O’Donnell, campaign treasurer part; candidate names fifth of race
Associated Press / October 29, 2010

WILMINGTON, Del. — Republican Christine O’Donnell has parted ways with yet another campaign treasurer and appointed her campaign manager to the position, making him her fifth since launching her bid for Senate last year.

Campaign finance specialists say the turnover is highly unusual and could raise questions at the Federal Election Commission about her financial reporting.

Campaign treasurers, which are required by the FEC, are legally responsible for the accuracy of spending and contribution reports. O’Donnell began with relatively small donations but has seen contributions pour in from around the country since winning the GOP primary last month.

“It doesn’t prove anything, but it would certainly raise a red flag with the FEC,’’ said Brett Kappel, a Washington, D.C., campaign finance lawyer. “Treasurers frequently quit when they think they’re going to be held personally liable for something.’’

2. she will get rich working for fox
And the FEC will wait until after that happens to slap her wrist with a tiny fine for irregularities, like paying her housing out of campaign finances.

If a Dem did half the things she has, they would get arrested.

9. O'Donnell is not blonde. She would have to change her hair color to work for Faux.
She also better be ready to wear skirts all of the time so she can sit between the two men on the Faux setting and have the camera almost shoot up her skirt, like they do with Gretchen and other women who sit on the show. I think they do that just to get the horny old men excited first thing in the morning.

O'Donnell was never cut out to be a candidate in a competitive race, just a grifter who made her living losing elections and embezzling campaign funds.

14. And the guy who's taking over is a Moran, literally
He's the guy who threatened to crush WDEL with lawsuits if they aired the videotape of her interview.
