Christine O’Donnell Is Me!
Christine O’Donnell is you. And me. Also, she’s not a witch.
“I’m not a witch” are the first words Ms. O’Donnell utters in her debut general election ad, a 30-second spot released Monday that will start airing in Delaware Tuesday.
With her hair straightened and wearing a black blazer and pearls, Ms. O’Donnell smiles directly at the camera and continues: “I’m nothing you’ve heard. I’m you.”
BTW, her hair looks terrible. And this commercial is terrible. I guess this is what we’ve been scared of. O’Donnell unleashed!

This ad would actually be better with Rock Peters.
I like the Rock Peters ad better.
Is this from SNL?
I know… I kept waiting for wailing sax and “Live, from New York.. it’s Saturday Night!”
I’m moved.
She comes across like a timid high school junior. Can’t imagine the teabaggers getting behind anyone so wimpy.
I suspect she finished the taping, walked off camera and said to no one in particular, “I’m you, because in this ad, I’m sure as hell not me.”
Now that I think about it, I think Delaware is just too small for Christine O’Donnell. She needs to run for president!
oh c;mon! where are cyclone ranger and skippertree with the “pearl necklace knuckle children” jokes?
“trading favors and back room deals”
isn’t that what her Republican party mate – Joe Booth just did with Sussex Tech??
the money he lobbies for – the taxes he raised – then took the fat paycheck??
yup – more of the same
My friend from New Jersey asked me about this nut and I said I just found out she was from New Jersey. My friend said ” a Carpet Bagging Tea Bagger”. That was a gem.
Well… I can see what they were going for. “Hey look, I’m just a normal all-American girl. Don’t believe all the bad things the bad liberal media is saying about me. When they point and laugh at me for being a screwball they are really laughing their haughty college educated ass off at you.”
I’m not sure that is going to work on people who already decided that they are not anything like Christine O”Donnell.
I thought it was an acne commercial.
The GOP has a lot of problems and she is one of them. No, most of us are not charlatans and cheapskates.
I will not be participating in any GOP races, I will wait to see how bad the wreckage will be in November.
If she’s me, and I’m not qualified to be a senator, then what sense does this even make?
This is the velvet glove. Under that velvet glove is a spiked gauntlet holding a Glock with hollow points.
Come to the dark side we have kookies.
No need to spend that $2 million-plus on ads when you can get coverage like this for free. Hot off the Community News website:

More lies, and the lying liars who tell them:

This commercial is odd to say the least which fits her well. And Chris is anti-American? Grasping at straws I’d say!
Oh Jesus. Her nutbag supporters will quote those figures as if they are real.
Is “I am not a witch” the new Republican’t “I am not gay?”
By saying “I am not a witch”, she introduces the idea to a host of other people who may have not heard the witch statement, or reminds/reinforces people about it. Bad marketing.
Until I saw this ad, I thought she was going after very targeted voters. The born again and again and again and again vote. There must be disenfranchised “catholic dabbling in witchcraft then moved on to hare krishnas then became a evangelacal then back to catholic” vote. Now with super secret security clearance!!!!
I mean, who really among the tea baggers has not dined at the alter of satan at midnight? Do you have any IDEA how hard it is to get a table at Satan’s at that hour?
Perhaps she is appealing to the Carnivorous Hare Krishna vote?
Just sayin’
I was wondering who would admit to supporting O’Donnell and damned if Anon didn’t speak up. So much for being embarrassed.
Prog-Del I am laughing SO hard!
It’s surreal. I can’t imagine any stone cold sober advisor went with “Use the airbrush make-up and talk about the witch thing” as their plan. 😀
From Politico:
Republican Linda McMahon is putting devastating footage of Democrat Richard Blumenthal misleadingly referring to his service in Vietnam on the air in a new ad, just hours before the two Connecticut Senate candidates meet for their first debate.

I’ll be curious to see what the next Christine ad looks like. Does she run this and harp on her everywoman image, being built as we speak, or does she carpet bomb right before her debate with Coons?
She is such an attention whore. Who in their right mind would take the ONE thing that makes them look the WORST and put out an ad reminding them of it.. just when the whole witch thing was dying down as boring. The avoid and ignore strategy was working… and then she brought it back up into the spotlight.
Not only brought it back into the spotlight.. she set off fireworks bringing huge amounts of attention to the ONE thing that is going to end up defining her campaign. WTF.
She blew it. This ad was her time to shine and she blew it.
Also, it proved she doesn’t have a damn political bone in her body. Politicians don’t literally say “I’m just like you.” They allude to it to make the voter feel that way. They don’t say “I’m not a witch.” They never say that. Can you say “I am not a crook?”
Rookie. I said it to UI in Twitter earlier and I meant it. You can polish a turd a billion times but it’s still a turd.
was she giving us a Palinesque wink?
Use the slider to go through the video frame by frame… there are some really funny faces.
Bedevere: How do you know she is a witch?
Peasant: She looks like one.
[Crowd indistinctly shouts]
Bedevere: Bring her forward!
Girl: I’m not a witch.
Bedevere: But you are dressed as one…
Girl: They dressed me up like this. [Crowd murmurs]
Girl: And this isn’t my nose. This is a false one.
Bedevere: [inspects the nose and confirms] Well?
Peasant: Well, we did do the nose.
Bedevere: The nose?
Peasant: And the hat. She’s a witch!
Peasant Crowd: Burn her!
Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Peasant Crowd: No, no, no! [beat] Yes, yes. A bit. But she’s got a wart.
Bedevere: Why do you think that she is a witch?
Peasant: Well, she turned me into a newt.
[Bedevere gives him a disbelieving look]
Bedevere: A newt?
[Silence]
Peasant: Well, I got better.
Peasant Crowd: Burn her anyway!

Anon is a Delaware GOP hack and a failed one at that.
The black, straightened hair looks like a witch. Who made that decision?
I thought the same thing, Auntie Dem! Also, they dressed her in black and put her in front of cauldron-like background. I’ve never seen her look more like a witch.
“Double, double, toil and trouble…” I think that one was aimed at the under age 25 voters. I’m curious as to what channel(s) it was aired on.
I like the fact that Coons is running a traditional campaign and seems focused on the issues, but my concern is that he’s not going to be ready for the sneak attack O’Donnell is eventually going to level at him. Lets hope Coons has a couple of O’Donnell bunker-buster type ads already in the can just waiting to be unleashed.
“Double, double, toil and trouble…” I think that one was aimed at the under age 25 voters. I’m curious as to what channel(s) it was aired on.
The English Lit Channel. Sorry if you don’t get it.
It would be funny to change the name of every commenter on this thread to “Christine O’Donnell.”
At :02 there is an eye twitch at the exact moment she says “I’m not a witch.” I think it is a tell.
I get it, anon. And that’s not the only Shakespeare quote I know.
“Anon is a Delaware GOP hack and a failed one at that.”
You’re going to have to specify which anon you’re talking about.
Its no wonder I’m constantly playing pocket pool! All those years of sexual addiction therapy,wasted.
The vocal is straight out of Junior High, the look is bimbo prep and the message is non existent. Koch Brothers, demand your money back!
I can’t figure out why nobody did this last week:

That was eerie. If she’s me, then who am I? She seemed nervous. Maybe Linda Blair should have appeared with her. Why straighten her hair now? Oh yes, this is her season. The 70’s gave us Elvira, now the 21st century gives us COD.
You ain’t me,Christine, because in the immortal words of Kenneth Keith Kallenbach,”I ain’t no wacko!”
I’m here, a.price, but limited by our own witch of the web, Endora, the humorless bitch of Delaware Lib.
wall street journal writes “OCTOBER 5, 2010, 4:55 PM ET
Delaware’s Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons is trying to
turn GOP rival Christine O’Donnell’s new “witch ad” against her. In
the ad, O’Donnell assures voters that she’s not a witch and is just
like everyone else. “I’m you,” O’Donnell says in the ad.
Not so fast, Coons says in a blast email to Delaware voters. The
email features a photo of O’Donnell in her own ad, and suggests
that voters “Tell Christine O’Donnell: You Are Not Me.”
“Unless you think the retirement age for Social Security should be
raised, want to further de-regulate Wall Street, are against a
woman’s right to choose, think public schools should teach
Creationism, and think homosexuality is an ‘identity disorder,’ she is definitely not you,” Coons says.
The O’Donnell ad, set to hit Delaware airwaves Tuesday night, is
the first salvo in what both camps say will be a barrage of TV and radio ads in coming weeks. Since her upset win in the Delaware primary last month, O’Donnell has collected nearly $3 million in contributions from around the country, much of which she plans to spend on ads touting herself and criticizing Coons.”
Just saw the ad on CBS, at the end of Couric.
Great show tonight, Rachel…they all are, but this one was special. I am so glad to see that the people of Delaware are smarter than Christine O’Donnell. They brought up all of the points that I feel the Dems in Congress should have been bringing up for a year now.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how Christine O’Donnell feels qualified to be a Senator anymore than I could figure out how Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP or President. If they get elected, that will say something about our country…something really sad and scary about our country.
