Christine O'Donnell says that she can't drop her Senate bid -- because of a higher power. O'Donnell: God won't let me quit

Christine O’Donnell says a higher power persuaded her not to drop her bid for Delaware’s GOP Senate nomination.

After a series of embarrassing interviews, O’Donnell imposed a national media blackout on her campaign. But prior to her decision to avoid reporters, O’Donnell sat down with the Christian Broadcasting Network, which posted footage of the interview Wednesday.


Reflecting on her tumultuous primary campaign, O’Donnell said that “God continued to strengthen and empower us, when you know his strength is perfected in our weakness, and that's exciting.

“Because you see that if it weren't for faith, when all logic said it's time to quit, we pursued, we marched on, because we knew God was not releasing us to quit,” she said.

O’Donnell, who if elected would fill out the term started by Vice President Joe Biden, said that she saw the wisdom of not quitting when she heard what Democrats may have in store for a post-election lame-duck session.

“With such an important lame-duck session, you realize why we were to endure all that stuff,” she said.
