I Am Not a Witch... Not that there's anything wrong with that

Christine O'Donnel's much maligned campaign ad, where she tries to rebut the jokes about her dabbling in witchcraft that stemmed from her declaration many years ago on Bill Maher's show. The failure of her ad in trying to move beyond the issue was brought up in her debate by Wolf Blitzer, and lampooned on Saturday Night Live

haha this ad is so funny, class was the first time i heard of this ad. even funnier is the snl skit making fun of it. either way, i do not think it was very informative and effective, if i lived in that state every time that ad came on id laugh.

Apparently, Ms. O'Donnell regrets this ad as well: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/21/odonnell-regrets-first-political-ad/?partner=rss&emc=rss. It was supposed to end the conversation, but, instead, ignited more discussion.
