Desperate Romney Touts Support Of Kooky Christine O’Donnell

She may not be a witch, but Christine O’Donnell is backing Mitt Romney for President and Romney wants you to know. In a press release from the Romney campaign just out, the campaign is announcing that O’Donnell, who lost the Delaware senate seat in a landslide, is backing Romney.

O’Donnell’s 2010 senate campaign became the butt of jokes around the country as her campaign was frequently revealed to be a disorganized affair often used to pay her personal expenses.

In the release Romney, currently being leapfrogged by Newt Gingrich says, “Christine has been a leader in the conservative movement for many years” and goes on to say, “Christine recognizes that excessive government threatens us now and threatens future generations, and I am pleased to have her on my team.”

O’Donnell notes that, “I am endorsing Governor Romney because I trust him to do the right thing. He has the strength of conviction to do the right thing regardless of opposition.”

Touting the support of a fringe figure like O’Donnell seems to be an admission by the Romney campaign that they see a very real danger from the Gingrich campaign. If Romney were to make it to the national campaign, Democrats would likely relish the chance to use the O’Donnell endorsement against him.
