Read it and weep, Democrats:
Since upsetting party-backed Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) in Delaware’s GOP Senate primary Tuesday, Christine O’Donnell has raised nearly $2 million online.
A source with knowledge of the campaign’s online fundraising operation said that not only is the money is coming in as fast as it did for Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) ahead of his special election, but that O’Donnell’s raising money online at a pace that’s two to three times faster than Sharron Angle in Nevada after her win in the primary…
O’Donnell’s people are saying the number of donors is about 30,000 – so, about $67 per donor. This is the people showing the Ruling Class that they are not intimidated.
This is, as I’ve said, a revolution – throw out the rule books. Don’t think that Delaware if Ever Blue and O’Donnell can’t win. Sure, its an uphill battle for her – but in 2010, literally anything is possible, and the fact that it was she, and no one else, who propelled a gigantic increase in GOP primary turnout and has now raised millions from average Americans shows that O’Donnell’s election is a strong possibility.
All we can really do at this point is just see what happens. Work for our side, do our bit – and let things come out as they will. But I think that 2010 will become a watch word in politics…a century from now, people will be asking at times of political crisis, “is another 2010 coming?”.
