The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism: on Families & Children


Christine O`Donnell: Led campaign against out-of-wedlock sex

Her past was picked apart, and she was a constant font of controversial, silly statements--some recorded long in the past and others delivered off-the-cuff during the campaign (such as that the US Constitution does not enshrine the separation of church and state). From the day after the primary, O'Donnell trailed Democrat Coons in polls of prospective Delaware voters. Despite a relatively high turnout on November 2, O'Donnell lost to Coons, gaining only 40% of the vote to 57% for him.
