All are very good questions and they are being answered here locally. The debates are very informative and telling. This is where the voters are getting the lions share of their information. What you are seeing/hearing is the national fallout from her gaffs.
Christine O'Donnell knocked the incumbent (Mike Castle) out in the primaries and it's a real shame. He was a Republican with a good head on his shoulders, he was a good fit for the area. He worked with both sides and wasn't an extremist in any sense of the word.

Issues are the most important consideration when it comes to hiring our legislators, but you cannot hire someone just because they stand on the right side of the issues. They need to be able to work within the system and when you are bat crap crazy, you will not be able to effectively do your job.
Everybody here knows she isn't serious. This is the third time she is running for Senate here. She is only "interviewing" to be a Fox news pundit/commentator. Just watch, after she is slaughtered in the election, you will see Fox news hire her, it's been her goal all along.
I didn't realize you were up there. Of course, you should be concerned. What I'm getting down here a thousand miles from there is a smoke screen of witch jokes and one-liners hiding the real issues we should be talking about.

It actually isn't. Of course common sense tells us that it's been established, but the actual phrase is not in the constitution. But I can see why Coons would laugh at O'Donnell. Either way, both sides were right.

It does not matter if the exact phrase is there or not. She was questioning the concept, not the words, regardless of what her handlers are spinning to gloss over her Constitutional education and understanding. The wording of the Constitution clearly says government won't do religious things, making it separate from religion. If she is the best the Tea Party can come up, does anyone in their right minds thinks their party will make governing somehow better? Qualities of leadership are wise and learned. Does she meet your ( addressed to all readers) standard?

well number 2 went down the flusher... look at all the private church funded schools in America...

The issue concerns government/public, not private education.
