Poll Shows Christine O’Donnell Surge in Delaware

Friday October 29, 2010 Poll Shows Christine O’Donnell Surge in Delaware By Peter J. Smith WILMINGTON, Delaware, October 29, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new poll suggests that despite weeks of relentless hammering in the media, pro-life congressional candidate Christine O’Donnell has cut her opponent’s lead in half in two weeks. However, the poll was conducted before the internet gossip site Gawker published an unsubstantiated sex smear on the Republican woman, the effect of which for O’Donnell’s campaign remains to be seen. A Monmouth University Poll shows O’Donnell has narrowed the gap to within 10 points of pro-abortion rival Democrat Chris […]

The law would not itself legalize euthanasia, but would permit the individual states to do so. “It ought to get to a vote before Christmas, but that really depends on the good offices of the Government and the Opposition,” Brown said, according to the ABC News. “And if […]

By John Jalsevac November 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Republicans are one step closer to a possible takeover of the U.S. Senate with the election of Rand Paul in the state of Kentucky, part of what Paul tonight labeled a “Tea Party tidal wave.” The victory for Paul, who has declared himself to be unequivocally, 100% pro-life, also bodes well for pro-life activists, who are hoping that Tuesday’s election will put an end to any hopes of President Obama to further a radical pro-abortion agenda.

Republican Senate Hopes Dim as West Virginia Senate Seat Goes to Pro-Life Dem Manchin

By Peter J. Smith CHARLESTON, West Virginia, November 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-life Gov. Joe Manchin III has bested pro-life Republican challenger John Raese in the special election for U.S. Senate. Manchin (D) carried West Virginia with 53 percent of the vote, while Raese came short at 44 percent, with 90 percent of precincts reporting. Manchin’s win makes it unlikely the GOP will gain the 10 pickups they needed to seize control of the U.S. Senate chamber. Ordinarily the race would have been a slam-dunk for a Democrat, especially for Manchin, who has enjoyed enormous popularity in the state. But […]
