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.
An alternative explanation is O’Donnell has brilliantly engineered this, delaying getting the tape to the station so that it couldn’t run, then getting wide publicity over the fact that “they” are keeping her from getting her message out. She’s getting far more publicity (and outrage) out of this than she would if her spot had actually gone out on a cable station that even Delaware Freepers say they’ve never heard of.

Don’t worry, your campaign contributions will be well used by Miss O’Donnell during her next two quixotic senate campaigns. Not a penny will be wasted. She needs a larger apartment, oops, I meant to write campaign headquarters; there will be plenty of fund-raising trips to Florida and California that will have to be paid for; and her wardrobe must be brought up to date to keep current with the latest fashions circa 2014 and 2020. There may even be a few dollars left to purchase advertising time on the community access station that no one watches between 1 and 3 in the morning on the Sunday before election day. You will enjoy the spectacle immensely. Meanwhile, Delaware will stay as blue as the University of Delaware mascot.
