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.

Hey Skip, I see you've glommed on to the Senate candidate from Deleware for your "biting" satire. But don't you live in CA? Anyhoo,here's a tip for you: If you're going to make fun of someone else's qualifications (or lack thereof), or point out their foibles, it helps to have some "cred" yourself. And being an 18 year old pimply faced kid posting from mommy's basement doesn't quite cut it. A good start for you would be to go to work on getting that G.E.D. It's a challenge, but you can do it! Go Skip, GO!

Your time would be better spent trying to find competent candidates to run instead of criticizing private citizens who DARE to discuss those that are currently offered and being found sorely lacking. And you keep forgetting ..... the candidates ARE supposed to show reasons why we should vote for them not vice versa.
More rope, please! {{{chuckle}}}
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Since I've taken Amos' advice and ignore him, you might point out to him that the "biting satire" isn't mine but that of the article's author.
I doubt he will understand that though as he sees most other posters here as a mirror of himself.
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/
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
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.
Capitalist Erica must be a great chef. All the guys in the soup kitchen line all talk about how well he "TOSSES SALAD".
Even more 'amazing' is the suggestion the GOP needs to find 'more competent candidates' when just about everyone admits the GOP is going to win in a landslide that could easily be the largest in US history. Right now, according to the polling data, GOP picks up 73 seats in the House alone. Whats interesting to note is 160 districts ARE NOT BEING POLLED. We simply don't know what the numbers are in these districts. But when you realize Barney Frank might lose his seat...anyone can get fired this time around on the Democrats side of the aisle. Anyone. Then there is the Senate. Right now, its pretty obvious the GOP will pick up 8 seats. A 9th that should be a victory, but is within the margin of error is Angle v Reid. After that, you have 5 Senate seats accurately described as 'toss ups'. Mid term election cycle, wildly unpopular Administration policies, even more wildly unpopular Congress and Senate controlled by the Democrats...GOP turnout is going to be HUGE, perhaps the largest in history as it relates to mid term election cycles, and dwarf the Democrats in a tidal wave. Every pollster admits this, even those that claim the Democrats will retain control of the House and/or Senate. And thats where those five 'toss up' Senate races go into 'favors GOP' column. The turn out alone should win three of those seats minimum. We'll see. But right now, 33 days out...this is a disaster for the Democratic Party nobody 18 months ago saw coming.

(chuckle) Grasping at straws being held by Gloria Alred? Lmao.

This is not the first time Allred has injected herself into a campaign in the closing days. In 2003, a former stuntwoman hired Allred to pursue claims of sexual assault and defamation against now-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. That suit was dismissed.

And did you ever notice that Skippy LOVES to point out the character flaws in others, but takes himself WAAAAAAY too seriously. ______________________________________________________________________________ It's nice to see that you're making good use of that Amateaur Psychiatry Degree you got in the Craker Jack box. BTW - thanks for the courtesy ping.
______________________________________________________________________________ I know.

BTW - thanks for the courtesy ping. I'm just making an observation. Another 'No No' I guess when it's about a poster trying to sell an unqualified candidate to the rubes. Since you intiated the flame I expect you to try to keep up.
I guess by default that means the GOP talking points are that their candidates are entitled to lie about their credentials.
It leads them right into the 1-2 punch of "We're morally superior" followed by "But they do it too".
It works for Biden....lol

With Badeye right on cue.
That's what Fox News exists for.

I know this is probably a revelation to the worshippers of the two party charade but I'm NOT running for office. I have nothing to prove. Meanwhile you need to find more celebrities to quote.
At least she's started to give credit to those she quotes. That's a change.
She once replied to me about something I posted and said that Ron White wouldn't agree with it or something similiar. Like I would actually give a damn about Ron White's opinions on anything.
Who is Ron White?
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.
A comedian. lol The only reason I know is he also is a leading owner of bucking bulls and is sometimes featured at PBR events.
Ron White who? Edit: Okay I see your #26 reply.
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
Capitalist Erica must be a great chef. All the guys in the soup kitchen line all talk about how well he "TOSSES SALAD".
Edit: Okay I see your #26 reply. He part owns 'Scene of the Crash' which I think has been retired. Larry the Cable Guy is a leading part owner too, including 'Chicken on a Chain'.
I think I know who you're referring to now. I'm not much into the comedy stuff. Thanks.
OH! I know what you're babbling about now....he must have been thinking of you when he said.... proceed...

Me neither. I'm just happy they are putting money into a sport I enjoy.

"YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID" I wouldn't know any of his catch phrases. But I'm sure you can recite them all.
I listened to some of allred press conference about whitman this am and it's even sillier then i thought it would be, the woman said he didn't get mileage reimbursement and whitman fired her when she found out the housekeeper was illegal. looks like allred stepped on her saggy tits again
Capitalist Erica must be a great chef. All the guys in the soup kitchen line all talk about how well he "TOSSES SALAD".
Really? I voted for a GOP the last time around. Just not the officially approved candidate. I'm sharpening up the pencil for another write in, maybe I'll write YOU in. lol
No real surprise. its clearly a political smear campaign. It won't work.

You might be on to something. Given how much sympathy O'Donnell is getting for being broke and in debt, a failed business owner might be just the ticket.
Oh skippy, I know you wish for that to be my fate...but like the above, a swing and a miss. One of us owns a company thats still in business. The other one..is you. Run along, kid, run along.

Meg Whitman has some explaining to do on illegal immigrant housekeeper Pardon me, but I have a few questions here on California's tough-on-immigration gubernatorial candidate, Meg Whitman, who seems to have had an illegal immigrant in her house for nine years. TalkBackLopez_187x105Is that not the stuff of great fiction? Whitman says the housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz, had passed herself off as legal and had papers to back her up. All right. That's believable. Whitman says the woman acknowledged in 2009 that she was undocumented, fearing that the truth would be dug up in the heat of the campaign. All right, maybe. Whitman and her husband were shocked, says Whitman, and immediately fired the housekeeper. Also believable, even though the housekeeper claims, through attorney Gloria Allred, that Whitman knew she didn't have papers. But wait a minute. The no-nonsense candidate who opposes a path to legal citizenship, and wants the government to go after businesses that hire illegal immigrants, didn't feel the need to report the housekeeper to authorities when she confessed? What did she think might happen? That the housekeeper would go back where she came from? That someone else would hire her not knowing she was illegal? Or did she maybe think to herself, privately, of course, that the housekeeper was a decent person trying to live a better life in a country where wealthy people like Whitman are all too happy to hire them, and not terribly inclined to probe their backgrounds? What did the Whitmans pay the housekeeper, by the way? Did they offer health insurance, or let the public pick up the tab at a county hospital, which many illegal immigrants use as a doctor's office. Do the Whitmans have any other domestics whose papers should be checked? Does Jerry Brown? Help me out, readers. Anybody out there have any more questions for Meg? -- Steve Lopez http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/09/steve-lopez-meg-whitman-has-some-explaining-to-do-on-illegal-immigrant-housekeeper.html

So why SHOULD anyone vote for Harry Reid
