TUCHMAN: We have documents right here that show Christine O'Donnell
spent a lot of money on what appears to be personal effects, and it was
not during a campaign, and it was campaign money. The spending of this
money occurred three months after she lost to Joe Biden in 2008, a year
before she announced she was going to run as a candidate in 2010.

Now, the FEC, the Federal Election Commission, allows you to spend
money after a campaign to retire debt, but not to add to the debt. And
she has lots of debt from 2008, which troubles a lot of people. They
think it's hypocritical, because -- because she wants America to spend
what it has. But let us show you some of these checks. You can decide
for yourself if she should have written these checks from her campaign
money. For example, a check for 475 bucks, she labeled it as mileage
reimbursement. Remember, this is three months after the campaign is
over. This means she drove hundreds of miles and she submitted this with
campaign funding.

Also, $157 on a phone bill from Verizon Wireless; by all
indications, this is her personal phone. Also, $28 at a gas station --
the gas station in the town where she's originally from -- Moorestown,
New Jersey. She still has family there. This is campaign money. There's
no campaign going on.

Six hundred dollars for her utility bill paid to Delmarva Power.
Also, there are little piddly expenses, but increasing her debt. And
these are very telltale. You wouldn't need to spend this for any
campaign, let alone a campaign that is not going on anymore.

$19 at a place called the Pike Lanes. The Pike Lanes is a bowling
alley. That would pay for about eight games of bowling.

Also $26 for a meal at Ruby Tuesday's restaurant -- campaign money
once again.

And then she even used campaign money for a $2.84 charge at
Staples. In addition, she paid rent money with her campaign funding.

Now, the home that she lives in right now, the townhome, doubles as
her campaign headquarters; she lives there some time. So do her campaign
workers. But this money for her rent was paid during a time when she was
no longer in a campaign.

Now, we can tell you that her detractors say she does this because
she hasn't had a real job for years. She has no source of income. She
needs to live on campaign money.

COOPER: And who, during all this time, was the treasurer of her
campaign?

TUCHMAN: This is really interesting.

Under FEC laws, you must have a treasurer when you're spending
campaign money. And according to the FEC document that we have
investigated, for 13 months between July 2009 and between August 2010
while she was spending money, there was no treasurer.

The treasurer was Christine O'Donnell. That appears to have
violated FEC laws, but the FEC has to determine that.

Yawn! That the best you got?

Actually, it's the best you have... a candidate who lied her way in life.

A bright new star on the Republican horizon. Well, slightly stained
and prunish due to complete sexual abstinence - which proves she's
extremely adept at self denial (which is mandatory if you're going to
be a mover and shaker in the Republican party).
