Christine O'Donnell claims she was Obama's top opponents in 2010

O'Donnell claims she was Obama's top opponent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell of Delaware is claiming in a fundraising letter that she was the White House's top opponent in the 2010 election.

O'Donnell, who lost badly in her third consecutive Senate bid last year and is being investigated for potential spending violations during the campaign, is raising money for a new political action committee she formed recently to spread her message. In her letter, sent to supporters Tuesday, she said her tea party-backed campaign forced the White House to put resources into Delaware last year, including visits by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

"You are the reason that President Obama came to Delaware in late 2010, diverting his attention from other states he could have campaigned in," the letter says. "You are the reason that a frantic White House dispatched Vice President Joe Biden, again and again, to campaign in Delaware to defeat me, who they regarded as their number one opponent."

O'Donnell pulled off a stunning upset in the GOP primary, but her campaign was later plagued by revelations about her unconventional past, including a thin employment record, contested campaign finance spending, and previous statements about opposing masturbation and dabbling in witchcraft as a teenager.

She trailed badly in the polls throughout the general election, eventually losing by 17 points to Democrat Chris Coons.


Dear Dingbat O'Donnell

Did you ever think the reason that Biden campaigned in Delaware is because HIS HOMESTATE IS DELAWARE? He actually comes home to visit several times a month. Did you look at the rest of the ballot and notice that there was the name BEAU BIDEN on it - perhaps he was doing some campaigning for his son? And seriously, you make a 1hr helicopter trip from DC to do campaigning by the president out to be some massive mission to defeat you. Obama's VP is from Delaware, you'd think Obama would do the VEEP a favor and visit our state 1-2 times a year. BTW, he only stopped by once and he was also there to campaign for Beau Biden and John Carney too.

If Obama really wanted to put an effort into the state you would have lost by way more than 17points.

Do us a favor and please move home to New Jersey. Maybe Chris Christie will hire you

Sincerely,

The Smart People of Delaware

9. As long as
People are stupid enough to give her, and those like her, money, they will be out there selling themselves for the almighty dollar, just like Palin! There is a sucker born every minute and people like these are there to get their money!

12. My memory's going
What was Obama running for in 2010? I thought he was elected to a four-year term in 2008, so he wasn't really running for anything in 2010. Bless her heart she can't help it that she's so dumb; but did the Republicans have to run her for office? This should be kind of embarrassing for them, no?

16. Actually they had a pretty sane guy as their candidate with Mike Castle
but since Delaware primaries are closed, moderates and independents weren't able to get Castle elected over the mouth-breathers that voted for O'Donnell.

14. Oh, Christine, bless your heart.
What an enormous dunderhead she is. Seriously, she's Palin's Mini-Me, only dumber (if that's even possible).

15. Delusions of adaquacy and competence
It's actually pretty sad. But she'll blow through the PAC money in short order. Maybe she'll be forced to get a real job.
