John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary magazine, explains Christine O'Donnell's rise to fame and notoriety in an eye-opening, insightful article, "Christine O'Donnell, Made and Broken by TV."

Update: On the other hand, Karl Rove points out that O'Donnell is right on the issues, and has done well (so far) in putting personal issues behind her.
