Permit me a brief smirk, folks. I really did see this coming
of course, a little prayer never hurts either. The Delaware Republican primary was about as much of an upset as you could ever want. The Patriot Movement flexed its muscles again and propelled Christine ODonnell to victory over veteran politico Mike Castle. ODonnell took an early lead and never looked back. Since we were just talking about the establishment yesterday, watching the contortions of the Delaware State Republican Party and the RNC in the aftermath of the ODonnell victory was both instructive and entertaining. The party elites stayed in character, and one low-level apparatchik bleated that the national party would send no money to ODonnell. This is unfortunate
it just tells us in the Patriot Movement that the Republican Party machinery is still stuck back somewhere in the inglorious past.
In the face of all the evidence in front of them that the Patriot Movement is indeed speaking with the voice of the American people, the Republican elites continue to look down their noses and make disparaging noises. The fact is that that Conservative American Patriots cleaned your clocks. Yeah
the Tea Party
those ignorant rubes youve been snickering about at your effete little watering holes in the beltway.
Christine ODonnell had scarcely been declared as the winner when the establishment knives were out saying that she couldnt possibly win a national contest. My syndicates wont let me print the expletives running through my head right now. I think that Christine ODonnell can win that contest in November. Not only that, but I think she stands a damned good chance at it.
The Conservative message is beginning to resonate with some disillusioned Democrats too. Want another example of the absolute disconnect between the Republican elites and the people who make up the Republican electorate? I just got word, at the time of writing this, that the NRSC (the National Republican Senatorial Committee) has stated they wont support the choice of the people! Need I say more?
