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."

In 2010, O'Donnell won Delaware's GOP primary contest against nine-term Rep. Mike Castle, who enjoyed backing from the national Republican establishment. She went on to lose by a large margin to the Democratic candidate, now-Sen. Chris Coons.
During the campaign, an interview emerged in which O'Donnell told talk show host Bill Maher that she had "dabbled in witchcraft" during college. Her campaign later produced a television ad in which she proclaimed, "I'm not a witch. I'm nothing you've heard. I'm you."
More recently, O'Donnell backed Mitt Romney early in the GOP presidential primary season, writing in December that she hoped her endorsement would "cause others to give him a second look."
Romney welcomed the endorsement, writing that O'Donnell "recognizes that excessive government threatens us now and threatens future generations."
If O'Donnell does jump into the 2014 Senate race and wins the GOP nomination, she will again face Coons, who will be up for re-election in two years after finishing out the length of Joe Biden's term. Biden was re-elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008, but gave up his seat to serve as vice president beginning in 2009.

Please make it so. Pretty please. With sprinkles.
She is about as nutty as they get. She makes crazy Sarah look like the picture of sanity.
All the late night comedians are giddy with joy at the thought of this possibility.
..............O'Donnell...??????? ..What ....AGAIN?................Come ON gop,........get YOUR ACT TOGETHER..........IMPROVE YOUR MESSAGE, and the candidates that deliver it,....................................and you will ALWAYS WIN............................................................
That's a very nice reason to run. But, however, aside from her coven, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin, who else supports her?
This has got to be a joke, right? It's too late in the season for this to be happening. The sap usually starts running in the spring.
The broom is fueled up and she's ready to fly. Let er rip ditzy, with Backmann climbing back into her hole and the witch from Wasilla all but gone, it's time for another strong GOP women to take center stage.
"I think I owe that to my supporters, to at least consider a run,"
If by supporters she means late night comedians, then she's spot on.
I hope she does run again. That would secure another Democratic win!
Some people just do not know when to get off the stage..
Life really is funny
A fool think himself to be wise, but a wise man ( or woman ) knows himself to be a fool!!!
if republicans keep running these nut jobs they will loose both the congress and senate. So please run and see if we can get palin and bachman to run also oh and and maybe little ricky perry to. Forward. 2012
If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again.
Perhaps this time she can run an ad stating that "Although I am a strong supporter of the blood-sucking, soulless coven known as the tea party ... I am not a vampiress."
One can assume from this that she has run out of campaign funds and needs to announce another campaign in order to raise funds. Didn't her former campaign manager says she would use campaign funds for personal use?
Christine O'Donnell is not a native Delawarean nor a product of any elementary, secondary, or post-secondary school therein. She is from New Jersey and has been running for national office since the moment her feet first touched Delaware soil in 2003. By a quirk of fate occasioned by Joe Biden's VP candidacy, she has run for the U.S. Senate in 2006, 2008, and 2010 and was the Official GOP candidate in the latter two races. Her incessant need for attention fuels her ridiculous campaigns for public office despite the fact that she has been exposed as a mindless twit.
Christine, please go back to New Jersey and through away your EZ-Pass.
I heard she already has the endorsement of the Local 23 affiliate of the powerful Delaware Witches Union.
It's not that I don't like or trust Christine O'Donnell. Wait, no, I don't like or trust her. Sorry for the confusion. I think she cast a spell on me.
Will someone tell me what concrete contributions this women has made to her country?
Oh Please! We don't need you in Washington any more than we needed Bachmann or than we need Romney and Ryan... but bless your heart run...we know your opponent will win.
Sure, why not? If Robme/Munster get elected, what difference will it make to have one more nut running tnis country? We will be doomed anyway.
If she runs again, then the Democrats will NOT have to worry about "defending" that DE seat!
This is the funnest story i have read in the news in a long time! And the GOP wants to cut even more money from mental health!!!!!!!!
Christine please go move in with Paljn 2 looneys
Christine,take the next broomstick out of this country! We no longer need you!
She helped the unhinged GOBP tea potty lose the Senate in 2010,why not?
