Christine O'Donnell is pictured left. Today, Tuesday the 14th, the GOP Party will choose their candidate for the Joe Biden Senate seat in Delaware. The State went to Obama in the '08 election by a vote margin of nearly 2 to 1.
On the Republican ticket, it is O'Donnell running against one of the more liberal House Republicans , a man named Mike Castle. He has been around for years and is considered to be the more desirable candidate by the establishment withing the GOP. "Win baby win" is the only doctrine of the GOP Establishment when it comes to competing in election politics. It is this kind of buffoonery that allowed Mayor Bloomberg to become a Republican, when in point of fact, he shared absolutely nothing
in common with Republican values, much less conservative values.
Ditto Schwarzenegger of California or Collins and Snowe of Maine, Chuck Hael (R-Neb), Dick Lugar (Indiana) and Arlen Specter before his defection (rhymes with "infection").
Back to Christine O'Donnell. The state GOP sees her as a "loser" and ABC describes her candidacy as Kamikazi politics. O'Donnell is supported by the TEA Party Express, Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint. Understand that Midknight Review does not subscribe to the view that "electability" is or should be a determining factor in candidate selection unless, of course, the candidates are all conservative in their political views.
We see no point in the GOP Establishment 's fear of offering real choices to the American People. The notion that an "R" before a representative's name is more important than whether that representative is a true conservative is preposterous on its face. If O'Donnell is the GOP candidate for the November election and loses that election, conservatives need to come back at the next opportunity with another candidate. The TEA Party is not going to have success at all levels and in every case. The Marxist Media will, of course, try to convince folks that "conservatism is dead" rather than focusing on issues.
Understand that conservatism is on the rise and our appeal is to a nation that has been "center right" for as long as any of us can remember. Our goal is the total eradication of Marxist values from the political scene and the mitigation of old school liberal notions (the two are very different).
Today may give us another conservative voice in the election process. Whether or not she wins in November makes NOT DIFFERENCE to the continuing effort to take our country back from the extremists who infect the political health of this country.
