Leading social conservative jabs Rove, GOP establishment: 'I want to increase their frustration' By: Byron York Chief Political Correspondent 09/17/10 2:04 PM EDT Greetings from the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit, where Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is scheduled to speak later today. I ran into FRC head Tony Perkins a few minutes ago and asked him how O'Donnell came to be on the program. "Karl Rove helped me do it," Perkins said. "Huh?" "Karl Rove helped me do it," Perkins repeated. "When I saw him attack her on the night of the election, I decided I wanted to have her come and speak." Perkins says he was particularly interested in O'Donnell because the FRC was the first big national organization to endorse her. "That primarily was driven by her opponent," Perkins says, referring to Republican Rep. Mike Castle. "The establishment put such a bad candidate on the field, and she rallied conservatives." "The reason those in the establishment are coming unhinged over her election is that their political models don't work in this cycle, when you factor in the tea parties," Perkins continues. "They can't figure that out, and it's causing them consternation." A brief pause. "And I want to increase their frustration." Read more at the Washington Examiner: washingtonexaminer.com

A Brief Political Observation September 16, 2010, 3:40 pm I know nothing about Christine O’Donnell and since I don’t vote in the state of Delaware, I probably won’t expend much effort trying to figure her out. She is accused of being a flake and of making some crazy statements. Again, I can’t say one way or the other. But I did have this thought: Since when did making crazy, nonsensical public statements in the heat of a political campaign become a disqualification for a Senate seat held by Joe Biden for three decades? coyoteblog.com Angus S-F: The Tea Party and the Value of Craziness – Reason Magazine “… to the tea partiers, that’s not a bug; it’s a feature. If a $1.4 trillion federal budget deficit represents sanity, they would prefer a candidate who escaped from the psych ward.” reason.com coyoteblog.com
