Answer: $1,000,000+ in donations

Q: What is the difference between a candidate the National Republican shuns and the National Republican party embraces:

Before anyone becomes carried away by the beauty of it all, it should be said that the developments are not really a Kumbaya moment. GOP officials have been astounded by the amount of money — $1 million — that O’Donnell has raised in the hours since her surprise primary victory over Republican Rep. Mike Castle. As much as anything, it is O’Donnell’s fundraising bonanza that is warming hearts at the NRSC. “We have 45 days until the election,” the source said. “We need to be united.”

How many thousands of $10 & $20 & $100 dollar donations did that include. How many voters does that add up to that you don’t want to get angry and hope to hit up for contributions later.

When you have one million in the bank it isn’t hard to get a date is it?

Update: Make sure you aren’t drinking when you read this quote from Karl “I was with her all the time” Rove:

I Endorsed O’Donnell the Other Night… I Helped Her Raise That $750,000

I’m surprised Jim (Gateway Pundit) Hoff was able to type it out, he must have been cracking up at the sight of it.

Thanks to the efforts of a friend I was able to score a brief exclusive interview with Christine O’Donnell’s father

Mr. O’Donnell is very pleased with his daughter’s victory. When I asked him what he thought of the nasty things that have been said concerning her he replied:

“Christine took all of those things that people said about her with grace, and now people will be listening to what she has to say.”

Her father is a gentleman, and it was very kind of him to share a few minutes on the phone with a stranger in a fedora.

Listening to the way she has politely and graciously dealt with all those who have attacked her in the last 72 hours I can say that she without a question has the poise to win this election in the face of the media onslaught that will come. Her parents should be very proud.

They will be even prouder in November!

How does Stacy McCain get stories…

such as this:

Christine O’Donnell is standing 20 feet away from me in the lobby of the Fairfield Inn. She says, “I just got off the phone with Senator Cornyn. He said he’s going to give us full support and is going to do media interviews clearing the air.”

He does it because he IS THERE, covering one campaign, getting as close as he can to a campaign and treating people with respect.

There is no substitute for being willing to chase a story like a proper reporter. That is Stacy McCain all over.

Can someone tell me when Masturbation became the most critical issue before the senate? Is that what is going to drive turnout across the country?

When the leftist media/democrats decide to make the senate race about masturbation that tells me they have no prayer. This is the party that the establishment is afraid of?

The left is a lot of fun when they are scared.
