Christine O'Donnell: GOP Establishment Isn't Giving Me Enough Help
WASHINGTON — Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware is calling out the Republican establishment in Washington for not helping her underdog campaign.

In an interview on ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday, the tea party favorite said she has asked the National Republican Senatorial Committee for help but that the group is standing on the sidelines even though her Democratic rival, Chris Coons, is getting a boost from his party.

A spokesman for the Republican committee, Brian Walsh, has noted that the group gave O'Donnell the maximum direct contribution of $42,000 and is working with her campaign.

The committee is not spending heavily on ads as it is in closer races elsewhere. Polls show Coons with a strong lead.

4. They probably know she'll just pocket the money
Like she's done with previous campaigns. How do you have over 2.5 million in your campaign war chest and still cry "BROKE". This is Delaware, it's one of the cheapest states to do campaigning in. And Toll both jokes aside this is still a cheap state to run.

10. Why would they help her when they have other competitive races to defend?
The writing is on the wall pretty much that this race is over. The only thing surprising is that the same person who is all for freedoms etc doesn't want to stand on her own but get as much as she can from the very party that she insults and basically caused to lose a winnable state.

11. Could it be that they think she's nuts too?
Even mainstream Repubs are embarrassed by her.

13. Maybe
It's because she's too much of a bat-shit crazy fucktard even for them.

She is one of the most idiotic nominees by a major party in history.
