That Christine O’Donnell is taken seriously by “if the polls are to be believed” 36% of Delaware citizens, speaks poorly of those 36%. These are serious times. There is a structural defect in our from of capitalism that is biased to the corporation that is rendering the average middleclass worker nothing but commodities at best and indentured servants at worst.
Unless we elect intelligent politicians who are not phased by the rhetoric of the corporations control by the Oligarchs there is no hope. Unless we get intelligent politicians who understand that investments in citizen’s education is necessary to compete and innovate then there is no hope. Unless we get intelligent politicians that understand that business cannot flourish in a country of deteriorating infrastructure, then we are doomed.
This election is not about Republican or Democrats, it is about the country’s survival as a viable vibrant democracy where the middleclass can flourish.

In the Delaware Senate debate Wednesday night, Republican Christine O’Donnell tripped up and was unable to name a single recent Supreme Court decision she disagreed with, a moment similar to an infamous 2008 gaffe by Sarah Palin.
During the debate, O’Donnell said she opposed activist judges, citing the recent court decision ordering an immediate halt to military discharges because Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. But when the moderators asked her to name a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed, she was unable to name a single one:NANCY KARIBJANIAN: What opinions, of late, that have come from our high court, do you most object to?
O’DONNELL: Oh, gosh. Um, give me a specific one. I’m sorry.
KARIBJANIAN: Actually, I can’t, because I need you to tell me which ones you object to.
O’DONNELL: Um, I’m very sorry, right off the top of my head, I know that there are a lot, but I’ll put it up on my website, I promise you.
WOLF BLITZER: We know that you disagree with Roe v. Wade.
O’DONNELL: Yeah, but she said a recent one.
