Politics: Christine O’Donnell: Don’t let my “youthful fervor” dissuade you

  • She was REALLY into her beliefs in her 20s. Delaware’s Republican Senate candidate did some things she regrets, except instead of getting a tattoo and digging way deep into her rocker chick phase, she went ultra-conservative and said some really insane things about AIDS and stuff. So now she’s backing off. “I was in my 20s and very excited and passionate about my newfound faith,” she said. “But I can assure you, my faith has matured. And when I go to Washington D.C., it will be the Constitution on which I base all of my decisions, not my personal beliefs.” Will that be enough to convince people? source

Politics: Christine O’Donnell, circa 1997: Let’s stop paying for AIDS research!

  • All bets are off on whether these 1997 comments will have any effect on her election. (See: Rand Paul’s still being in the race despite his gaffes) In fact, if anything, she’s probably going to lose anyway, so this may not have an effect at all. In other news, Talking Points Memo is hardcore on the Christine O’Donnell beat. Jesus Christ, guys. source

  • Political handicapper Nate Silver • Regarding the state of Delaware’s Senate race now that Christine O’Donnell is the GOP nominee. The tea party darling came from behind to defeat former governor and nine-term congressman Mike Castle, who would have been a gimme in November, in yesterday’s primary.source
