Michelle Rollins Speaks
Thanks to commenter John Manifold for pointing us to this post at Delaware Grapevine. Sussex County Republicans celebrated a belated Lincoln Day event and Michelle Rollins was one of the featured speakers. She sounds like she’s going to run:
“Four score and seven days ago, I awoke with a dread that said I can throw my shoe at the TV, but Nancy Pelosi does not go away,” Rollins said.
“It is time for those of us who believe in our American system to put aside our wonderful lives and say, the American system is too important to us to sit back and hope that someone fixes it.
“I’m not here to announce tonight, but I’m here to tell you I’m very close in the process to making that decision, because we cannot allow our grandchildren to be deprived of the lives and opportunities we had growing up as children in America.”
From Cohen’s reporting, it sounds like Republicans are already doing a touchdown dance and Mike Castle is measuring the curtains for his new Senate office. Neil Newhouse, the pollster for Scott Brown and perhaps for Michelle Rollins, was the event’s featured speaker.
“This is the single best year for the Republicans since 1994. If you ever wanted to run for office as a Republican, this is the year,” Newhouse said — with one caveat. “Scott Brown’s election was an early wakeup call for the Democrats. This is why it’s not 1994 all over again.”
Apparently Republicans are calling the Brown victory the “Teddy Turnaround.” This more than anything makes me want to make sure that neither Mike Castle nor Michelle Rollins go to Washington, D.C. next year.

Michelle throw a shoe at a TV? Never! Not when she has a muscular,dreadlocked cabana boy available to do it for her.
“Four score and seven days ago, I awoke with a dread that said I can throw my shoe at the TV, but Nancy Pelosi does not go away,” Rollins said.
That has to be one of the dumbest, nonsensical things ever said. Talk about Palining a comment.
What are Rethugs going to do when they discover that their golden girl is pro-choice? After all, I’ve spent the last 10 years listening to people say you just can’t vote for a pro-choice candidate. I’m also waiting for those hardcore Catholics to spew their venom about Rollins receiving Communion like they did about Carney and still do about Biden (but never a word about pro-stem cell research Catholic Mike Castle).
Four score and seven days from now, let’s see how things are progressing.
whats the point in hyperventilating about the minutiae of who’s going to run and who isn’t? Carney is going to win, so is Castle.
Don’t worry, Mike abortion will be an issue. A lot of Republicans are already organizing. She could have an advantage if the pro-life vote remains split 3 ways with Cullis in the middle. The pro-choice republicans in Delaware may be a minority, but they are a very sizable one this is not Oklahoma or Alabama. The worse thing that happened to them was Markell. They lost 9K potential primary voters. Where have you been when it comes to criticism of Mike Castle from the pro-life community?
No single issue will determine the nominee, but I already see that this won’t be one left out.
“because we cannot allow our grandchildren to be deprived of the lives and opportunities we had growing up as children in America”
Such as the opportunity to bang and marry a multi-millionaire 30 years my senior…. THE AMERICAN DREAM PEOPLE.
I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger…
I have seen pictures of John Rollins. She earned every penny.
John Rollins at one point floated a plan to sponsor a black candidate for President to split the Democratic vote. It’s on the Watergate tapes.
