Tea Party's O'Donnell to Stop at Eagle Eye on Book Tour

Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party Senate candidate who shocked the country with an unlikely Delaware primary win in September, will make her way to the North Druid Hills area next month as part of a nationwide book tour.

O'Donnell, who ended up losing in the general election to Democrat Chris Coons, comes to on Aug. 22 in support of her forthcoming memoir, Troublemaker, which focuses on her Philadelphia upbringing, her career in politics and her views on the country's divided political environment.

From her website:

Troublemaker is about where O’Donnell comes from—the Philadelphia suburbs with five kids to a room—and what she weathered in the 2010 election. But the core of the book is a clear, straightforward discussion of an America that yearns to embrace freedom and opportunity through personal responsibility, and how it is hamstrung and stymied by excessive regulation, taxation, and the sanctimony of a “nanny state.” And Troublemaker will deliver an important, rousing message about what we do with the quiet anger in America today: where we can go, and how strong we can be, from here. Warning readers that challenging the status quo makes the political establishment push back, O'Donnell wants to build a movement that will continue to goad it.

O'Donnell's book comes out Aug. 16. You can check out an excerpt on publisher Macmillan's website here.

O'Donnell rocked the Republican establishment when she defeated former Rep. Mike Castle in the GOP primary race for the Senate seat vacated by Vice President Joe Biden largely with the support of fellow Tea Partiers. During that election, she became known as much for her media gaffes as she was for her disruptive politics.
