Who would have thunk it - I mean she had almost a million left after her 2010 Senate race plus she had what was to be that best selling book she put out last August. Now she's broke again. Boohoo Boohoo
O'Donnell's political arm faces significant monetary shortfall

Without a big infusion of cash, Christine O'Donnell's fledgling political organization could soon go broke.
O'Donnell has burned through most of the $424,000 in campaign donations remaining from the record-setting $7.4 million she raised in her failed 2010 U.S. Senate campaign.
She has nearly exhausted her leftover funds, has reportedly had lackluster book sales and is being sued by a longtime supporter who claims she's trying to stiff him out of pay for political consulting and legal research. Her political action committee, ChristinePAC, and Senate campaign had a combined $36,100 left in the bank at the end of 2011, according to reports filed last week.
The descent of the one-time darling of the tea party has been noticed within Delaware and Washington, D.C., political circles.
Here's a thought Christine - GO HOME TO NEW JERSEY. Oh and get a real job. Geez you're my age and I'm about 2000000000 times more qualified to hold a political office then you are simply because I've held jobs, done volunteer work, had life experience, and yes even mastered my domain from time to time so to speak.
Go away!

LynneSin
(95,337 posts)It's funny - in the article it talks about how she met with ChristinePAC donors in Florida - all 10 of them. And outside the meeting 15 Tea Party members protested her. Her endorsement of Mittens pretty much made her a political outcast.

Republicans shouldn't run if they need the money to pay their bills (paraphrased).

(95,337 posts)Her house (which was around the corner where I live) was foreclosed on (but not her fault she says). She lives with her parents in NJ.
