Updated: O’Donnell Initially Refused to Debate Unless She Gets All the Questions Before Hand

O’Donnell Refuses to Debate
September 16th, 2010

By Delaware Dem
The first candidate forum of the 2010 general election campaign is tonight at the Siegel Jewish Community Center, located at 101 Garden of Eden Rd., off Concord Pike in the Brandywine Hundred. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the debate starting at 7. The forum is sponsored by the Wilmington Chapter of Hadassah and the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

Expected to participate are all the candidates for the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House seats, as well as the state-wide races for Auditor and Treasurer. However, Christine O’Donnell’s spokesman Evan Quietsch went on the Rick Jensen Show yesterday afternoon on WDEL, and said that O’Donnell will not show up unless she was provided all the questions to be asked of the candidates before hand. Jensen, a right wing conservative radio host, was absolultey shocked and said that has never been done before at any debate that he attended or moderated.

~snip~

... if I remember correctly, most of the questions at past JCC debates have been asked by the audience, making it naturally impossible to give questions to O’Donnell beforehand. Further, if I also remember correctly, Christine O’Donnell attacked Joe Biden in 2008 at the very same JCC forum for not showing up to debate her. How ironic and hypocritical it will be for O’Donnell to back out in 2010.

1. Coons should debate an empty chair
with a cardboard cutout of O'Donnell

Same difference.

3. Oh, it's perfectly reasonable
She needed valid time to put together a cheat sheet and rehearse canned junk answers.

5. It seems to me that there is a wide spread pattern of Republican Scrotal Warmers refusing to debate.
If they are too cowardly to face their opponents in their own states, how can they face their opponents in Washington and represent all the Scrotal Warmers across the nation?

6. Ah, she graduated from the Palin school of politics.
It's the new thing. If somebody actually gets elected using this strategy, I'm going to run for public office in that state.

The yellow stripe runs wide.

10. Palin has been on the phone giving O'Donnell advice over the past few days....
Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 08:38 PM by Tx4obama
in a FoxNews interview yesterday Palin said she told O'Donnell not to listen to her handlers and to 'speak thru FoxNews'.

So now we have a 'mini-palin' up there in Delaware, I wonder how many more there'll be before the 'palin-effect' is over with.

11. Check the palms of her hands.
They're covered with written answers, if she can read them through the hair there.

16. I hope Coons people make this part of his campaign because it's GOLD!!
what more proof do the voters of DE need than to know the tea party candidate cannot think for herself or think on her feet. Do they really want to put someone like that in control of ANYTHING.. let alone their tax dollars???

18. At the JCC? First question I would ask would be if she really would turn over Jews to Hitler
Since she said she would not lie to him if he asked if she knew where Jews were hiding.

26. Jesus.
If Coons doesn't beat her he is the most inept candidate for anything ever, and I'm including Martha Coakley in that.
