The tea party movement took a hit and made a big score, respectively, in the defeat of Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and Marco Rubio’s Senate victory in Florida over Gov. Charlie Crist.

Each election cycle brings fun new ways to mock politicians using the wonders of technology. Here’s something that candidates haven’t really had to contend with until now: Watch as Christine O’Donnell’s “I’m not a witch” spot gets the remix treatment, complete with auto-tune action.
