The Christine O'Donnell campaign bought three thirty minute blocks of time on Delaware TV channel 28 to broadcast an infomercial on her candidacy the last two days before Tuesday's election.
Last night's scheduled 11:30 broadcast failed to happen. This morning, the scheduled 10:00 broadcast also failed to happen.
The O'Donnell campaign just Tweeted about the incidents:
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.

The infomercial, entitled We the People, was posted this morning to O'Donnell's campaign website and can be viewed here.
The next scheduled broadcast is for 3:00 p.m. today.
Ain't DE the enema orifice for the USA???
They ought to run it back-to-back in prime time tonight as a make-good.
Political ads are usually PRE-PAID. The TV station owes C.O. a check for what she paid.
I also think that it is time for stations that are “PBS” stations to be challenged in their FCC review and potential be replaced by independent station that do not carry the leftist-Propaganda Bull S#*~% programming.
If rational people can re-take government, it will be time to retake the airwaves or at least allow the liberal biased media know that there time is numbered.
This country has fallen a long way... we’re quickly approaching third-world status when media intentionally (forgot, my ass) blocks a candidate from broadcasting a campaign ad. This is the type of sh*t that happens in Venezuela.
“I’m sure the station will be willing to do a “make good” sometime next week.”
Right. Anyone have a phone number? It’s time to start demanding the programming be made up today - 3 1/2 hour slots TODAY.
Where is this information? I have search all over, it’s not on O’Donnell’s site, I can’t find it in any search of the news.

I sent it to Drudge.
Rove must be working at the station
Was the screen blank/black for THIRTY MINUTES both times?
Any local TV station technician would be fired for making such a HUGE ERROR!!
A simple refund isn’t good enough.
As one who has been working in television for over 20 years I can confidently say that this was not a mistake. A client buys time - whether its a 30 second commercial or 30 minute info-mercial. A contract is signed, and the fees paid. The sales person writes up the work order, the programming department schedules it, the traffic department places it and the operations department puts it on the air.
If someone “conveniently” forgot - they should be fired and the campaign should be “comped” at least one run of the show before tomorrow.
In Jesus name we declare that no arrow against her will prosper! PRAY! PRAY FOR JUSTICE!

I'm sure the Obama regime will be all over this with their usual enthusiasm for equal protection under the law. Just as a refund after the election is over is useless, an investigation by a corrupt organization will accomplish nothing. What we need is for this to go viral and fire up real Americans who still value fair play. I'll be in DE tomorrow getting the vote out for America, and I hope I'll have a lot of company there, in WVa, in CA, WA, CO, and everywhere else that we have a chance of taking back our country from this sort of person. This is about good and evil, and the Dems must be removed from power over our lives.
