Daily Beast talks to Christine O'Donnell's neighbours.

[Swede]

“She always seemed to be very, very determined and very driven,” said a fellow student from the Class of ‘87. “What seems surprising to me is not her fame but the sensationalistic aspect of it.” He recalled hanging out with O’Donnell during their 15th class reunion, watching as a former nerd, “one of those 5.0 grade point average types” got drunk and bent her ear for hours, while she listened patiently. She skipped the afterparty that night and headed straight home.

The magnitude of O’Donnell’s ambition irked some of her old neighbors. Kathleen Benedetto, who still lives next door to O’Donnell’s former home, said she never saw the candidate, an avowed Catholic, at St. Anthony’s—until she launched her first campaign, a failed challenge against Biden in 2008, for which neighbors believe she mortgaged her car and home. That year, O’Donnell and her family walked in the church’s Procession of Saints, wearing campaign T-shirts and handing them out along the way, “like it was a parade for them,” Benedetto said. “She always had this grand idea of moving to Washington. She never bothered to get to know anyone around here.”

She baked me cookies once,” said Paul Angelini, her old neighbor in the city’s Little Italy district. He remembered O’Donnell as sweet, but the cookies as inedible. “Chocolate chip. They were burnt. They were terrible, really.”
