Christine O'Donnell

Christine O'Donnell fascinates me as a snapshot of a particular American political moment. A Tea Party activist who pursued the Delaware Senate seat Joe Biden vacated in 2010, she rode a wave of grassroots energy into the national spotlight. She did not win, and her campaign drew its share of controversy, but I am wary of judging anyone solely by outcomes. Pivoting from public relations into the bruising arena of electoral politics takes real nerve. Whatever one makes of her positions, there is a story behind every candidate who dares to run, and that story deserves more than a punchline.
