"It profits me but little that a vigilant authority always protects the tranquillity of my pleasures and constantly averts all dangers from my path, without my care or concern, if this same authority is the absolute master of my liberty and my life."

--Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Fifteen Minutes of Fame About Up

The one false step the Tea Party took this year was helping to nominate Christine O'Donnell for Senator from Delaware.  Sure, Mike Castle would have been squishy on some issues as a fairly "moderate" East Coast Republican, but he would have voted with us on most things.  Now, we're going to have Chris Coons, a certified socialist, as a U.S. Senator for the next six years.  It's unfortunate.  It could have been avoided.   The stakes are too high to have symbolic victories.

That all being said, Christine O'Donnell is a pleasant woman, right on the issues, and easy on the eyes.  She was treated with ridiculous, over-the-top harshness by the mainstream media.   If a woman -- any woman -- was treated that way by Republicans, it would be a national scandal.  Where are the feminists?  They're on the left, where they've always been. 

So, farewell, Christine!   We hardly knew ye!
