Do we need a Christine O'Donnell forum?

[Beaverhausen]

Come on folks, can we calm down about her, please?

edit- I'm not really serious.

1. Heavens.. you surely know this cycle too will pass...

Let people have their schadenfreude with the RETHUGs imploding... Its been a long drought..

[dennis4868]

2. I agree....

the media cannot stop talking about her also....in 2 months she will lose and her 15 minutes will be up.....we will never have to hear from her again (i hope).

[Beaverhausen]

5. but all this media attention might work in her favor? Are they reporting all the nutty stuff posted

...here? or are they saying how great it was she won?

[dennis4868]

20. I don't even think people know what her views are....

Being a member of the tea party what plan can you have to put people back to work....they don't believe in any government intervention/spending programs.....their only plans are getting rid of taxes, medicare, medicaid and social security (as long as you don't take away their entitlements). How will that create a job?

3. Not until there is a mens forum.

4. You can't live with a little O'Donnell fever for one fucking day?

:wtf:

[Beaverhausen]

8. I'm just sayin' - it's getting a little crazy

I wasn't really serious.

I'm kinda having fun finding out how nutty she is but I'm also scared that this much of a nut won and could actually win the general.

[BurtWorm]

11. I admit it: I'm a trainwreck watcher!

:popcorn:

I don't think this one's going to pull through, myself. This is another case of a Palin hitting the klieg lights before anyone knew enough to keep her out of them.

(I didn't mean to be so snippy--or I did, but then I saw it was you and now I feel bad. Please forgive me!)

[Beaverhausen]

13. No prob. I used to live in Delaware and I just heard from a friend who knows Coons

says he's a good guy. I really hope all this publicity for O'Donnell doesn't hurt his chances.

[BurtWorm]

16. Actually, there is reason to be at least a little worried.

Republicans are now starting to pour money into O'Donnell's campaign. I think if they really believed she was worthless to them, she'd get nothing. But she's worth at least something to them. The Mormon dude--what's his name? I'm blanking--Romney, for example, sees the opportunity to tell baggers "I put my money ($5,000) where your loud, ignorant mouths were!" But some are probably thinking, we can buy this person. She may be all rough and unpolished now, which might make her appealing enough to get elected, but if she is elected, we can buy her and own her. They probably feel this way about all of the marks they've got running for the tea party.

6. I plead guilty myself...I was just struck by how unpleasant, even obnoxious, she was

in her "victory" speech, altho I know it was aimed at republicans.

However, I'm glad we had this flurry of posts because I learned some interesting things about her that I hadn't known before...

After the Nov. election, she'll be history...

7. She will be forgotten by January. nt

9. Hi, have you ever been to DU?

we have a tendency of milking a news cycle. tomorrow will all be pissed about something else.

[prolesunited]

10. Exactly

And everybody is so important, so insightful, so clever that they need to start their own thread.

[frogmarch]

12. I thought you were serious, and

I was going to say, YAY-USSSS! :applause:

I like the idea, even if it would be for just a little while.

[Beaverhausen]

14. Or maybe we could have a tea party nutjob forum

[frogmarch]

17. Yes, that too! nt

[Cleita]

15. No, but maybe a crazy Republican ladies forum might

be in order. :crazy:

[PBS Poll-435]

18. She is the greatest thing to happen in politics in a very long time

Skinner should rename the DU to CO'Underground.com for a day.


:P

19. There's room in the Do It Yourself Group.

21. Maybe there could be a dungeon forum

for ALL the wacko teabaggers. We can throw Joe Miller in there, too.

[IcyPeas]

22. like, as in "Penthouse Forum"
