Christine O’Donnell, who lost her bid for the Senate from Delaware last year, has filed paperwork to form her own political action committee, ChristinePAC, so that she can remain involved in the political process.

Having become famous — or infamous — for her “I am not a witch,” ad, Ms. O’Donnell is hoping to turn her celebrity into a political asset much the way her political mentor Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, has.

Ms. Palin uses SarahPAC as her main political apparatus. A letter to the Federal Election Commission from Ms. O’Donnell’s treasurer suggests that she will do the same.

“This committee intends to make independent expenditures, and consistent with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decision in SpeechNow v. F.E.C., it therefore intends to raise funds in unlimited amounts,” wrote Paul Kilgore, the treasurer of ChristinePAC. “This committee will not use those funds to make contributions, whether direct, in-kind, or via coordinated communications, to federal candidates or committees.”

It is unclear what Ms. O’Donnell’s political goals are, or how she can help other Republicans. She has so far been unsuccessful in several attempts to win public office in Delaware.

But her candidacy drew widespread attention, in part because of her controversial statements as a guest on television talk shows before her candidacy and in part because of her connection to Ms. Palin.
