I don’t have a “carefully thought out and strategic plan” for anything. Sounds like lot of work. ---

Has anyone seen her “I’m not a witch” ad? How fucking stupid. The news cycle on that one is over. _SNL_ has already done the skit. All you’re doing is bringing it back into the spotlight. ---

No one cared anyway, did they? Was anybody going to switch their vote because of it? Her real problem is with the revelation that she apparently fabricated her entire academic career. I don’t see why that’s not a bigger issue. Can you imagine what Fox News would do if it was discovered that Obama made up his college degrees? ---

I think the important thing to point out to Ms O’Donnell is that of course she’s not a witch? You know why? Because witches aren’t fucking real! Nobody thinks she’s got a big cauldron full of eye of newt and bat’s breath in her cellar, ferchrissakes. The fact that she thinks she needs to clear this up proves to me what a total door-knob she is in the first place. ---

Can you imagine what Fox News would do if it was discovered that Obama made up his college degrees? I don’t know. Maybe it helps her to have people talking about the witch thing instead of her actual political positions. 🙂 If Obama made up his academic career, I would hope all the news networks would be over it like flies on shit. ---

The fact that she thinks she needs to clear this up proves to me what a total door-knob she is in the first place. There are people who call themselves witches (Wicca followers?), and the important thing to the voters is that these people aren’t Christian, The One True Religion. ---

Christine O’Donnell is a cute piece of ass. If I was from Deleware, I’d vote for her because she is pretty and something nice to look at on TV. The other guy is named Coon and is bald. Hot chick or Mel Cooley? It’s not that it matters politically. ---

Hey, looks are why a lot of people voted for Obama, including a fair number here who admitted it right up front. And certainly he was no more qualified for the job he has now than she is for the job she’s after. 😛 ---
