Sarah Palin is probably the person most directly responsible for helping Christine O’Donnell defeat Mike Castle. When Palin endorsed O’Donnell in the week leading up to the September 14th primary, and then cut an ad for her that aired up and down the state, Palin rallied the Radical Right to O’Donnell’s side. Before then, even the Radical Right thought O’Donnell was too batshit insane and unqualified. But then Palin swept down, issued orders, and those orders were followed.
But Mama Grizzly no longer cares for her little cub.
Delaware U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell (R), now running way behind in the polls in her race with Chris Coons (D), told ABC News she is still waiting on a promised campaign visit from Sarah Palin.
Said O’Donnell: “Well we’ve tried to schedule it. We’ve been talking to her going back and forth exchanging dates and I don’t know if we’ll be able to get it in within the next 2 weeks, we’re both trying very hard… I don’t know. Time is getting short.”
Awww, poor Christine. Sarah Palin no longer cares about you. Probably because Sarah Palin knows a loser when she sees one.
