WASHINGTON -- Former GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell said she is forming an issues-oriented political action committee.
O'Donnell, who lost her Senate bid against Sen. Chris Coons, said she wants to launch the PAC as soon as possible to become more vocal and run ads on issues including repealing health care reform and eliminating the "death tax."
She described the PAC during a late-night interview Tuesday with reporters after she spoke at a tea party gathering in Northern Virginia.
Calling it "Christine PAC" for now, she described it as "the new kind" of PAC that will allow her to endorse candidates, do independent expenditures in certain races, lobby on issues and do things "that other activist organizations have the handcuffs on because of the IRS."
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched "Sarah PAC" after her failed vice presidential bid. While comparisons are often drawn between Palin and O'Donnell, O'Donnell said her PAC will be different.
"The focus of my PAC is not necessarily on getting behind individual candidates, but right now, moreso issues," she said. "I want to take on projects to help raise awareness about these political issues."
