O’Donnell: ‘The Republican Party Will Never be the Same’

“We had an incredible victory … We have won,” said Christine O’Donnell in her concession speech tonight. “The Delaware political system will never be the same. … The Republican party will never be the same. And that’s a good thing.”
O’Donnell said she had urged Coons, in her concession call, to fight against higher taxes.
“We’re not going to stop fighting, either, ‘cause there’s a lot of work to be done,” O’Donnell added. “Our elected officials will be held accountable by their constituents, like it or not.”
She ended the speech on an upbeat note: “We’ve got a lot of food, we’ve got the room all night, so God bless you. Let’s party.”
Sorry I was negative about her. Probably she deserved to win.
Fucking NRO broken as usual.

You should post a hot Hallowe'en witch. Instead you kvetch about your labels.
VCP.
NRO has been too much of Voorhees VII. Note that Rove did his level best to leave her stranded, and now crows about how he "was right about her". Chumpion du Jour.
Well, a whole bunch among the Dems who are but won't bray about it in public lest the rubes know too much.
Rove was right. We lost a shot at the fucking Senate and so lost a shot to smack the Dems so hard they agree to repeal Obama's destruction.
Of course Rove was right. But you were singing a different tune when he said it. Victory has a thousand fathers, defeat is an orphan. Or something like that.
At any rate, once O'Donnell won the primary, it was crystal clear the GOP threw away its chance at winning the Senate. C'est la vie. One makes do with the hadn that was dealt. Overall, it's a much better hand than in Nov 2008. Let's not forget that, boys.
Shit. Reid wins. Bummer. Mass voters all of a sudden look less idiotic than Rot says. At least the economy there is in more-or-less in reasonable shape. But Reid helps run Nevada into the ground, and then gets re-elected?
Not to say California. Who else would elect, let alone re-elect after 30 some years Gov. Moonbeam?
Rove was not right. He refused to help O'Donnell out of a fit of pique at his old bud Castle losing the primary. He joined McConnel in enabling Murkowski's run against Miller--both by trying to withhold support for Miller and by giving every sign to Murkowski that she would have tacit GOP approval for trying to unseat Miller. His shit nearly cost us Miller, as well.
The Tea Party saved the GOP this time, and did so bigtime. Had it been left to Rove and his Merry DC Minstrels the Tea Party would have been a disaffected third party, the opposition to Obama would have been divided and conquered, and right now Speaker Pelosi and Grim Reider would have been preparing for a confab with Obamakles on how to complete the putsch in the next two years.
Palin/O'Donnell are right. About the old GOP guard as the Pepean Dems.
Kalifornia is beyond redemption. As for Nevada, as soon as a few days ago we heard reports of those machines recording Dem votes when clicked on Repubs, it felt like the Chicago fix was in.
I think you're too harsh on Rove. First, he's not a party boss or something, just a political consultant and a freelance commentator. He was under no real obligation to help O'Donnell -- unlike, say, Steele, who gave her money and reasonable support. I think he was honestly pissed at seeing a sure win going up in smoke, just like that. It's a normal human reaction -- why impute mephistophelic motives over that?
Having said that, the GOP senators reaction to Murkowski's double cross of a clear winner in the Alaska primary was an altogether different matter. There is no way to justify that.
Yes, California is hopeless. And yes, the fix was in in Vegas. It's gotten worse there than in Chicago.
OK, OK. There is though Scotty Brown...
The silver lining: of something like a dozen votes I cast, one went with the winner. That's lowering the double-taxation on booze. Wowsers. That will buy me an extra six-pack per year. You guys think this will settle the tab?
