Christine O'Donnell was a Tea Party favorite during the 2010 mid term elections and while she was unsuccessful defeating -- -- for the senate seat she are still remains a strong political force envoys for the Republican Party she's here tonight to announce who she's supporting for the GOP nomination.

I don't -- -- -- -- first of all.

Before you tell us.

Apparently -- do you announce that you're announcing and you got a lot of negative feed.

What how people are you know -- the passing and that propels the Tea Party -- -- could be aren't doing you know if we get so hard headed that we are not willing to unite around.

Whoever is the nominee and I got -- -- you know consider we sent over a 100000 people.

A handful of people saying if it's not Ron Paul take -- off your list if it's not look.

I gotta say I'm I'm sickened tired and neither -- -- -- -- layers of Rick Perry -- a -- so why you know hitting Romney said at 101000 elements so what other it was an obvious hyperbole and everybody data.

You know we knew -- were just kind of implode -- radical I am tired of all of that radically that a good slate of candidates I am not I am not going to endorse.

I'm gonna let them the two people on there on the side of his side and have a vote anyway till much later in the process and I just wanna give them as much access to the candidates is I can't.

I think that's the -- as it.

Well let me first preface it with this it was not an easy decision because -- like to know.

Think that any of our slate of can't any of our candidates that would make the greats.

President and a great candidate going against Barack Obama.

But I think that there are certain tie breakers.

And I know that in making my decision I might be hurting some people.

But I think infrastructure.

And -- executive experience -- Fat -- and I'm endorsing Mitt Romney can call and I'm very happy it's not and anti Gingrich or anti and you -- but actually a -- though.

The governor's -- -- -- -- because that that this seems to be -- the narrative does emerge against Mitt.

That.

Needs more establishment -- Tea Party right.

And when you think that's unfair I think it's unfounded and unmarried ahead first of all take a look at who he got behind in early racist Newt Gingrich for example.

Was relentlessly.

For the liberal Republican in and one of the first tee card but PDs 1005 ED yes.

In New York 23 whereas -- said he regretted but the break but look it look at governor Romney who is not out their boasting about it.

One of the first ones in and Scott Brown got behind Nikki Haley Marco Rubio me.

So this does a lot the courage and conviction it takes.

To get behind anti establishment candidates speaks volumes and I think people are overlooking that people are having.

Especially Tea Party -- have the visceral response.

That is not merited now I'm not so arrogant as to think that my endorsements gonna make or break his candidacy you.

But what I do hope is that my -- says someone who has personally sacrifice financially sacrificed.

In order to go against the establishment.

Well make people take -- -- -- -- on the road with -- and campaign for a while I'd like to -- at the market as soon as I made up my mind I do wanna say.

They did not come to me I went to them and you know.

Because a lot of the anti Romney stuff got me thinking.

You know where's this coming from and the campaign was very open every comment every criticism.

They responded to me let -- setting the record straight and what I found.

Was that a lot of the accusations that he's not gonna fully repeal Obama care.

That's not what he is said and I've found that a lot of people.

Are making these judgments based on misinformation about his record so so I'd like to do whatever whatever I think -- ain't ever gonna running a ball.

Probably but you know first we've got -- you know try to unite behind -- resolving get rid of -- about -- but Obama does have a little.

General lifetimes and -- I think.

I think that would be -- president I think new would be the president I think Bachmann and Santorum will be the president's you know and we're gonna.

It's all gonna get started and the people watching this program will decide.

I think that's why we -- if we cannot have a repeat of 2008 because unlike in 2008 when bush was not the candidates.

We have an incumbent president.

-- is going to be campaigning from the Oval Office the more violence I didn't and then it's going to be a billion dollars smear campaign brain boosting it as in thank you so as.
