The Next Palin? Or Worse?

In this era of reality TV potentials running for offices, we have yet another unlikely candidate in it for the win. Need I say Christine O'Donnell? Proclaimed by many as the 'Palin Mini Me', it appears that the situation is much worse than current popular consensus. The Atlantic reports:

Sarah Palin was wounded by Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson in their 2008 interviews because she seemed at some level aware of what she didn't know. She was obviously uncomfortable with Couric's "What newspapers, specifically, do you read?" question because she sensed that the topic held perils. 

O'Donnell on the other hand, comes across as a perfect, unflappable product of the talk-show culture. Sarah Palin knows that she is bad under open questioning -- so she avoids it, speaks only to selected audiences, is interviewed only by Fox. If she were to run for president this would make her brittle for the unavoidable main campaign. Christine O'Donnell shows that the other path can create a better, unshakably on-message product for this era.  

Not only is this woman Sarah Palin Jr. in many respects, she has perfected one of Palin's many flaws; O'Donnell is a natural on TV. So much so, she might have enough bearing to actually win. This frightful concept shows too many implications of where our media inflicted society is taking our politics. Could this win be the revenge of Sarah Palin's loss?
