Christine O’Donnell On Dating: “Just Like When I Vote… It’s All About Character And Confidence”

» 10 comments

Christine O’Donnell was a guest on Jay Leno‘s Tonight Show and the host thanked her early right away for “being a good sport” and “all the material.”

O’Donnell described how Karl Rove avoided talking to her recently, the type of men she’d like to date and what’s coming up in the future.

O’Donnell joked that she was “one of the black sheep of the family because I’m conservative” but admitted she had voted Democrat before. “I vote for the person,” she said. “And the person I think cares the most.” (Remember this for later.)

O’Donnell also talked about the time last week she and Rove were set to appear in studio on the Today show. Unfortunately Rove “avoided the green room,” according to O’Donnell, so that inter-party first encounter will have to wait.

Leno also asked if she’d be willing to date a Democrat, which she said yes to (as long as he “doesn’t mind being wrong a lot”). “Just like when I vote, what I’m looking for in a man is character,” said O’Donnell. “It’s all about character and confidence.”

As for the future, she’s already throwing out terms like “book deal” and “reality show” – so get ready for much more Christine O’Donnell. Wait a second…”reality show”…she’s single…great on television…willing to date outside her party…The Bachelorette?!

Here’s the appearance on Leno, including why she regrets doing the “I’m not a witch” ad, from NBC:

    Christine O’Donnell will be bigger than Sarah Palin. Bill Maher nailed it down: O’Donnell is a nice person, unlike Palin who’s mean.

    O’Donnell reminds me of Mike Huckabee. He charms people left and right with his guitar playing and sharp sense of humor, getting many people to completely overlook or ignore the many totally crazy things he’s said and beliefs he has. O’Donnell is nice and amiable and seems to have a sense of humor, but folks, she’s pretty damn loony.

    she has an excellence presence and comfortability on TV – and an excellent speaker, as well. she would be smart to seek out a career in TV. it seems she was made for that arena. very relaxed, charming, funny and nary an *uh* or *um* in 10 minutes.

    Why are Huckabee’s beliefs any crazier than yours?

    Gay marriage is like incest, polygamy, and drug use? Amending the Constitution to align with “God’s standards”? One could go on and on. His beliefs are crazy.

    So I am wondering were the Wiccan’s are on this, particualaly from our Armed Service Members and Veterans. For the “rights” part, they used to think if they acknowledge Wicca as a valid religion in the military, then the Wiccan’s would want to put Goats heads on the front of tanks and splash them with blood. Mind you, I think it would be a great Psyops move, but that is beside the point. That was Ex. Representative Barr’s (R.) (GA) arguement against acknowledging their right to a priest and their religious symbology on their grave site.

    As an aside, many of you would be surprised at how much trouble Wiccans are have trouble in getting their First Amendment rights even recognized. Do a search, its sickening considering at the lengths we are going to acknowledge Sharia law in this country. I had a friend actually who had to appeal a lower courts order to overturn an order that forbade him from even talking to his children about his beliefs as a practicing Wiccan faith! So let me get this straight, a psycho judge in NJ let a man rape and beat his wife because it was legal under Sharia, but a man could not talk to his child his faith in a non-violent nature religion. At least the appeals courts have not lost their minds, yet.
    But I digress…

    So, does the left show any love here, not a chance. As usual, when given an opportunity to burn an opponent at the stake, metaphorically of course, the left side of the media piles the wood up, lashes the victim to the post, hands out the matches and cheers when the flesh sizzles. I am convinced that had she been a lesbian at one point in here life and then said that she had gone straight then lesbians would have been used as the fodder

    Now was Christine a great candidate, hell if I know. I mean Delaware just put a communist into the seat that used to belong to a gaff prone idiot that is now our Vice President. My point is this, do not think that your little enclave or label that you give yourself will save you from mockery or give you an advantage, think again. Just ask James Clyburn how he feels about being moved to the back of the bus after Princess Pelosi decided to stay in charge of the new minority. Love those open minded, racists free Democrats.

    She can’t work a “regular job?” What evidence do you have to make that claim?
