More Bogeymen...

After two days of listening to Rush Limbaugh hitch his wagon to Christine O’Donnell and listen to Sean Hannity becoming unbearable in his me-too-ism attacks on the “Republican” establishment I was hoping for a reprieve. I was wrong, so very wrong. Rush’s substitute (due to a cold) host Mark Davis took the microphone today and ran with it attacking columnists Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer who do not find O’Donnell to be an acceptable candidate.

From all I can tell, O’Donnell is the preferred candidate almost due solely to the resume of her opponent. Other than that, there is nothing. O’Donnell is a regular candidate, without no wins so far, and makes statements that are amiable to conservative interests but has no resume in politics. It is a great thing to get newcomers involved but in a position as important as senator it is imperative to have some experience, city council, state representative, mayor of a small town, something by which a person’s experience can be adequately judged with regard to their probable actions as a legislator. O’Donnell has none and won by virtue of running against a terrible candidate who was running for the general election and ignored the primary. He opponent could have learned a few things from John McCain.

Can O’Donnell win? Perhaps, her opponent is a self-described marxist and we will learn the preference of Delaware, which is their choice. I have read the pieces from Rove and Krauthammer and cannot find anything objectionable in their writing. It will be used by the opposition in painting O’Donnell in a negative light but so what? They are valid opinions and screaming against Republican bogeymen by Limbaugh, Hannity and Davis is of no benefit. It makes them appear to be unreasonable by not even entertaining opposing viewpoints and that’s a democrat game. Not one of these three has mentioned anything positive in regard to O’Donnell excepting her primary election victory. They should take caution in backing this candidate until they have something in their resume lest they set themselves up for disappointment.
