Christine O’Donnell Is Forming Her Very Own Political Action Committee

» 35 comments

Get ready, world: here comes Christine PAC. It’s a “new kind” of PAC that’s being formed by defeated GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, one that, according to the Delaware News Journal, “will allow her to endorse candidates, do independent expenditures in certain races, lobby on issues and do things ‘that other activist organizations have the handcuffs on because of the IRS.’”

After speaking at a Tea Party event in Virginia yesterday, O’Donnell told reporters that she hopes to launch the organization ASAP. She also said it will allow her to “become more vocal and run ads on issues including repealing health care reform and eliminating the ‘death tax’”:

“The focus of my PAC is not necessarily on getting behind individual candidates, but right now, moreso issues,” she said. “I want to take on projects to help raise awareness about these political issues.”

As David Weigel notes on his Slate blog, O’Donnell certainly has the funds to pull this off—her campaign’s sitting on $924,800 left over from the election. Still, Weigel thinks O’Donnell has shown “a bit less momentum from her election loss than some of us expected,” since she hasn’t yet signed a deal to appear on cable news. Maybe this PAC is what the bewitching Senate hopeful needs to get back in the news.

    Wow, this is really great news! Way to go Fox!!

  • The Real Royal King

    This is good news. Frankly, Les Dames Palin are getting stale.

    I’m not sure O’Donnell’s base is going to remain with her, however. In the end, they were her real opponents.

    I was being factious. Another entertainment story, not news.

    Wants to make money just like her mentor. Even-though she knows she has no chance of getting elected to do anything. Yet they will send money to her. I tell you, they deserve one another, she needs money, they have a lot to send. Useful idiots are unlimited on the planet.

    What are you smoking? Fox has nothing to do with this story.

    I have been checking all the cities in the USA that don’t have a village idiot. I have found out that there is a vacancy in Frankfort, Ill. I submitted your name to fill the spot.

    It is the KING . Frankly , the only drawback to Witchy Woman being in the news is that she has no offspring for me to heap scorn upon . The Palin urchins are a delight for me to deride . Since I have a deep loathing for females ( evidenced by my dogging every female commenting on this website ) , I enjoy making up names for the Palin girls , commenting on their looks and activities and doing it in the most kreepy way possible . If someone mentions the President’s children though , I will attack them viciously .

  • BatBoy

    The story set the libs in action this morning….the first six comments were written by the libs.

    They are going to wear their “little peckers” out with Sarah and now Christine!

    Ah before you libs get too upset with my choice of words, “Little Peckers” is another name for “Fingers” where I come from. It is kind of one of those “Ethnic Words” that we own and take offense to anyone who takes offense at us using it.

    I attacked? How so? I specifically said I welcome the reemergence and bemoaned t he fact that her rightist friends seem to have turned on her. English is your second language, isn’t it?

  • Vietnameravet

    But I thought God told her to run for the Senate..that’s what see said…. now that she was defeated all God fearing citizens must assume God wants her publicly defeated and thus humiliated..which means that any candidate she endorses will have the mark of the anti-Christ!! Glenn, Rush, Sean help God change His mind and realize what a brilliant decent woman she is and help me to stop messing with my “danger zone!”

    The King would think it’s horrible if anyone talked about Michelle Obama’s clothes or thigh size, the way he does with the Palin women. He’d start bawling like a baby and saying how mean and awful conservatives are.

  • Nachi

    Wingnut inferiors of the world, unite!! Oh, you already have.

  • writer

    It’s called the Democratic Party.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    I saw both Hillary and Michelle on the Campaign Trail in O8
    Could not get close too close, of course, but close enough
    to see Hillary Clinton has an ass about three axe handles wide
    and must use a wire brush and chipping hammer to get the damn
    makeup off each night.
    Michelle has a big ass also, but it goes in a differnt direction.
    And anyone who thinks she is a good looking woman needs to get their
    eyes examined, like today!
    Beyonce Knowles she ain’t.
    These lib asshole here never look in their own bedroom!
    Maybe this board is all the enjoyment they get if you know what I am saying!
    Maybe a visit daily to Madame Palm..Who knows??

    Again, Not4intelligence” perhaps the count has a good sense of humor :)

    If the count posted for “STUPID” comments, he would be posting every time you made a comment.

  • Socialist

    aren’t PACs common among conservative politicans that have lost their bid to hold public office??….

  • Elaine B

    When I was searching for real news today I found a statement that Christine O’Donnell made yesterday that “Fox” forgot to add to their news. I thought you might be interested in what a twit she really is.

    Tragedy comes in threes,” O’Donnell said. “Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards’s passing and Barack Obama’s announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits.”

    HUH?? This is not only stupid but sick!!!!!!!!!!!

    please. we don’t need her in illinois. this state is loonyliberal enough as it is. have some mercy on us!

    She found a way to get the suckers to pay her rent and other bills. Run a PAC and a professional campaign and eventually you can collect a salary for your expertise. It sounds like a win, win for the empty headed O’Donnell and a good way for the rich right wingers to WASTE their dollars.

    The count would be posting all day long on 90% on the stupid comments on the blog done by so many of you rwingers. LOL Get real!

    Like I said, may the count has a sense of humor….. nothing else seems to apply!

    Not only that but she has been living of the campaign money and then she says that extending the unemployment benefits is a tragedy.

    What would be a tragedy for her is she would not quality for unemployment!
