Holy Cow!

Christine O'Donnell, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Delaware, is a real, bona fide, wing nut.  Then again, she was endorsed by Sarah Palin.

The Huffington Post has a list of some of "The Craziest Things Christine O'Donnell Has Ever Said".  Just do a GOOGLE search to find more of the wacky stuff that just pours out of O'Donnell's mouth. Here is what I found:
On evolution from NYMag
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL, Concerned Women for America: Well, as the senator from Tennessee mentioned, evolution is a theory and it's exactly that. There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put — that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory. But creation —

Whoops. Technically, evolution is a theory in the scientific-nomenclature sense, but it's so widely accepted by every legitimate scientist in the world that it is considered fact. Not enough evidence?.....


Is there something wrong with this woman?

The Democratic Underground has this:
...Reports have surfaced that she owed $10K in back taxes, defaulted on her mortgage and holds outstanding campaign debt....

I guess she'll be leading by example.

* And, one more time about the Strickland - Kasich debate from ProgressOhio:

...Then there is the bravado of the John Kasich whose budget pen stared down Bill Clinton and lost. He now brags about his accomplishments over the Clinton budgets he once shut down Washington over in a Gingrich induced game of "blink." 

But on the very day John Kasich bragged about his budget bravado, Bill Clinton outside the debate sucked the air out of that fairy tale, reminding Ohioans of who really won that blinking contest.... 

Thank you, President Clinton for that valuable piece of information about Kasich's 10% contribution to the budget fix.

ProgressOhio also noted that Kasich moved around a lot. I also saw Kasich movements, but I found them very distracting.  Is he nervous?  Is he hyperactive?  Does he have a medical condition that causes him to move about so much?  Did he have to use the restroom?  We'll probably never find out the truth.  I'll just add Kasich's constant motion to just another thing that annoys me about Kasich.
