Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell is generally pretty proud of the ultra-conservative company she keeps. O'Donnell made a big deal about her endorsement from Sarah Palin and was the very public star of the Values Voter Summit in September.

But when it comes to support from the public face of hatred aimed at the planned Islamic cultural center in lower Manhattan, the infamous firebrand Pamela Geller, it seems O'Donnell would rather keep her friends to herself.

Sometime in the last week, Geller's name was scrubbed from O'Donnell's public list of high-profile endorsers, published on O'Donnell's campaign website. Geller was one of the first to step up for O'Donnell, endorsing her bid for the Republican Senate nomination in Delaware way back in May. On her Atlas Shrugs website, Geller was effusive in her support for O'Donnell, who at that point was among the longest of the tea party long shots on the political scene.

"Her candidacy instills hopes in Americans in despair," Geller wrote.
