Newsweek: Six Things O'Donnell Could Do After the Election
:rofl:

While Christine O'Donnell appears to have avoided campaign-crashing gaffes in last night's Delaware Senate debate, her chances in the race appear to be fading. Although interest remains high, she trails Democrat Chris Coons by an increasing margin, and she claims the National Republican Senatorial Committee has quit helping her.

As has been well reported, she has had money problems, including debt and an IRS lien. So if she isn't able to come back, how might O'Donnell spend her time after Nov. 2? We've got some suggestions.

(1) Go Back to School: O'Donnell famously claimed she had gone to Oxford University, when in fact she had attended an outside institute's summer program there. Before that, she said she'd graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson long before she actually did. And she suggested that she was taking classes for a master's at Princeton, which she was not. So why not use the down time to actually pick up a few extra credentials. (Potential flaw: this could lead to more debt in the short term.)

(2) Open a Wicca Supply Store: By now, everyone agrees, she's not a witch (more contentious is whether she's you). But she's also well positioned to take advantage of the link between her name and witchcraft. It's not like Dan Aykroyd was a real bluesman before he opened the House of Blues in 1992. Why not open a store specializing in pentagrams and the like?

The other options include:
(3) Get Married
(4) Become a Scientist
(5) Return to Punditry
(6) Ask God

2. I think she'll return to punditry

I'd be surprised if Fox News didn't offer a gig. I personally think that she will likely follow in Palin's footsteps and become the next "political celebrity" out there criscrossing the country *inspiring* and firing up the "Mama Grizzlies" by denouncing the Obama/Pelosi/Reid "Axis" and all those godless, Socialist Democrats *ruining* the country and telling everybody how she was persecuted by the "liberal media" for being a conservative god-fearing anti-masturbation woman and the corporate media will eagerly cover her every utterance on Twitter and Facebook. Somebody save us from this insanity!!! Ahhhhh!!! :eyes: :banghead: :crazy: :silly:

I think she would be perfect there, and they could then actually have someone that believes their stuff help them with future fun stuff.
