Christine O'Donnell to GOP: Hellllllllp!

Also, you want to fight?

(Newser) – Christine O'Donnell continued her strange tango with the Republican Party today, appearing on ABC to apparently kick the NRSC in the shins, while simultaneously asking it to open up its wallet. "We're hoping that the National Republican Senatorial Committee will help us. But it's two and a half weeks left, and they're not." Then, at another campaign event: "If you want a senator who has had to fight her own party and is still fighting her own party, please vote O'Donnell for US Senate."

It's unclear what O'Donnell wants, ABC notes: The NRSC has already maxed out on the $42,000 it can give her, and she's pulled down $3.7 million in the last month, giving her a significant edge over Chris Coons. Coons, who leads her significantly, told ABC separately today that a win for him in Delaware would all but guarantee the GOP won't take the Senate.

I guess the whopping salary ($5,900) she's worked herself up to isn't enough. I guess she's not praying hard enough, since God isn't "providing"

Well ... I stand corrected. Palin isn't the biggest moron on the Right.

She must be needing rent money, or has the IRS demanded that she pay her back tax, or has her school loans from 20 years comng due? Please help this dimwit, her bills are coming due and she doesn't have money to pay them.
