National Donors Keep Tea Party Losers Angle, O'Donnell On Political Stage

Tea Party darlings Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell may have lost their high-profile races on Tuesday but they're unlikely to exit the political stage just yet.

That's because their massive and lucrative national donor lists have left them with plenty of political options, Politico reported on Saturday.

Angle raised $8 million online for her failed bid in Nevada against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid while O'Donnell hauled in $5 million online for her losing campaign in Delaware against Chris Coons, Politico reported. 

Angle has also amassed a huge, national direct mail list that her former aides say includes 250,000 active donors and netted about $9 million for her campaign, Politico reported.

Fundraising consultant Kurt Luidhardt, who worked for both candidates, told Politico each has "high tens of thousands" of online donors.
