Christine O'Donnell considering another Senate bid

(CNN) – Christine O'Donnell, the tea party favorite whose unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in 2010 was punctuated by a television ad proclaiming "I am not a witch," says she's considering another run to represent Delaware in 2014.

"I think I owe that to my supporters, to at least consider a run," O'Donnell told Delaware Online. "People sacrificed. Not only came out of their comfort zone – sacrificed to work hard in order to win the primary. And I think that I owe it to them to give it every consideration."

GOPer: O'Donnell's actions were 'beyond indefensible'

(CNN) - President of the Media Research Center and conservative thought leader Brent Bozell blasted former Delaware U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in an exclusive column for CNN.com

O'Donnell walked off the set of CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" Wednesday while promoting her new book, a move deemed by Bozell as "downright bizarre."

Calling the tea party darling a "buffoon," the head of the media watchdog group said CNN host Piers Morgan's questions may have been "trite," but were not "inappropriate."
