Christine O'Donnell

When CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked O'Donnell a question in a debate Wednesday night, O'Donnell failed to think of a specific answer but promised to have it up on her website. Ah, if only life were that simple.

Facing off with Democratic opponent Chris Coons, O'Donnell stayed true to her character and made for some great TV moments that will surely appear on "Saturday Night Live."

A pop quiz O'Donnell would most likely fail:

1. American Government: Supreme Court

Who is the chief justice of the Supreme Court?

How many justices sit on the court?

Are justices elected or appointed or do they evolve?

Debate moderator Nancy Karibjanian of Delaware First Media stumped O'Donnell with questions on the nation's highest court.

KARIBJANIAN:  Well, we've talked about the Supreme Court, and obviously a United States senator has the opportunity to determine in a way the make-up of that court.  So what opinions of late that have come from our high court do you most object to?

O'DONNELL:  Oh, gosh.  Give me a specific one, I'm sorry.

KARIBJANIAN:  Actually, I can't, because I need you to tell me which ones you object to.

O'DONNELL:  I'm very sorry.  Right off the top of my head, I know that there are a lot, but I'll put it up on my website, I promise you.

...

BLITZER:  But besides that decision, anything else you disagree with?

O'DONNELL:  Oh, there are several, when it comes to pornography, when it comes to court decisions, not just Supreme Court, but federal court decisions to give terrorists Miranda-ized rights.

I mean, there are a lot of things that I believe that -- this California decision to overturn "Don't Ask/Don't Tell," I believe that there are a lot of federal judges who are legislating from the bench.

BLITZER:  That wasn't the Supreme Court, it's a lower court.

O'DONNELL:  That was a federal judge -- that's what I said, in California.

2. Geography, American History: Iraq vs. Afghanistan

Where on a map are Iraq and Afghanistan?

How long has the War in Afghanistan lasted?

Is Gen. Stanley McChrystal still in Afghanistan and does he subscribe to Rolling Stone magazine?

O'Donnell's Iraq/Afghanistan slip up makes it easy to believe a test in geography and history would be out of the question for this Senate candidate.

O'DONNELL: When we withdraw from Iraq, we need to make sure that there are benchmarks in place. Those benchmarks are making sure that there's a government that – a representative government over there that serves the needs of the people and that can defend themselves. When we've reached these benchmarks, that's when we withdraw.

BLITZER: You want to respond to that?

COONS: She said withdraw from Iraq. I suspect you meant withdraw from Afghanistan.

O’DONNELL: No. From Afghanistan. Did I say Iraq? I'm sorry.

Thank you, Chris. You're correct. I meant Afghanistan.

COONS: If we’re talking about Afghanistan –

O’DONNELL: Yes. Thank you.

3. Science: Evolution

What happened in the Scopes trial?

How do you explain the science behind evolution?

Are monkeys and people siblings?

When Blitzer asked O'Donnell about a 1998 TV appearance where she said evolution is a myth, O'Donnell seemed to miss the question and gave Blitzer a prime opportunity to slam her with his "Voters want to know" comment.

BLITZER: Do you believe evolution is a myth?

O’DONNELL: I believe that the local -- I was talking about what a local school taught and that should be taught -- that should be decided on the local community. But please let me respond to what he just said.

BLITZER: We’ll let you respond but answer the question. Do you believe evolution is a myth?

O’DONNELL: Local schools should make that decision. I made that remark based on --

BLITZER: What do you believe?

O’DONNELL: What I believe is irrelevant.

BLITZER: Why is it irrelevant?

O’DONNELL: Because what I would support …

BLITZER: Voters want to know.

4. Public speaking: Zingers

When delivering a joke, is it best to interrupt your opponent?

When reading from a paper, should you trace your index finger along it?

When running for public office, should you tout your appearance on "Saturday Night Live"?

When Coons took on O'Donnell for her media antics, she made a middle school comment in return. She ended up looking...like a snotty kid.

COONS: There’s been lots of discussion in the national media about things my opponent has said or done that I frankly think are a distraction from the core issues that Delawareans ask about – ask both of us about.

O’DONNELL: You're just jealous that you weren't –

COONS: What would you do in Washington?

O’DONNELL: -- on "Saturday Night Live."

COONS: I’m – I’m dying to see who's going to play me, Christine.
