    Oh god, please. Pretty please.

    Christine O'Donnel is thinking. I know, amazing at that. But not about witchcraft or curbing the masturbation epidemic. No gentle reader. She is thinking about running again.

    Every once in a while along comes a person whom is just born to be mocked. Last election we hacd several. O'Donnell and Angle to name a few. This time, not so much.

    So considering throwing her hat in the ring, or whatever the hell the expression is, the lady who had to make a commercial to let us all know she is not a witch may seek federal office. Again.

    Let the fun start.

    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.

    I can not criticize an idiot in my own party. I must point out idiots in another party.

    And yet seemingly in this thread you avoided the topic only to deflect it onto someone else.

    Honestly, I like a woman who was a witch in college and I think she would be a truly fun candidate to watch on Fox when I get bored.
