I'm glad I can't vote for Christine O'Donnell

If she had ever won an election or served in an office lower than U.S. Senator before, or managed a successful business, I'd probably support her, but she seems kind of flaky to me. Polls suggest that she can't beat the Democrat, so the main effect of her primary victory will probably be to let the Republican party know that it needs to run real alternatives to Democrats in liberal states. Of course, that will depend on how long-lived the tea party movement is. I hope it becomes a permanent gadfly to those who claim to be conservative, but don't act like it once in office.

On the other hand, the onslaught of liberal attacks on her, based on irrelevancies like her religious and moral views illustrates what kind of bottom-feeding trash are hustling for the status quo.

UPDATE: Former aides are telling stories about her from earlier campaigns, lending further support to the flake image.

UPDATE: Bill Maher has footage of O'Donnell on his HBO show, "Politically Incorrect," talking about her dalliance with witchcraft. So if you didn't mind her being an evangelical Christian nut, you may find that her having tried witchcraft influences your opinion of her as Senate material. Doesn't the Tea Party vet these people?
Karl Rove is looking better all the time, along with Charles Krauthammer, Duane "Generalissimo" Patterson and those former staff members.
