"The time has come for us to put down the protest signs and pick up the campaign signs" says Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express.
Apparently Sarah Palin agrees. Yesterday Sarah Palin officially endorsed Christine O'Donnell for Delaware Senate on Sean Hannity's show. Hannity tweeted about the incident after the show.
It also seems the RNC (Republican National Committee) agrees and is ready to pick up campaign signs… for Mike Castle. The RNC has allegedly been making "robo-calls" to voters in Delaware informing people of Castle's fiscal conservatism. Many already frustrated Delawareans are now becoming angry. They are attempting to call the RNC office today and let them know that Delaware is tired of their establishment candidate (202-863-8500).
O'Donnell's campaign, still most likely reeling from their unexpected Palin endorsement discussed Palin's words (spoken and written). Palin had the following to say about O'Donnell: "The wave of positive change can really sweep across our land with the election of Constitutional Conservatives who promise to use common sense and rein in the federal government spending! Please support Christine O’Donnell in Delaware. She will support efforts for America’s energy security, patient-centered health care reform, cutting government waste, and letting the private sector thrive and prosper! We can’t afford “more of the same” in Washington. Christine will help usher in the real change we need to get America on the right track. Please visit her website at www.christine2010.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter."
The Delaware GOP's response? Tom Ross (who claimed that "she could not be elected dog catcher,") strangely enough has filed a FEC complaint against O'Donnell pointing to the Tea Party Express and claiming there is illegal activity. Strangely enough Tom Ross may also be heard on NPR (National Public Radio) discussing the O'Donnell and Castle race. One may find it interesting that Tom Ross "Tom Russ explains why candidate Mike Castle is right for the job" on a known Democrat station. Ross points to the number of people who attended a single O'Donnell rally "they had 50 people to rally for a United States Senate candidate". Mike Castle certainly has more people than that when he shows up in Sussex County, but that may be because he refuses to have any pre-announced rallies in the fear that he may have to account for his voting record.
The Tea Party Express is holding a rally tonight in Sussex County. The 9-12 Delaware Patriots sent out some of the rally information:
"Sussex County - Friday, Sept 10th at 5:30 pm - American Legion Post #28, 3178 Legion Road, Millsboro.
Guest Speakers and Musical Stars:
Tea Party Musical Stars Lloyd Marcus, Rivoli Review and Diana Nagy as well as special guest speakers to include Tea Party Express Chairman, Amy Kremer and Gold Star mom, Debbie Lee.
The 9-12 Delaware Patriots along with other grass roots organizations and candidates will have a booth set up at both rallies. We will have tents set up for shade, please bring your chairs.
Candidates are invited to come and interact with the citizens of Delaware by setting up booths at the Mall. No RSVP is needed."
Maybe Tom Ross is right and only 50 people will show up here as well… One hopes he is proven wrong. Of course, one life-long Republican state the following to myself and his friends:
" I gave notice to the Delaware GOP, I am dropping them after the Primary's. I have to get my vote in for Christine O'Donnell. 38 years a Republican, now it is time I become an Independent.
I will not vote for any GOP backed person in Delaware.
Mike Castle, Michele Rollins, Tom Wagner and Colin Bonini.
Pass the word, we are sick of the good old boy network."

I continue to receive jumbo postcards from Urquhart and Castle. Ironically, Urquhart supports Castle.
and his campaign manager, Vance Phillips is also a party hack. Watch Vance Phillip's remarkable transformation once this election is over and he goes back into his race for Sussex County Council.
Then you'll clearly understand what two-faced, party hacks are all about.
The Delaware GOP is endorsing:
Mike Caslte, Michele Rollins, Tom Wagner and Colin Bonini.
I'd think twice before voting for any of these candidates on Tuesday
I'm a Registered Democrat and I am voting for Christine.
I am confident Christine will win the primary against Castle.
Mini-Palin's biggest victory will be getting Coons elected.
She may come close but she will still lose to Castle.
Then she'll go for the general election as an independent or tea party whatever and siphon off enough votes from Castle to get Coons elected.
Personally I really hope that she does not get elected. It's just scary that anyone would think Christine is responsible enough be our representative. The same way it's scary that anyone would think that Palin should be a heartbeat away from president.
We only get 1 rep in DE and that's why I'm going with Coons. He's a real up and comer and he has shown that he can handle the pressure of making tough decisions as NCCO executive.
Great article Angel. No worries, with this election we will oust the blue blood ruling class from the DE GOP and put the party power back in the hands of the people. We need YOU to stay in the party and challenge the elitist who will back into the shadows once we storm the Castle.
Rollins is Mike Castle in a dress, yet she is a little more masculine. She is the candidate that the blue bloods begged to get into the race. Once the Castle crumbles we will need to put the go along, get along politicians like Wagner and Bonini to the test.

You gotta be kiddin me Coons is a joke in NCC. "only 1 rep is DE" Helloooo this is a Senate race. Every state has 2 Senators, our founding father made a compromise, big state vs small state, look it up. You must be thrilled with your NEA union education. Gee if we could all be as SMRT as the village idiot Joe Biden who IS one heartbeat away from president.
Apologize I don't what I was thinking confusing this with the rep race. Long day! I'm well aware of how it works that was a typo. Say what u will about biden, But you got to be kidding me if you feel palin was more qualified to be veep than him.
Castle didn't go negative until O'Donnell tried to attack his marriage by trying to call him gay. She did it again yesterday. Look, even DE Native is trying to further that rumor just like O'Donnell has been doing since May. She plays dirty politics than turns around and acts like the victim.
She also pretended to have a college degree in her last two senate runs, and she had the nerve to attack Biden for plagiarism in 2008.
Abraham Lincoln was so honest he walked 3 miles to return a penny. Christine O'Donnell can't even tell the truth about how many counties she won in 2008. When did lying become a virtue?
And what kind of Christian woman attacks a man's marriage over and over again like O'Donnell has been doing to Castle?

Got something to say?
