Like Christine O'Donnell, I was born and raised in the great state of New Jersey. As I understand it, Ms. O'Donnell eventually moved on in her personal journey, first towards Satan and eventually to God and politics. I, meanwhile, have for the most part kept a relatively safe distance from all three of those forces in our world. Even though I seem to share little common ground with the Republican nominee to be our next Senator from Delaware, here's a crafty playlist for a Jersey girl with big dreams, at least some of them not involving "Witchcraft" or "That Old Black Magic."
