I don’t think you have to know a politician personally to have a pretty good sense of who they are. I thought she was flaky from the first time I heard her, which was when Mark Levin had her on his show around the time she declared her candidacy. I knew something about her wasn’t quite right almost immediately, and nothing afterwards changed my mind about her. The GOP is a mixed bag like everything else.
O’Donnell is actually conservative and that is what we need. However, her past personal history was questionable and that is what did her in.
