Christine O'Donnell was one of the most interesting characters I have ever seen in politics this year. She managed to defeat a rather popular representative, while Alvin Greene beat out a lesser known candidate who never stood a chance anyways. We still don't really know exactly how Greene won, but we do know that O'Donnell did indeed win her primary and it wasn't a fluke.
Seriously, when is the last time we had a woman who "dabbled in witchcraft," is against masturbation, and supports chastity run for the US senate with the possibility of actually winning?
O'Donnell never had a chance of winning. She received a much higher perentage of the vote than Greene, granted, but they were both novelty candidates.
The media created the perception that she had a much higher chance of winning than she actually did. She was on the cover of Time and Newsweek the week before the election, for god's sake!
