Tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell is considering a run for Senate.

The Wilmington News Journal reportsO'Donnell is interested in challenging Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who defeated her in a 2010 special election for Senate.

O'Donnell tweeted about a potential Senate run Tuesday, hitting Delaware's Senate Minority Whip Greg Lavelle (R-Sharpley) for saying she needed to decide on a run right away.

“The decision to run is a big one, particularly for a United States Senate seat," Lavelle said, according to the Wilmington News Journal. "There’s a lot of variables involved. But to run a serious race, or give somebody else the ability to run a serious race, you don’t [decide] in May of 2014. You do that now."

"Lavelle's statement that candidates can't decide to run in 2014 until I make a decision suggests he's stuck in back-room deal mindset," O'Donnell tweeted in response. "Healthy grassroots allows anyone to run & good leadership makes sure the party isn't divided after a vigorous primary!"
