I Stand With Demos Kratos

Upon reading Ms. Benedict’s blog, I can side with many of the view points made in her argument.  For example, I support the comment that Christine O’Donnell has grossly overestimated her ability to represent the constitution—which O’Donnell claims is the basis of her campaign.  Christine O’Donnell is not qualified to be a U.S. Senator.  Now that the election has passed, Ms. Benedict and I can take solace in the fact that O’Donnell’s loss to Democrat Chris Coons means that the people of Delaware agree with our assessment.  Ms. Benedict’s statement about the Tea Party movement splitting up the Republican Party is quite accurate. An article I read on the Huffington Post further illustrates how O’Donnell served to fracture the conservative base in Delaware.  In the article, a rising star of the GOP, New Jersey’s Governor Chris Christie, criticizes O’Donnell’s strength in representing the Republican Party over that of her primary challenger, Mike Castle.  In my view, the fracturing of the Republican Party resulted in a good thing, because it ultimately led to O’Donnell’s downfall.  I believe this downfall was necessary, because O’Donnell has a frightening lack of knowledge.  If the Republicans want to regain the momentum in Delaware, they need to select less outlandish and more qualified candidates in the future.   

In conclusion, the people of Delaware, as I am sure Ms. Benedict would agree, have restored my confidence in the judgment of the American people’s ability to elect strong leaders.  Now, we must hope that the rest of the nation can continue this trend and vote for qualified, informed candidates who can back-up what they claim to stand for.
