Surprise!!!!!!.....O'Donnell cancels "Face the Nation" appearance
Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has backed out of an appearance tomorrow on CBS's "Face the Nation" with no explanation to the network.

"They just emailed us and said she needed to cancel," said CBS spokeswoman Mary Hager.

O'Donnell's abrupt cancellation comes after scores of stories have emerged about extreme comments she has made in the past about issues ranging from condom usage to human brains being inserted into mice.

The Republican has appeared on TV since her victory in Tuesday's primary, but she now may be heeding the advice bestowed earlier this week by Sarah Palin: "Speak through Fox."

2. Why should she? She is getting more free publicity than she could have dreamed
I had to google Coons to find out what he even looked like

The MSM is promoting the hell out of her just like the rest of the teabaggers-which is a media creation

5. She's attending a satanic ritual this Sunday?
Don't worry, she's just dabbling. Everyone does it.

6. Who needs her grifting ass on national TV anyway?
It's not like the corporate/complicit media will discuss the skeletons in her closet - even in absentia.

7. She takes all her cues from Palin, doesn't she?
If things get too intense, cancel. Say you're just too tired.

Got news for you, hon, it ain't gonna let up.

8. Voters Need To Smarten Up - Why Would One Vote For Any Candidate.......
that won't face the press? How does one even get to draw an opinion on a candidate if they are not meeting and talking to the public and fielding questions about their beliefs? I just don't get it.

10. She's using the Palin playbook right to the letter - don't go
on any news forum except Faux. Run from reporters, don't take questions, deny anything and everything but it's always a one-way stream of communication. She'll never let herself get caught in legitimate 2-way exchange, just the same as Palin, Angle, Bachmann and a host of other Repukes.

15. Sadly, it doesn't matter. The media will ignore it and like Palin, if she debates the questions will
be too soft for Tball.

17. I didn't quite realize what a nutcase she is until I watched Bill Maher last night.
He showed a clip of her on his old show. She was sitting there basically touting her witch-craft street creds. I think she mentioned that she made out with some dude on a bloody sacrificial alter. I kind of like the imagery. ;-) I'm not so how many others in the GOP will though...
