ANOTHER College Denies Christine O'Donnell Attended Despite Her Claim Another university is bringing Christine O'Donnell's self-professed education history into question Wednesday, as Claremont Graduate University, a school that the Delaware Senate candidate claims she attended, has told Talking Points Memo that they have no record of her being there. "Claremont Graduate University has no student or education record for an individual named Christine O'Donnell," Rod Leveque, a spokesman for Claremont told TPM Tuesday, despite O'Donnell's inclusion of the school on her LinkedIn education history. A similar response had been given earlier to blogger and radio producer Gary Scott, who thought to inquire based on the news that O'Donnell had not even officially received her undergraduate degree from Farleigh Dickinson University until earlier this month. TPM did a little digging and found that her campaign site might give a more accurate depiction of her involvement with a conservative think tank called the Claremont Institute, which has no relationship to the Claremont Graduate University that she has filed under the education section of her LinkedIn profile. A search of the website finds that O'Donnell did receive a Lincoln Fellowship from the Institute in 2002, though her inclusion of the word "graduate" seems to raise a few questions, as it goes unmentioned on the award's description. On Tuesday, Greg Sargent of the Washington Post reported that O'Donnell had also filed "University of Oxford" on the education section of her LinkedIn profile, when the true nature of her tenure there appears to be as a student of a Phoenix Institute course that had simply rented out space at the school. These two new discrepancies also come in the wake of an earlier controversy surrounding O'Donnell's relationship with a former employer, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, and her taking of courses at Princeton University. O'Donnell ended up suing ISI for $150,000, claiming lost "earning power" due to the fact that they had not given her ample time to complete coursework at the university. At the time she had only audited one undergraduate class.

Well look what we have here: 'Explosive Allegations' To Be Leveled Against Whitman' By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney (CNN) – Beware the nanny. California GOP gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman is facing a new hurdle Wednesday as her housekeeper of nine years prepares to make what are being called "explosive allegations" about the former eBay CEO. The housekeeper has hired famed attorney Gloria Allred, and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET to "tell how she suffered as a long time Latina household employee in Meg Whitman's home and why she is filing a claim against Ms. Whitman," according to a statement released by Allred's office. Whitman has previously beat back allegations she was involved in a 2007 shoving altercation with an employee at eBay's California headquarters after the Silicon Valley chief felt unprepared for an upcoming media interview. The incident reportedly led to a $200,000 settlement. Rest of the story: politicalticker.blogs.cnn...gations-may-rock-ca-race/
it's amazing just how desperate the democrats are, no one is going to believe this silly last minute scandal crap and Allred's involvement demonstrates it's complete bullshit.
A new Los Angeles Times/USC poll shows that Democratic candidate Jerry Brown is leading Republican Meg Whitman, 49% to 44%, in the California governor's race. Brown is strongly favored by women and Latinos, but younger voters are only marginally in his camp. The survey also shows that Republicans Whitman and Carly Fiorina, who's trying to unseat U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, have not yet convinced crucial groups of voters that their backgrounds as businesswomen make them good fits for seats in government.
i just listened to allred's press conference and it was ridiculous and obviously a last minute act of desperation. that said i will find it amazing if whitman or fiorina, the third world trash have taken over this state and certainly won't vote for accomplished white women, they much prefer career politicians who promise them everythingl

How many millions did HP shell out to get rid of the accomplished Fiorina? Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Fiorina and Whitman are promising everything just like Arnold when he packed up his broom and headed to Sacramento to clean it up.
