Once upon a time there was a young Abstinence Advocate named Christine O'Donnell who ran for the GOP Senate nomination (to fill Vice President Biden's Senate Seat) in the tiny, magical state of Delaware. Much to the surprise of Mainstream Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, young Christine was taken up by a tornado of Tea Party Supporters, crashing her down upon their hope for re-gaining control of the senate away from the Democratic party in the November 2010 elections.
As it turns out, even Sarah Palin's endorsement of Christine O'Donnell may not be enough to help the Delaware candidate from escaping Bill Maher's tape of her admitting that she used to pal around with witches (and who knows what other goodies he may still be holding onto?) But then, who among us hasn't dated a witch or had a midnight date on a Satanic alter?
It really is mind-boggling that candidates like O'Donnell are picking up party nomination for no other reason than their support for tax cuts. People are blindly voting their pocket books with no fear of the consequences of sending incompetent right-wing goofballs to Washington at a time when the US faces challenges requiring the best minds and hearts.
