Claims she made more than she reported to IRS last year but it's no one's business

She may not be a multi-millionaire, and she may have earned more than the paltry $5,800 she reported to the IRS last year, but Christine O'Donnell is no dummy. Taking lessons from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin -- whose endorsement made her a contender to begin with -- a conservative office-seeker is employing the "attack the messenger" defense to combat concerns about her private and public financing.

"A Tea Party-backed candidate in today's Delaware Republican primary for Senate said today that ads attacking her personal financial history are an insult to voters, and said recent polling showing her running strong against the candidate backed by GOP leaders suggests voters are 'fighting back,' David S. Morgan reports for Political Hotsheet at CBS News.

Huliq News notes, "After Delaware GOP Congressional candidate Christine O'Donnell was accused of not paying college debts and illegal campaign fundraising, she retorted on CBS's 'The Early Show,' with 'I'm an average hard-working American. I'm not a multi-millionaire like my opponent.'"

The Political Hotsheet article adds that "there's been increased scrutiny of O'Donnell's personal financial history, which her opponents say precludes her from effectively overseeing public finances, and complaints about alleged illegal campaign fundraising."

1. If she pays her taxes or not is our business...

the repubs are the ones making a stink about Rangel's taxes now...so if she evaded paying her fair share it's important...


And if she doesn't pay her bills ...she's not responsible and shouldn't be hired (elected) as a senator...She would likely vote against the bill making credit checks for job applicants illegal, since that is the repub stance...so why shouldn't her credit history make a difference in the election?

2. It's like asking Bernie Madoff to guard your retirement portfolio.

Cornholio.

3. Tax chiseler, campaign cheat

Sounds like a perfect fit for the Republicans. Can't see why that would insult the voters at all. Hell, we expect Republicans to lie, steal and cheat. We'll see if these items, non-issues in the Republican primary, gain any traction during the general election campaign.
