Christine O'Donnell has book deal

[December 03, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Christine O'Donnell has lost an election but gained a book deal.

The Delaware Republican and Tea Party favorite, defeated in last month's voting for the U.S. Senate, will offer her take on the campaign and her "frustrations" with the political process, St. Martin's Press announced Thursday.

Publication is scheduled for August 2011.

Backed by Sarah Palin, O'Donnell was a surprise winner in the GOP primary, but was widely ridiculed for her lack of experience and for past comments, including statements about her youthful interest in witchcraft and her opposition to masturbation.
