Ex Campaign manager: O'Donnell lives off donations from last campaign, just wants to 'make a buck'
Edited on Wed Sep-15-10 03:17 PM by BurtWorm
This is the result of Tea Party Express's Our Country Deserves Better <sic> campaign to get beauts like O'Donnell on the ballot:

Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell stands with Tea Party protesters in Delaware. (O'Donnell campaign)

...


The state GOP chairman, Tom Ross, for his part, was downright hostile to O’Donnell and the outside groups that got behind her. Ross repeatedly called O’Donnell a “perennial candidate” with no real ties to Delaware, and later commented that she “could not be elected dogcatcher.”

That fact that O’Donnell has now secured the GOP nomination presents an awkward problem for the Republican candidate and her state party, which had vowed not to help her should she win. O’Donnell will likely continue to receive aid from enthusiastic outside conservative groups, but will face an uphill battle in convincing mainstream organizations that she has a real shot at attracting independent or even moderate Republican votes.

Democrats, for their part, have a whole trove of opposition research against O’Donnell, found by Republican operatives who tried to discredit her campaign. Just yesterday, a former O’Donnell aide, Kristin Murray, recorded a robocall that labeled her “a complete fraud.”

“This is her third Senate race in five years. As O’Donnell’s manager, I found out she was living on campaign donations — using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt,” Murray said. “She wasn’t concerned about conservative causes. O’Donnell just wanted to make a buck.”

4. Maybe the GOP is thinking, 'This dunce can be bought...'

Cornyn not only endorsed O'Donnell, he also sent her a check for $42,000 -- which may not sound like much in a statewide race, but it happens to be double the amount O'Donnell had in the bank as of two weeks ago.

2. Karl Rove did wonder what she does for a living
But seeing how she "swept" to victory on the strength of about 30,000 votes in the Republican primary, I don't think we're going to have to worry overmuch about Miss O'Donnell for very long (there are about nine times that number of registered Democrats in Delaware).
