CNN Political Producer : Search for Christine O'Donnell turns up short

Political Producer Shannon Travis

Where is Christine O'Donnell?

Some local reporters that I've spoke to here in Delaware claim that the Republican Senate nominee has largely avoided the local media. O'Donnell has publicly stated she would avoid contact with the national press.

So we set out to find the candidate. Or, at least, information on her public campaign schedule.

(snip)
Two men emerged and asked for our credentials, but refused to identify themselves – at least initially. They later told us their names: Campaign Manager Matt Moran and Chris Merola.

They explained that O'Donnell is standing by her pledge to avoid the national press. But both men were emphatic that O'Donnell is not avoiding local media. They rattled off a list of local reporters and news outlets the candidate has spoken to since winning the Republican Senate primary three weeks ago.

2. CNN sounds like they've been "pulling a Rachel."
Rachel Maddow was in Delaware tonight. It was fabulous.

3. I agree with the the other poster
a senator does not really represent only the state they are elected from. They along with 99 other senators makes laws that effect the whole country and should be subject to scrutiny from any reporter from any local, state or national organization.
