O’Donnell Says GOP Establishment Not Helping Her



Oct 17, 2010 1 Comment ›› Pat Dollard

WASHINGTON (AP) – 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.

    This race would not even be close if the RNC and other organizations paid for ads like they are elsewhere. Coons is like Kucinich is here in Cleveland, a waste of oxygen, and Kucinich should be getting blown away also, but the national parties are NOT helping Peter Corrigan. If he had the backing he should, another part of this swing state would be going red in a BIG way. corrigan is still going to win, the media is trying to ignore that, but a blow out for Corrigan would help sway western areas (think California) as many people will vote for the winning side, whether a liberal or not. They want their vote to “count” so they will vote however the eastern states do…
