Here's the response I got from my email: From: Daps ... "First of all, you have no idea what the situation is or what has happened and you do not know me from Adam. I do not appreciate such a judgment of myself or my business based on ignorance of what is the reality. We only provide Comcast with the programs to be aired. It is out of our hands at that point. Now, that being said, the edited program did not enter my possesion until 9:30pm Sunday night. It was originally agreed to be to me on Friday at 5:30pm. Even if it was delayed until Saturday afternoon, no problems would have arisen, however, at Sunday night, we are relying on the underpaid employees at Comcast to do things that they are in any way required to do. These are things that the O'Donnell camp were not aware of when arranging the air time. But again, the program was supposed to be ready much much earlier. I worked the entire weekend with the O'Donnell camp and I personally did not offer my services to not see the project fail. So, in closing, I have no problems looking at myself in the morning because I do my job and I do it well. And as far as political alliances go, that is really none of your business, but since I have started, you can rest assured that I am a registered non-partisan citizen, and personally have no plans on voting, nor do I have any inclination to damage either parties campaigns."

Daps = David 'Daps' Reinert - Production Manager of Delaware channel 28. Good job you did getting a reply from him.

It's interesting that he seems to lay fault at the O'Donnell campaign's door for not getting the ads to him until 9:30 PM Sunday night when they had agreed to get them to him at 5:30PM on Friday night. I wonder if that's true? It sure would seem as though Christine herself would have been aware of that, and might have mentioned it in her tweets if it was true.

Then again, it sort of fits with the Washington Post quotes from Christine's campaign spokesman, Doug Sachtleben saying that the campaign is only today negotiating with a local Fox affiliate to air an ad. And his quote that tomorrow the campaign is going station-to-station with a DVD and begging for anyone to air it. Makes me wonder what's going on with all this 11th hour strategy. Couldn't Christine's campaign have procured their media buys, station placement and timeslots before last night, or today, or tomorrow for goodness sake?

I hope this is all just misquotes from Washington Post and that O'Donnell's campaign staff isn't that disorganized. Because, if it is, were I her I'd start looking for an enemy within my own camp.

I question these things as someone who has donated not insignificantly to Christine O'Donnell's campaign. I find these reports more than a little disconcerting.
