Your Joke for Today: Christine O'Donnell Considering 2014 Senate Run

Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell is apparently mulling a comeback, saying in an interview published Sunday that she is considering another run for Senate in 2014.

“I think I owe that to my supporters, to at least consider a run,” O’Donnell told the Delaware News Journal in an interview published Sunday. “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.”

O'Donnell ran for Senate in 2010, and her candidacy that year became emblematic of the Tea Party's effect on the Republican Party. She beat out longtime Rep. Mike Castle, a centrist Republican who was considered a shoo-in for the general election, in the Republican primary due to the support of conservatives and influential figures like Sarah Palin.

O'Donnell struggled as a general election candidate, though, following revelations about her personal life — including a discrimination lawsuit against a former employer. Her admission about having "dabbled" in witchcraft also resulted in one of the most memorable political ads in recent memory.

They are delusional and believe the things they say.
Sort of like the guy that passed the lie detector test saying he was Jesus.
