She was booked on "Fox News Sunday" and "Face the Nation"; her campaign said she had church and a picnic.

The House Republican Conference chairman also won the vice presidential straw poll, which was given to that runner-up: Sarah Palin.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich credited Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Sarah Palin (R) with helping conservative candidates storm the election scene this year.

Meg Whitman has now spent $119 million of her personal fortune with a month and a half left to go until the election.

Bill Clinton will travel to California in mid-October to stump for Democratic governor and lieutenant governor nominees Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom.

The former president issued an endorsement for Brown on Tuesday.

"I am very pleased to have the endorsement of President Clinton, and I look forward to campaigning with him and with Gavin Newsom," Brown responded in a statement. "President Clinton accomplished a lot for California, and we have a ticket that will accomplish a lot for California's future."

That the two will campaign together marks a new chapter in their tumultuous political history. They ran against each other for the Democratic presidential nominee in 1992, and just this year, Clinton backed Newsom — who later withdrew from the race — over Brown for governor in the Democratic primary.

Tensions flared again last week after Brown publicly referenced the Monica Lewinsky scandal, saying that Clinton did not always tell the truth. He later apologized.

The events Oct. 15 and 17 will take place in both northern and southern California.

The former House speaker called Christine O'Donnell the "candidate of paychecks" running against the "candidate of food stamps."

Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R) at one point tried witchcraft, according to a statement she made in 1999.

"I dabbled into witchcraft — I never joined a coven," she said during a previously-unaired portion of the Bill Maher Show. "But I did, I did ... I dabbled into witchcraft."

"I hung around people who were doing these things," she continued. "I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic alter, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic alter."

O'Donnell pulled off a surprising upset over Rep. Mike Castle in the state's GOP Senate primary Tuesday, prompting many of her former critics — including Del. GOP chair Tom Ross — to encourage voters to unite behind her. 

She faces Democratic nominee Chris Coons, who currently leads by 11 points.

The senator went after Joe Miller, the Tea Party and Palin, labeling herself "one Republican woman who won't quit on Alaska."
