Christine O’Donnell’s Website Stripped Of All Information

Christine O’Donnell’s Website Stripped Of All Information

Tea party candidate Chistine O’Donnell has long history of taking outrageous stances on everything from evolution to lying to Nazis, but now that she is the GOP Senate nominee from Delaware, she may try tacking towards the middle to reach out a wider base, starting with her website. Christine2010.com, O’Donnell’s website, now resolves to nothing more than splash page asking people to donate. There is no content, contact info, or biography.

However, until at least 9:32 last night, there were several other pages, including one titled “About Christie,” another explaining, “Why Christie?” another supposedly debunking smears against O’Donnell, a list of endorsements, and several press releases. Here is a screen grab, recovered from Google cache, of the many options a visitor to O’Donnell’s website would have had, had they visited her site before it was stripped:



The URL for all of these pages now direct to an error page. Could O’Donnell be trying to reinvent herself?

Links to images of the site in the orginal.

Trying to hide those teabagger credentials?
:rofl:

4. Google cache
comes up with fun stuff:

"Career politician Castle is making an issue of the fact that it took me over ten years to pay off my tuition bill. As a result my diploma was delayed. As FOX News, the Wilmington News Journal, and numerous other media sources have confirmed, I have a degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

In 1993, I participated in my school’s Cap and Gown ceremony. Yet, the “diploma” in my hand was actually a bursar’s bill for outstanding tuition payments. It took me over a decade to pay off that bill as well as my student loans. Once the bill was paid in full (over 10 years later), the question of whether or not my credits had expired became an issue that even further delayed the awarding of my official diploma."


She doesn't pay her bills.

10. I think Castle should endorse Chris Coors. I really do! If I were him, I'd be really pissed off!

11. A borrower and spender - no pay as you go?
Tax THEN spend.

Save THEN spend.

It's very American, or at least it used to be.

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:christine2010.com

All of the 'Cached' links I clicked on had the pages saved.

13. This doesn't make any sense. If she got elected by teabaggers, why wouldn't she want to continue to
proudly display her teabagging credentials?

18. Her strategy is: win primary by appealing to extremists, win general by appealing
to folk who don't pay too much attention

17. All that's left is a money generating machine
she has had $750,000 donated to her cause now so far.

probably a million dollars in 24 hours after her primary win.

how much does coons have for the general. anybody know yet?


It still boils out to boots/votes on the ground.

not to scare anybody but in this primary, only 34k Delaware democrats showed up at the polls. 57k republicans showed up for the castle/o'donnell contest. Good thing the democrat contest was only about the auditor/treasurer and not senate.

22. She's going to pull a Rubio. I hope DE voters aren't as stupid as the ones in FL...

... since polls show Rubio leading Crist since the former's transformation from a Tea Party darling to a centrist.
