Just an aside, but Ewetaw had an O'Connel-type congress woman way back in the day of 104th Congress. Her name is Enid Greene Waldholtz. Check her Wiki page and you'll notice she even looks like O'Connel. Like O'Connel she kept losing runs for political office until she married a morbidly obese guy named Waldholtz who became her campaign manager. She won and was cheered into the 104th Congress as a purity/morality candidate.
Then it was discovered that the large ball of adipose tissue she desperately settled upon as a husband, Herr Waldholtz, had embezzled 4 million (a paltry some, even in the 1990s) from Enid's father and Enid was convicted of campaign fraud for misspending 1.8 million of her own war chest and donations from sympathetic Republican "givers." By then, even among Republicans, she was callously known as Eating Green Walnuts. She squeaked out of her term as a congresswoman, pressured by Ewetaw Republicans not to seek a second term.
The Ballad of Ewetaw's Enid is not unique. My money is on some -- any -- embarrassing scandal to mar and tar the reputation of Ms. O'Connel IF she does win that Senate seat. Such things tend to befall the political careers of young, unmarried, women more interested in turning their personal morals into law than actually govern about real issues.
Still, I won't discount her winning that Senate seat. After all, one can be a one/half term governor, wear red leather tit-enhancing jackets and fool a lot of people into thinking weird and dangerous things.
