong choice here, I’m just saying that argument is bad. Especially in light of the 2008 election results.

Strawman argument
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 4:23PM EST (link)People have a right to vote, we have a right to vote in droves and keep their stupidity at a minimum.
So going on that it was not a mistake he was elected. The people spoke. We do not like him or his agenda, but it was the will of the people that he become president. And the blame for his win falls 100% on our shoulders. We chose for years to keep electing crappy republicans, we chose for years no to get them in check, we chose to not be motivated, we chose to not hit the streets for votes, so it is our fault.
In this country, we do not get to remove those who are voted in just because we do not like them. If that was the case, no one would stay in office for more than a day. So while he has been a total screw up, he is the will of the people, so no mistake. In fact, he is somewhat of a blessing. The wave of conservatism would not have happened had McCain won. He won, he awoke a sleeping giant, and things for the first time in many years, will head the right way.
While your points are well taken, I'm still blaming the LSM first.
The_Gadfly (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 4:37PM EST (link)They lied by covering up the facts about Back Seat Obama and sliming John McCain as much as possible. If they had done their job fairly we wouldn’t have The Big 0 now. We expect the candidates to lie, it’s in their nature. The LSM is supposed to expose the lies.
Yes you are right
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 4:49PM EST (link)should have added that to the list as well!
Obama wasn't really the people's choice then either.
The_Gadfly (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 4:43PM EST (link)My mantra line by the end of the campaign season was that for the first time in my life I was going to vote for the democrat in the race but at least he’d have an ‘R’ behind is name on the ballot.
Like it or not McCain was Obama-lite and by painting in pale shades of pastel instead of bold colors like Reagan did, he lost the most important election of my lifetime. When he got lucky and picked Sarah Palin as a running mate, he also quickly realized she was a better politician than he was, and proceeded to undermine her by setting her up with the Katie Kouric interview and prepping her the wrong way for the interview.
All that combined with the LSM lies and obfuscations thwarted the will of the people because there was no one there who actually represented them.

I would call you a name but then I would be stooping to your level.
Now let’s see if you have the decency to apologize, or if you expose yourself further by escalating this.
God Bless you and have a lovely night.
“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”
Hold your breath
powertothepeople (Diary) Saturday, October 30th at 11:13PM EST (link)and while you are doing that, let me define what I meant.
Political Idiot: A person who rather than working for a complete republican victory instead constantly makes snide remarks about certain candidates who are in tough battles and who seem to be constantly attacked by their own. Days before an election you will usually see these idiots posting on major blogs about how the candidates legal election due to the people of that state being tired of RINOS and liberal democrats are mistakes, going to cause the whole conservative movement to fail, and should not be supported by the rest of us. They usually cover both sides of their ass with hidden comments about they hope the person wins but always has to add a bigger negative comment along with it. They do this so that if the person wins, they can claim to be excited and that they deep down knew the person would win but also so that if the person does not win, they can come back and say “I told you so.”
Now, go back and read your pathetic post that was your way of attacking a candidate that won the peoples votes, look at the definition of idiot I just posted, then sit back and realize you fit that mold perfectly. Then keep holding your breath waiting for an apology.
Now that is escalating wouldn’t you say? God I love the truth!
Now since you threw in the cliche God bless you so you could feel exonerated in the whole matter, would it not be more appropriate, since I assume you claim to be on our side, to state the God bless you and may he help you win to O’Donnell rather than the backstabbing BS you posted?
Blue yet?
Thanks.
jeffreywturner (Diary) Sunday, October 31st at 12:05AM EST (link)Like I thought.
By the way, you simply referred to me as an idiot with no qualifier. You can try to explain it all you want now, but you can’t change the fact that you did.
I have never met you, and perhaps where you are from, it is acceptable to insult people you have never met or know nothing about. That is fine and is certainly your right.
I could pray for God to bless you with some manners, but for now, I’ll leave it at:
God Bless You.
“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”

powertothepeople (Diary) Sunday, October 31st at 1:42AM EST (link)figured you would be smart enough to know why I called you an idiot considering this is a site dedicated to the republican/conservative cause and by you posting negative BS about a seat we need would automatically define you as an idiot.
But who in the world would expect an idiot to know they are an idiot much less why they are an idiot. Guess I was giving you too much credit.
By the way, before you worry about praying for my manners, how about you pull the plank from your eye, figure out why you should not trash needed candidate, and pray that God sees reason to aide you out of the mental idiocy that rules you at this point and grants you some wisdom.
By the way, since you seem to want to keep repeating silliness, people do not need to know a person to know they are an idiot or not. See, you typed nonsense on here which was confronted by numerous people. Your words give us insight into your IQ and idiot status. Your inability to follow house rules (we do not speak ill of republicans who have won the primary and are trying to kick a dem out of a seat) is yet another tool we use to be able to understand who you are. It tends to be pretty accurate. Most of us in here do not know Obama personally but we all know he is an idiot. Same applies to you. You come to a site that promotes republicans days before O’Donnell is going to fight her hardest battle to date. You trash her calling her election a mistake which would equate, in your opinion, to all of her states voters to being fools who made a mistake. That makes you an idiot and a troll. pretty simple math there bub!
I know how to follow rules, because I chose to not break the respectful rule or language rule, I simply stated truth instead of saying what needs to be said to you and others like you. It is why so many on here when calling you out on your posts also chose not to say what should have been said. But even you can read between the lines and know what is on our minds.
Sorry, I just realized you had responded.
jeffreywturner (Diary) Friday, November 5th at 5:08PM EST (link)I don’t know what has enraged you to the point of spewing such venom towards others, but I am terribly sorry for whatever has happened to you. I always try to disagree agreeably, but you clearly have no interest in doing so. You may convince yourself that I have caused your anger with my “idiocy”, but such claims are merely deflections. There is clearly something deep inside you causing such anger, and I can not resolve it for you. I do know of someone who can though, and he never fails. In fact, one of the names by which he is known is “Wonderful Counselor”. Please contact me privately if you would like to know more. I have used my real name as my handle for more than 5 years here, so you can find me on any of the social media sites.
May God bless you my friend.

The DEM-0-graphic destruction
WmCraig (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 1:39AM EST (link)Let me give you a few reasons why they are desperate
- Chrysler plant closed, soon to be reopened as a University of Delaware theme park. Meaning no disrespect to the blue hens, but how many blue collar, high paying union jobs will be there when the construction is over? How many UAW workers will this project employ?
- Ditto, GM plant that may someday be converted to build an electric car to compete with GM’s volt. Any union auto worker in Delaware that believes deserves what the democrats did to them.
– Financial regulations have stupefied the banking industry. They OTHER big Delaware employer. Families are seeing a double whammy, good paying union and non-union blue collar jobs are being lost, and so are the jobs in the financial industries. Mom and Dad are both suffering if they are employed.
-On Coons watch property taxes have about doubled in New Castle county. All at a time when many families are already struggling to make there mortgage because of the income loss.
So, lets see, after sending there favored son, Joe Biden to Washington to speak on their behalf the democrats destroyed the UAW, along with the retail, services and non-union blue collar jobs that supported these manufacturing facilities. That pretty well alienates any honest blue collar workers, including union blue collar workers. They have destroyed the opportunities in the financial sector. That alienates the white collar workers. They have balanced the budget by raising taxes at a time when every household is cutting expenses. That alienates the families and home owners.
The truth is, if Chris Coons were to run on the record of the democrats, he would be lucky he isn’t tarred and feathered.
No one is talking about this, but on the merits of what the Democrats have done to Delaware, with Joe Biden leading the way, Delaware voters are pissed. They gave up a lot to help the Democrats win and put Obama in the White House.
It is an understatement to say that they expected more

The_Gadfly (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 12:30PM EST (link)legitimately claim I share with the Marines: Just like them, there are no former Eagle Scouts, once you’re an Eagle Scout, you’re always an Eagle Scout.
And I had the same reaction you did – The Scouting Executive needed to come clean, come clean quickly, and take his lumps. If there are trustworthy Scouts who are willing to vouch for his character and vow that this was a one time aberration, I’m willing to put him on a 6 month probation and see if he can continue his work. But those are the ONLY conditions under which he should continue as an employee of the BSA.

Quite frankly
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 2:42AM EST (link)I do not care who she shares her bed with, period.
Had she been married, then it would bring in question her morality which could translate into her courage to stand up against what is wrong in Congress. But she is single, and while I do not agree with casual sex, I am not her God, her conscience, or her father.
What amazes me is the hypocrisy of the left. They will bang who they wish, then turn around and wag fingers at people based on unsubstantiated claims. I am a Christian and would love to have Congress filled with men and women who are strong conservative Christians, but being a Christian or not being one does not factor in on my decision on who to vote for. So going on that, even if she slept with this guy or tried to, it matters little to me and it should not matter to anyone else as well. We all have the skeletons in our closet so who are we to get all pissy about a claimed mistake on her part.
Telling you it is time to get just as dirty with the left. Find their closets and dig through them. Guaranteed you will find many times more the scandals in that godless bunch then you will ever find on the right. And it is time for Ladies like O’Donnell and Hailey to get on the attack and get in these scumbags faces, They are cowards who do not even have the balls to make their claims with their own names. These ladies would trash these “men” if they simply went on the offensive.
Maybe O’Donnell should come out and say that she did get to drunk that night which was a stupid mistake, did come on to him which was another huge mistake, but he could not “rise” to the occasion because his attraction laid with the men. Let him beat off a rumor for a little while.
Got Me!

At that point you had set up a huge “gotcha”. Worked on me! As the Brits say “Good on you.”, it was perfect!
Why Should She Have to Say *Anything*?
chipbennett (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 11:25AM EST (link)She was a single woman, engaging in activities with a single man – and those activities were – by the slimeball’s own admission – consistent with O’Donnell’s current portrayal of her own beliefs.
Basically, this was a (completely non-revelatory, unsubstantiated) “kiss-and-tell” account that would be roundly condemned by the far reaches of the hypocritical left, if the subject had been a liberal woman, rather than a conservative woman.
O’Donnell’s response should be nothing more than, “I’m sorry, but I have more important things to attend to, and more important issues to address. I’ll have no comment on that.”
Just in case you did not read it all
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 2:21PM EST (link)which is a safe assumption going on what you posted, go back and read the first part and you will see where I clearly state that I do not care who she slept with (very first line) and its not my business nor the business of anyone else.

That comment was less directed at you, so much as it was directed at the rest of the world – primarily, the hypocritical, liberal media – who expect some sort of response from her, or for her to explain how the account doesn’t somehow demonstrate some form of hypocrisy on her part (or whatever explanation they claim to want).
My fault
powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 4:03PM EST (link)misunderstood your meaning as it seemed to be written in a way that was letting me know she had nothing to explain, it was none of my business, instead of seeing that is also what I wrote.

Donald Ayotte (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 5:05AM EST (link)In Delaware, as some of you know, there are three counties in this massive state. The northern county is New Castle County where Democrats reign.
However in the two southern counties, Kent and Sussex the Republicans reign. The problem is, that even with less population, Kent and Sussex Countians are more fervent about their politics and now have a drive to turn out 75% of the vote to defeat that northern Marxist Chris Coons.
Well, What are you talking about 75% is impossible. You guys are crazy.
The answer is; we weren’t so crazy in the primary when we beat Mike Castle with an unprecedented turn-out in both southern counties.
I say that O’Donnell has successfully ousted Bill Clinton as “The Come Back Kid.”
Hide and Watch, while we accomplish the impossible. Thank you Redstate for supporting us and helping take back what is perhaps one of the most democratic states in the east.
She has a chance.

She has democrat and Independents actively working her campaign, and according to our friends they are all letting the pollsters know they are voting for Coons. They are playing this game right back at em. Karl Rove will be eating crow on Nov. 3rd. He did more damage to her than anybody. And that.. is from an inside source who lives there.

chipbennett (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 11:31AM EST (link)I was one who said that I hoped Castle won the primary, because I didn’t think Delaware would elect someone as conservative as O’Donnell. If she wins, I will happily eat crow for that opinion.
In fact, I’ll post a diary, and ask Neil or someone to front-page it, as a gathering place for all of us who doubted her campaign.
I still don’t see any signs in the polling data that she’s within striking distance; but that said, I don’t think anybody is accurately modeling the likely voter turnout this year. I’m even starting to doubt Rasmussen’s accuracy in predicting what will be an entirely unprecedented wave.
So, who knows? I’ll at least hold out hope for a pleasant surprise awaiting me when I get home from working the polls Tuesday!
Agreed.

In fact Jim DeMint has give +150K to the Delaware party to coordinate a GOTV effort for Christine and the congressional house candidate in that state.
The attacks on Chrsitine has been hideous in my opinion. Huge double standard
Interesting point to add...
congressworksforus (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 12:19PM EST (link)Look at the polling in the House race in DE. Only 7 points today. Was well into double digits before.
I suspect this Senate race is one where people will go into the polls planning on voting for the other guy, and then vote for O’Donnell…
Remember, if the left wins, abortion will not only be legal, it will be mandatory.

NOW's statement
proudmarinemom (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 9:03AM EST (link)is dumb. I know Malkin and others have chided NOW for not denouncing loudly or quickly enough this non-story on some trash blog I’d never heard of before. I’m sure some women are outraged that a female candidate had her reputation compromised (sort of). And it may be true that conservative women of Delaware will don their Suffragette sashes, like Mrs. Banks in the Mary Poppins movie, and march arm-in-arm to the polls in solidarity against misogyny. I doubt it.
I donated to O’Donnell because she is a fiscal conservative who will help stop Obama’s obsession with destroying the economy, not becasue she is a woman. I couldn’t give a rat’s rear end what she does in private, if she is married, single, lesbian. I don’t care. I don’t think the article was misogynistic. The same story about a male candidate would be just as boring to me.
I hope O’Donnell wins, but I want her to win because people wake up and decide to stop Obama, nothing more.
Underestimated
Viator Friday, October 29th at 9:51AM EST (link)I just watched yesterday’s O’Donnell interview with Hannity. As with her past speeches and interviews I have seen I was very impressed with her demeanor, discipline and camera friendly ambiance. Nowhere have I seen the caricature Christine. This race might surprise some people. If she is so lame and running such a bad race why are they throwing everything including the kitchen sink at her?

RINO Whiners
defenderofliberty Friday, October 29th at 10:32AM EST (link)You Castle RINO whiners, along with Palin/O’Donnell basher Rove are THE problem, not part of the solution. O’Donnell is not an elitist genius (thank God), but she is a true patriot and defender of the Constitution (the basis of all that defines America from the rest of the world). Castle, Rove, and O’Donnell “critics” show their true view of the Constitution and the Founders’ vision. You might as well hand Obama and his Marxist minions the keys to the National Archives and let them shred the actual documents. All real conservatives are ashamed of RINOs and their “supporters.”
Chritine O'Donnell down by 10?
bcourt17 Friday, October 29th at 10:36AM EST (link)According o Monmouth Poll it is 51-41. I believe she is going to pull it off.
the poll looks promising. hoped neil or moe would
tngal (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 11:05AM EST (link)scrutinize the figures. I thought the best line in their recap was..
” O’Donnell has also made gains among independent voters, now leading Coons 47% to 42% among this voting bloc. Two weeks ago, she trailed in the independent vote by 51% to 41%.”
Also noticed over 600 respondents were over 60 years old while 200 were
18-44 and just under 350 go 45-59. Is that really the proportion of DE voters? Shouldn’t there be more of the middle group?

I sure wish this could come to pass...
simba Friday, October 29th at 11:25AM EST (link)But It is difficult to see how she achieves this win. She is very much down on poll and the mainstream media is not letting up on helping Coons by constantly beating her up. Not that O’Donell did not freely provided plenty of ammunition by appearing on Bill Maher’s crazy shows.

powertothepeople (Diary) Friday, October 29th at 7:20PM EST (link)what would be sweet would be both of the ladies meeting in the middle of the Congress right as Obama is getting ready to welcome the new members, and toasting their wins by clinking their pale ale bottles together.
But to answer your question, it is a tough one.
On the one side, O”Donnell winning after all she has been put through would be a great victory, but
I still think Reid is the most irritating and dangerous democrat in office and seeing him walking the walk of shame would make my year.
So While I think both will win, the sweeter of the two contests would be Angle.
But the race I most want to see a republican win is in CA. I will celebrate for the next two years if I see “call me senator” Boxer on the unemployment line. Boxer loosing will be the biggest kick in the balls to Obama and the democrats of any race.
So maybe I will get lucky and Angle, O’Donnell, and Carly will all clink their Samuel Adams bottle together in Obama’s face.
Angle
redtillimdead (Diary) Saturday, October 30th at 2:32AM EST (link)Does not drink. But, I agree with your message. I would rather Carly win than Angle or O’Donnell. Boxer is terrible. Carly is great. She has stuck to her principals even in a blue state, same for O’Donnell.
