Yesterday Ed Morrissey at Hot Air reported that Delaware cable television station forgot to run the closing video candidate Christine O'Donnell had made for her campaign.
According to Mr. Morrissey:
"Just to be sure that it went off without a hitch, the campaign also reminded the station to run the program. Even after that, the cable channel "forgot" to run the show ... twice:"
The article at Hot Air details the chain of events:
She told supporters at a Tea Party Express rally on Sunday in Wilmington to watch that night at 11:30. "Tell everyone to tune in," she said at the rally.
"1 minute until the premiere of our 30 minute feature. Tune in to meet all the heart warming people I've met on the campaign trail. Ch. 28," O'Donnell tweeted Sunday night.
But the ad never aired.
A few minutes later, O'Donnell tweeted: "Okay... this is NOT our show! Must be a programming mix up. We will get back to you..."
The source, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive campaign operations, said the station "forgot to air it."
Then on Monday morning, O'Donnell's campaign issued a press release saying the ad would air on Channel 28 at 10 a.m. The candidate tweeted: "The Inspiring TV show about Delawareans will air at 10 am and 3 pm today on Channel 28. Please watch this before you vote."
And again, it did not air.
"This isn't our show either! We are told channel 28 'forgot' to air it...both times... even though we paid for the time slot last week," O'Donnell tweeted shortly after 10 a.m.
This may simply be an unfortunate incident, but considering the way Christine O'Donnell has been treated by the media, the Democrats, and the Republicans, it appears to be part of a continuing pattern of behavior. I don't understand why this woman is considered such a threat to someone or something, but the way she has been treated makes me think she might really be a breath of fresh air in Washington.
