Question: why dump O'Donnell but worship Palin?
Help me out with this one:
I must be dense, but it just don't make sense:

The republican party essential shat all over the O'Donnell campaign,
even those she was annointed by Palin.
She lost and blamed her party of choice for not supporting her.

So... O'Donnel wasn't 'qualified,' but Palin is?

Is there only room for one village idiot in TeaBagger town?
No... there's plenty of idiocy to go around,
but why dump O'Donnell?

2. Devil's advocate: at least Palin has done something.
I mean, she quit, but at least she was an elected official at the local and state level.

O'Donnell never did ANYTHING. She literally woke up one morning and said, "I think I can be a U.S. Senator."

8. They love her as long as she's getting out the vote...
...but are already talking about how to take her out if she runs. She's a tool, just like all teabaggers.

4. I think the Republicans knew she didn't have any chance. They don't like
Palin either but with her vast fan base they have to tread more carefully. IMO, natch. :7

7. Eh?
I think it's because Palin went a little too 'rogue' for Rove's taste. He didn't want Christine O'Donnell in that seat and so he punished Palin by not supporting her. They had at least $187 Million to spend on this campaign - they could have thrown some of that at her campaign. But instead they chose not to.

It's one part Christine - but 2 parts THAT Woman not knowing her place and bowing down to the good old boys network within her party. She knew better yet went on ahead and did it anyway.
