Brutal: O'Donnell Radio Interview
Don't miss this: Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party Express Republican running for Delaware Senate, gave an extraordinary interview with WGMD radio's Dan Gaffney Thursday morning.
Things. Got. Testy.
O'Donnell has quickly becoming a focus of the political world. Observers are watching her race against Rep. Mike Castle in the GOP primary to see if the Tea Party Express can pull off another huge upset, like it did with Joe Miller in AK SEN last week.
The 20+ minute interview is worth listening to. Gaffney takes O'Donnell to task for statements that she won two counties when she ran for Senate in '08 against Joe Biden. He also presses her over a recent scuffle between a member of her staff and a GOP video tracker.
At one point, Gaffney actually mutes O'Donnell's microphone to get a word in and says O'Donnell is trying to filibuster his questions.
Listen to the interview here.
O'Donnell also distances herself from a completely unsubstantiated rumor that cropped up yesterday that Castle is gay, calling it an "insult" to both Castle and his wife. In the process, though, she repeats the rumor several times.
Hotline On Call has reached out to the O'Donnell camp for an interview. We've yet to hear back. Stay tuned.
Christine O'Donnell is as disingenuous as a person can be. She brazenly misrepresents her record in this interview, leaving any listener with the impression that she couldn't possible serve competently in the US Senate.
Additionally, the certainty that she would lose in the general election makes Castle the only choice in the primary.
Come on now, the "rumor" has been around for years mainly because Castle doesnt have any kids and he waited until he was 50 something to get married. That and he talks and acts and votes gay. But that has nothing to do with him being able to be a good senator. What will make him a bad senator is he votes with the dems most of the time. NRA gives him a F, he is pro abortion and he has voted for cap and trade tax on everyone. He is a global warming nut. Castle is a liberal!
Why not talk about the issues? Christine's stance on the issues across the board are the best for our country and our future. Anytime the media or political opponents try and focus the discussion away from issues and on ad hominom attacks it shows how their positions are deficient, out of touch, and bad for the country. Castle has sided too often with the Democrats and help them propagate their failures. Castle debate Christine! Show use your position on the issues!
"Christine's stance on the issues across the board are the best for our country and our future."
Like her stance against masturbation? Yep, that one's a real winner!
I listened to the Gaffney interview live. Nobody is more conservative or even libertarian in their views than Dan! I think he would love to support someone with political views like O'Donnell's but realizes she is not fit for the job!
Thanks for this awesome, insightful interview. It made me think.
