Same here. If I ran for office though, some jerk would probably find a way to dig it up.

I'm the first to admit I am totally unfit for office. LOL. I had way too much fun, and still do.

Here’s my issue with O’Donnell. She said some NUTSO things on that show...and while I personally don’t care and would walk over hot coals to vote for her if I lived in DE, it’s stuff like this that gives ammo to the leftists claims that Tea Partiers are a bunch of 13th century Neanderthals.

Yea, it's annoying. IMO, there is one thing that it tells me about her personality; She's what I call an AW--an attention whore. (no sexism intended, I use the term with both genders.)

Why go on a stupid show like that? Why was she on MTV? Her views might change, but her appetite for attention and TV cameras remains the same.

That is, of course, a standard trait for those who seek office. They are mostly camera-muggers, and she is definitely such a creature herself.

Does that mean we should have had Castle, or that DE shouldn't elect her? No. It does demonstrate, however, that while we may find people who espouse the views we hold dear, it is infinitely harder to find someone who espouses those views and also demonstrates personal qualities that we might look up to, admire, and trust.

But hey, that's politics for ya. Someone like, say, Joe Miller in AK does not have these things going on with him, but O’Donnell does. Don’t get me wrong - I LIKE and have defended O’Donnell, but it’s hard to shake this. She gave great answers on Hannity the other night but can’t sit on her butt about this as it won’t go away.
