It appears that Christine O’Donnell has no intention of allowing attacks from either the Right or Left go unanswered. She appeared this morning on ABC’s Good Morning America to answer potshots taken at her last night in the wake of her convincing victory over Mike Castle from Karl Rove, the NRSC, and others. O’Donnell looked poised and focused in this five minute clip, telling George Stephanopoulos that some in the GOP have had their pride bruised and need to get past it:
How big of a story is Christine O’Donnell this morning? I got this clip from an embedded story — at CBS. They especially liked this exchange:
“Everything he is saying is unfactual,” O’Donnell said. “And it’s a shame, because he’s the same so-called political guru that predicted I wasn’t going to win. And we won and we won big… He’s eating some humble pie and he’s just trying to restore his reputation,” she said.
O’Donnell also took a shot at Rove’s personal wealth when responding to his question about why she had taken “nearly two decades” to pay off her student bills.
“I’m not a trust fund baby,” she said. “Most Delawarians can relate to having to work hard to pay for their college education. I was never dishonest about that.”
She also took a shot at the GOP establishment as a whole, saying that their backing of Mike Castle made them look “lazy” and uncaring of Republican principles, especially in this cycle. That certainly was the impression of 54% of Delaware Republicans. Perhaps the GOP establishment needs to start listening a little closer, and embrace the candidate that their members chose in convincing fashion.
