Am I oversimplifying this?

91. I remember Christine O'Donnell.

Actually, she had a history of dabbling in bizarre stuff when she was younger. I seem to recall that she pushed back by insisting that she never pledged a coven, or something like that.

I don't think we smeared her that bad. We mostly focused on her right-wing politics in that race, and how they were out of step for Delaware. The witchcraft stuff was mainly a source of amusement.

In any event, I don't remember Republican candidates across America being forced to answer for her or scrambling to distance themselves from her. They all had their own races with their own issues. Besides, the Republicans won big in the 2010 midterms, minus Christine O'Donnell, who lost. Clearly the rest of her party were not being held to account for the words or actions of some random Senate candidate in Delaware.
