In her continuing effort to distance herself from her own beliefs, Delaware's Christine O'Donnell is trying her best to convince the world that she's a genuine, regular person. If she can fake that, as an old saying goes, she's got it made.
In her first television ad as the state's Republican Senate nominee, the youthful 41-year-old famously announced, "I am not a witch." I'm glad so that she cleared that up. This may be the first time since the 1692 Salem witch trials that an American candidate has felt compelled to make that disclaimer.
Having set a low bar of achievement for herself, her more recent television ad slides even farther down the socioeconomic ladder of one-downsmanship. "I didn't go to Yale," she proudly declares, "… I am you." That probably doesn't help her with voters who went to Yale, but they're probably voting for her opponent anyway, who happens to be one of them.
