Sarah Palin advisers prepped Christine O'Donnell for debate


By some reckonings, Christine O'Donnell had a bit of a rocky time at her Delaware Senate debate with Dem Chris Coons last night. She wouldn't say whether she believe in evolution, described Coons as a Marxist, and appeared to stumble over her answer on discretionary funding.

Goldfarb insists he was happy with her performance, claiming that Coons and the moderators had ganged up on her. "She came off as the far more likeable candidate," Goldfarb said. "Coons just kept his head down to the extent he could. My view was that it was three on one, and she held her own."

Goldfarb also rejected claims that O'Donnell botched her answer on Afghanistan, when she said that "we were fighting the Soviets over there in Afghanistan in the '80s and '90s" and that "we did not finish the job."

"Her point was that we left and that was a huge problem," he said. "Her point that we were there fighting the Soviets, that's also fundamentally true. The CIA was in Afghanistan. We were arming, equipping, training."

Still, it's hard to imagine a more daunting task than prepping O'Donnell for a high-profile, high-stakes debate. But Goldfarb insists that wasn't the case at all: "She's extremely impressive -- she's not a career politican."

No, she certainly isn't.

1. That explains her stealing Sarah's lines...
But she's going to post them on her website instead of gathering some up "and bring them to ya!"

3. I don't know Goldfarb, but he has my greatest admiration!
ANYoNE who could actually try to teach BOTH Sarah & Christine has to be either an absolute saint or a total moron who isn't affected by anything.

6. I don't believe "dense" is the right word.
It implies something is there.

9. She was probably all ready to answer, "Which newspapers do you read"?
But instead they tricked her with the Supreme Court question.

Very crafty.

10. Sarah probably coached her on...
..Supreme Court decisions and fighting the Soviets.


She's a distraction.

11. You guys are so mean!
Just tonight on the news I heard Christine say that she doesn't just represent the TP...she's there for all women!

She specifically mentioned the "Hillary Clinton Democrats".

No need to sweet talk me, Girlfriend. You had me at "witchcraft".
