Tears openly and unashamedly flowed tonight at Christine O'Donnell's campaign victory watch. As the results were announced the anticipation mounted, some districts taking longer than others. Many O'Donnell supporters have shown the kind of dedication and loyalty one rarely sees when dealing with politicians, all building up for this final moment. Her win tonight shows the country that establishment candidates have no place in the First State.
Tea Party Express endorsed Christine long before many others, seeing something in her that would appeal to conservatives all over the country. Tea Party Express rolled into Delaware fresh from the Joe Miller campaign in Alaska, bringing with them an unprecedented enthusiasm which Delaware sorely needed and had not seen the likes of before. Rush Limbaugh, holding true to his record of not endorsing primary candidates, still dedicated large portions of his show to discussing the Delaware Senate primary race, pointing out Mike Castle's voting record. Sarah Palin, the NRA, and Jim DeMint endorsements soon followed.

Comment: Like Miller's victory in Alaska O'Donnell's victory represents another great day concering the ideal and norm of limited government.
However, I have to say that when I read that Palin, DeMint and the NRA came out in support of O'Donnell, I became uneasy. Make no mistake about it, the establishment party (Democrat-Republican) is doing everything to deflate, ruin and take over the Tea Party movement. It's all about the power and the establishment party will not go down meekly.
Likewise those of us that seek to restore the original "check and balance" in Congress through the repeal of the 17th must not relax. There are countless examples of "reformers" being elected through a mandate who quickly and quietly become entrenched within the establishment.
Limited government will only come when the structure limits the person; we cannot rely on the intention of a person to do the right thing; only through the structure will limited government be secured. The only way the structure will be returned is through the repeal of the 17th Amendment.

and to witness supposed conservatives climbing over each other to denounce attempts to defeat the RINO, it appears they are succeeding. Perhaps a few defeats will teach them to change their strategy.
Look, even if she is the barking moonbat the Roves of the world claim, she's better than the RINO.
Q: What do you get if your majority goes along with the enemy?
A: the blame.
To be frank I know little about her background, however, if she was in Ohio, I would most likely vote for her; I have no problem. If take a look at Ohio politics and you'll see how the ORP is working against conservative as well as rank and file Republicans. Portman is one of the true inside the beltway "insiders" and does not represent Ohio. The State of Ohio Blogger Alliance almost to a blog came out against Portman and the ORP and the shenanigans they have committed.
With that said we have to stop the big tent BS. We have to kick these traitors out. Palin is not a republican, but an opportunist; DeMint is a power broker, not a conservative; and the NRA could care less about the 2nd Amendment (I support Gun Owners of America). But you need to understand one thing about me, I left the Republican Party. I might vote for one or two of their candidates, but you won't find any dust on my feet.
And yes she is better than a RINO, but you have to agree me that we have to stop pinning our hopes on people and start revamping the structure to prevent the nefarious from harming (the majority of politicians) our liberty and freedom. Ay, what do you say?
