Christine O'Donnell, a conservative Catholic activist and outspoken opponent of abortion, pornography and premarital sex, has gained considerable name recognition as a commentator and guest on cable television news shows.
After finishing her undergraduate studies in English and communication, she worked in Washington, D.C., for several years, including a stint with the Republican National Committee. O'Donnell moved to Delaware in 2003 to take a job with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative think tank. She was fired less than a year later, prompting her to sue ISI for gender discrimination. O'Donnell dropped the lawsuit earlier this year, saying she could not afford to pursue it.
O'Donnell, who is single, now works as a political commentator and marketing consultant.
