RALLY CROWD CHEERS CHRISTINE O'DONNELL AS SHE DISCUSSES HER CANDIDACY IN THE 2010 U.S. SENATE RACE FOR JOE BIDEN'S SEAT.
Christine O'Donnell was welcomed with a huge applause as she addressed the audience at a recent Dover, DE rally. The audience cheered as Christine expressed her opposition to the government takeover of health care, wasteful spending, and other anti-free-enterprise efforts by Washington beltway politicians, and why 2010 holds great promise in turning the tide in Congress.
Christine told the audience that although she has not officially announced her candidacy, she has filed in the 2010 U.S. Senate race. On other words, she's all in. The official announcement will come when the O'Donnell for US Senate team reaches their first fundraising goal. She stressed that she is running in this special election no matter how long it takes to reach that initial goal.
Christine O'Donnell won the Republican Party nomination for the U.S. Senate race in last year's Delaware election. On September 30, 2009, Rasmussen Reports released a poll showing that Christine holds state-wide name recognition, and when compared to Mike Castle and Beau Biden, Christine ranks with them in the 40 percentile bloc, with a two-to-one edge over Biden among unaffiliated voters.
The Delaware 9-12 Patriots have invited Christine O'Donnell and Mike Castle to participate in what will be the first debate of this election cycle. Christine has accepted the invitation. Organizers are awaiting Rep. Castle's response. The tentative date for this debate is January 9, 2010. Check back for more details.
