The consensus is clear. Chrissie O'Donnell"s victory was definitely unexpected and put the republican as well as the democratic party in a rather incorporable position. The democrats seem to feel like they have an advantage since the contender for the seat in congress will be O'Donnell ( since O'Donnell was a perennial candidate with no government experience and a history of personal financial problems); however, Democrats should be aware the consequences they may face with the republicans strategies to regroup and reunite with the tea party movement. Using these two sources linked above, it was interesting to see how two different media outlets covered the same story. CNN focused on the how her victory impacted the expected election turnouts and lack of collaboration between the Tea Party[ers] and the republican party. Fox new, on the other hand, discussed the strategies that would help strengthen the republican party and showed how the republicans responded to O'Donnell's win. Honestly, I was disappointed on the coverage on this story. I truly expected more detail on how they presumed O'Donnell's victory would have on the elections. I was expecting more details as to how this would effect the republican party and how they planned to deal with it. Also, since O'Donnell did face some rejection from the republican party, I wonder how she feel toward their proposals in campaigning. Especially since the Tea Party often times claim that they are not absolute republicans but more so a "group" to restore America back to its constitutional values. Anyways, Let me know what you think! Comments are welcomed! :)
