Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell responded to old clips that surfaced over the weekend where she said she had once "dabbled in witchcraft," clarifying at a GOP picnic in Delaware Sunday, "I was in high school, how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? But no, There's been no witchcraft since, if there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter."
The jab at the former President George W. Bush senior adviser came after Rove had cast doubt on her ability to carry the state for the GOP and said there are too many questions about her past.
The nominee showed up at the picnic in a key county that helped secure her GOP Tuesday primary upset, despite canceling previously scheduled appearances on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Her campaign backed out of the talk show interviews, saying she needed to get back to Delaware and had a scheduling conflict, including attending church and then the afternoon picnic.
She was greeted with a raucous applause at the annual Sussex County GOP picnic with chants of "yes we can" and "yes we will!"
Many in the crowd kept saying "get over it," to the media when she clarified her original witchcraft comments, which included her giving details about a date she had with a witch. The 1999 tape from "Politically Incorrect" first surfaced Friday when Bill Maher aired it on "Real Time with Bill Maher," saying he would keep airing clips until she appeared on his show.
Local Republicans seemed un-phased by the latest clip, which followed other television interviews that surfaced where O'Donnell talked about such issues as sex and condoms on MTV and to Phil Donahue.

Why isn’t there a discussion of Obama’s mother-in-law practicing voodoo in the White House?
Has anyone attempted to contact Rove through his web site????
/Bugs Bunny
Has anyone attempted to contact Rove, through his web site, asking him to respect Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment; “Thou shalt not speak ill of fellow Republicans”? Maybe he would explain or back off. Naive I know, but it could be tried.
Awwwww...
I don't quite see how this is any issue at all. Are lame jokes on lame cable network shows the issue? Will every politician from now on be asked if they were Harry Potter fans when they were teens?
Or is it what I suspect that it's not the teenage brush with witch craft but her evangelical Christianity that's got people nervous? Is Karl just trying to provoke her into making a statement about that by this repetitive needling? It would certainly help him take Sarah Palin down a notch if he could get a fellow Christian, that she incidentally endorsed, to say something embarrassingly Christian.
B. S.
Only a fool would think what the woman did in her teens would matter now. Unless we are holding her to a different standard than everyone else.
“Christine seems a lot more friendly than that Lisa “fishwife” Murcowsky up there in Alaska.”
That is one angry witch!
“I’d rather not imagine the things I’d have to answer for.”
You aren’t the only one!
So..We the People have to get the full proctoscopic if we’re gonna try to run for office...while the anointed elite..the members of the Ruling Class don’t even have to produce a birth certificate?!!!WTF?!!
this should get juicy..
“Has Rove spoken about ‘M’ of Alaska yet?”
Yes. He said she wouldn’t win. Then he told her voters to be sure and spell her name correctly on their write-in ballot, otherwise their vote wouldn’t count.
” They key will be if the media rtuns with the story and it “gets legs.”
Uh, not so, they are becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. The only power MSM has is what we give them.
I’ll take Christine O’Donnell who is reported to have explored the occult and witchcraft as a teenager and left it behind vs. many in DC who have sold their soul to the devil for power.
Sources at the Christine O’Donnell victory party revealed to The Freedomist that in December of last year Karl Rove met with Tea Party leaders in Dover, Delaware trying to get them to cut a “deal” in which they would leave Mike Castle alone and NOT support O’Donnell.
“Maybe she can turn Rove into Newt.”
Warning to Newt: ‘Eye of Newt’ is one of the main ingredients in spells.
(Valuable info I learned from reading Wendy the Witch comic books).
or neut(er) rove...
Probably rejected a pass from him at some function. Now he's "paying back."
