Questions Surround Del. Senate Hopeful O'Donnell

 In the latest and perhaps most surprising win for the anti-establishment Tea Party, Delaware's Christine O'Donnell beat long-term Rep. Mike Castle, a moderate, for the Republican Party’s Senate nomination. 
  
 The outcome rocked the GOP and led many to ask: Who is Christine O'Donnell? 
  
 By all accounts, she is sharp, charming and energetic. With her Sarah Palin looks -- and endorsement -- plus the backing of Tea Party groups, she motivated many Republicans to reject the establishment guy. 
  
 The questions come when you start delving into O'Donnell's background. 
  
 She is 41 and this is her third run for the Senate. Delaware's biggest daily newspaper, The News Journal of Wilmington, has been running stories on her problems for years. 
  
 Early in her career, she was fired from a respected Republican think tank, which she then sued for discrimination. 
  
 In 2008, her house fell into foreclosure and was scheduled for auction, until a friend and campaign worker bought it from her. She was then audited by the IRS. In an interview with NPR in August, she suggested that the audit was politically motivated. 
  
 "I ran against Joe Biden and I was audited," she said. "My mother's business was audited, and many other members of my family were audited." Asked why she thought she was audited, she said, "Who knows? It could be thug politics. It could be intimidation tactics. Either way, it didn't stop me." 
  
 At the end of the audit, she says, the IRS slapped a tax lien on the house, which had already been sold. 
  
 "See, that's the other thing ... what makes it really funny," she said. "Because it's an $11,000 tax lien on a home that I sold in 2008, so I didn’t even own the home when they put a tax lien on it." 
  
 O'Donnell calls the lien a computer error. She says it's been cleared up, but it's still on her credit report. She earns very little money now and pays half of her rent with campaign donations. She says that's justified because she's running her campaign out of her house. 
  
 And it recently came to light that her alma mater, Fairleigh Dickinson University, didn't issue her a degree in 1993 because she still owed it money. 
  
 All of this, O'Donnell says, is actually good for her: It shows that she's not a millionaire. 
  
 But O'Donnell has sent the GOP reeling like nothing in recent history. In an extraordinary bout of cyberwhiplash, e-mails from the National Republican Senatorial Committee went from asserting one day that O'Donnell was paranoid to fully endorsing her the next. 
  
 The party spent Wednesday trying to recover from Karl Rove's appearance on Fox News on election night. The Republican guru came right out and said what others had been whispering for weeks. 
  
 "And again, these serious questions about how does she make a living?" Rove said. "Why did she mislead voters about her college education? Why did it take her nearly two decades to pay her college bill so she could get her college degree?" 
  
 On Fox, Sean Hannity tried to defend O'Donnell. Rove went on: 
  
 "Did you ask her about the people who are following her home to her headquarters and how she's checked each night in the bushes? I mean there's just a lot of nutty things she's been saying that just simply don't add up." 
  
 So while Republicans are trying to look unified in their support of O'Donnell's general election bid, Rove's words are very likely ringing in their ears. "This is not a race we're going to be able to win," he said. ||||| Christine O'Donnell shocked the GOP establishment with Tuesday night's upset primary win over Rep. Mike Castle, whom early polls had pegged as the odds-on favorite to capture the Senate seat vacated by Vice President Joe Biden. And as the insurgent tea party nominee gains a greater national profile, she'll also be drawing greater scrutiny -- particularly for her offbeat political biography and her strongly held conservative cultural values. 
  
 While O'Donnell is an establishment outsider, she's no stranger to statewide political campaigning. This marks her third run for a U.S. Senate seat. She ran initially in 2006, seeking the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic incumbent Thomas R. Carper. She finished third in that GOP primary, but refused to give up her bid, mounting a failed write-in campaign against Carper in the November general election. In 2008, she got the GOP nod (having run unopposed), but lost badly in November to the longtime incumbent.

 Now O'Donnell's victory is one of the strongest signs of how drastically Republican politics are in upheaval this election cycle. And her 2010 general election campaign will serve as a litmus test for how far the tea party can carry an unconventional candidate toward a full rejection of politics-as-usual in the November balloting. 
  
 She's been a Delaware resident since 2003, moving to Wilmington to work for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative think tank and book publisher. That experience seems to have cemented O'Donnell's reputation as a firebrand in conservative circles: She ended up suing that (now-former) employer for $6.9 million, alleging gender discrimination. In 2008, she dropped the suit, citing the burden of legal fees. 
  
 More recently, O'Donnell has worked as a marketing and media consultant. She counts her work for Mel Gibson's controversial 2003 film "Passion of the Christ" as one of best-known campaigns. 
  
 Like Gibson, O'Donnell was raised as a Catholic -- though she's variously indicated that she now attends Catholic and Protestant services. Before attaining renown as an office-seeker, she'd been best known for aggressively promoting conservative sexual morality, particularly for young women. O'Donnell began her public quest to promote chastity shortly after completing her education at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. (O'Donnell attended FDU's cap-and-gown ceremony in 1993, but only received her diploma this month -- her staff told news outlets that she just recently met a final course requirement, though O'Donnell had previously stated her diploma was withheld due to outstanding tuition debt.) 
  
 As she explained to the Wilmington News Journal in 2004, she did "things she regrets" in college, such as drinking to excess and becoming somewhat sexually promiscuous. Those regrets spurred her to promote chaste values, and to seek out a national forum to advance related policy aims such as abstinence education. 
  
 After college, O'Donnell moved to Washington, D.C., first working for an anti-pornography group, then taking jobs with the Republican National Committee and with Concerned Women for America, an anti-feminist group. She also founded a nonprofit group called the Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth, to promote "righteous" values and sexual morality. It was in connection with her work for the group that O'Donnell was featured in a 1996 MTV documentary, "Sex in the '90s," to tout abstinence and speak out against masturbation. That clip of the young O'Donnell has already attracted a large viral audience online, after the liberal MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow aired it on her show Tuesday night. 
  
 Critics have seized on some past statements and actions O'Donnell has made to cast her as too conservative to win in November. Other O'Donnell detractors paint her as unstable, dishonest or radical. The Weekly Standard reported that O'Donnell misrepresented her education credentials in her gender discrimination suit. Reports indicate that O'Donnell did not win two of three counties in her 2008 race, and she backtracked her comments to that effect. Her recent accusation that her opponents are "hiding in the bushes" at her home raised eyebrows -- she says she's never reported those incidents. And in addition to her MTV clip, she's also now being dogged by footage of a 1998 appearance on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" in which she insisted that lying is always wrong, even for European families harboring Jews in their home during World War II as Nazis came to their door.

 The state Republican Party firmly backed Castle in the race, and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Jon Cornyn has raised his doubts that O'Donnell can win against Democratic nominee Chris Coons this fall -- even though his committee has since pledged to kick in financial support for her general election campaign. A longstanding battle between O'Donnell supporters and former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove has also highlighting emerging rifts between the Republican establishment figures and the tea party insurgency. 
  
 As O'Donnell noted in her victory speech Tuesday night, she's well aware of Washington's opinion of her campaign. But this time, she notes, she's already proved Washington wrong. 
  
 "Don't ever underestimate the power of we the people," O'Donnell said. "We the people will have our voice heard in Washington, D.C., once again."

 Stop it with all those "41-year-old virgin" jokes, OK? Delaware Senate candidate and anti-masturbation activist Christine O'Donnell has totally had sex. She admitted it in 2004, to the Wilmington News Journal, in a piece about her lawsuit against the Intercollegiate Studies Institute for gender discrimination: 
  
 And while people who recognize her from TV may think she's always been a Christian leader and activist, that wasn't so. Her family was Catholic, but her parents weren't strict. It was in college at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey that O'Donnell did things she regrets -- drinking too much and having sex with guys with whom there wasn't a strong emotional connection. But it was also during college that she found her faith again and chose to live a life of chastity. 
  
 And I guess it was those terrible experiences that led her to spend her life telling girls never to feel lust, which is a sensible and realistic thing to recommend. 
  
 Despite her post-collegiate ban on lustful thinking and gross touching, O'Donnell has gone on dates. Earlier today, we learned that O'Donnell isn't married yet because she is too much like Eowyn, shieldmaiden and White Lady of Rohan. 
  
 [via Wonkette] ||||| Wonkette commenter ph7 pointed out this Yahoo news thing that FLIES IN THE FACE OF EVERYTHING WE’VE BELIEVED IN: 
  
 As she explained to the Wilmington News Journal in 2004, she did “things she regrets” in college, such as drinking to excess and becoming somewhat sexually promiscuous. Those regrets spurred her to promote chaste values, and to seek out a national forum to advance related policy aims such as abstinence education. 
  
 Where is the Wilmington News Journal article proving this beyond a reasonable doubt, as the Founding Fathers intended? We have searched the evil “Delaware Online” to no avail. 
  
 Wait, So Christine O’Donnell Was “Sexually Promiscuous”? |||||

Christine O'Donnell is (or, at least, was) famously anti-masturbation, and she's never been married—so she must still be a virgin, right? Maybe not, at least according to a Yahoo! News report. It offers up a look at O'Donnell's past, including a $6.9 million gender discrimination lawsuit she filed and then dropped against a former employer, and the diploma she was supposed to have earned in 1993, but didn't receive (for either tuition-related or coursework-related reasons, it's unclear) until this month. But the most interesting news is yet to come. O'Donnell apparently told the Wilmington News Journal in 2004 that she did "things she regrets" in college, including drinking a lot and becoming sexually promiscuous. (Wonkette tried to find the original article and couldn't. Click here for the full quote, which declares O'Donnell actually did have sex.) In other news, NPR delves into her 2008 home foreclosure, IRS audit, and tax lien; Yahoo! News points to another controversial video clip from 1998 in which she says lying is wrong—even to protect someone (watch clip in the gallery); and AOL News notes that she appears to claim she studied at Oxford in her LinkedIn profile—but did she really?
