Coons on O'Donnell: 'I'm not sure why she's running' for Senate
By Sean J. Miller - 10/17/10 10:59 AM ET

"She's run for the -- for the United States Senate three times in five years. That's a lot of persistence," Coons said. "I think my grandmother would have said she has a lot of moxie. … I'm not sure why she's running, but that's up for -- that's up to her to explain."

Coons said he's aware of how important Delaware in helping Democrats keep control of the Senate.

"I don't think there's a scenario where the Republican take control of the United States Senate if I'm successful in this Senate seat," Coons said. "And I've been told that's a critical strategic concern for folks who are looking at this race from outside."

O’Donnell, meanwhile, reiterated her complaint that national and Delaware Republicans aren't helping her campaign.

"The state party isn't helping us," she said. "And we're asking the national Republican senatorial to help us. We've got the Democratic senatorial committee coming after me. We're hoping that the National Republican Senatorial Committee will help us. But it's two-and-a-half weeks left, and they're not."

1. That's okay. She's not sure why she's running either.

5. Oh, but she does know!
It's all about the "MONEY" for her. As was mentioned in another thread, she pays herself to run, and from what her former employees say, she uses all those donations for her own use, rent, shopping, and anything else she needs to use it for. The woman is like Palin, all they both care about is the MONEY!

2. Republic Senatorial Committee memo to Christine O'Donnell:
"The check's in the mail."

This observer simply cannot fathom why the GOP isn't thrilled to pieces over O'Donnell's candidacy.

4. Nothing more than an obedient, submissive republican placeholder to vote as she's instructed.

6. She needed the money she couldn't find a job, so
she wants those campaign funds to pay her bills. If there was a thorough investigation I bet they would find all kinds of discrepancies.
