Tea Party darling, and spectacularly disastrous 2010 candidate for Senate in Delaware, Christine O’Donnell is saying she has no desire to run for office again:
Christine O’Donnell, the 2010 tea party-backed U.S. Senate candidate, said Thursday she would “rather slam my hand in a car door” than run another campaign this year, calling a rematch with U.S. Sen. Chris Coons “highly unlikely.”
But O’Donnell says in an interview that the right wing-movement, despite defeats this week, has been an overwhelming success.
“Moderate Republicans and RINOs are extinct,” said O’Donnell, adding that the tea party has made reducing the federal deficit and debt a part of the national conversation. “Because of the tea party upswing, candidates are more thoughtful about what the Republican Party stands for. I think the movement has been very successful.”
Her own campaign? Not so much.
