Christine O’Donnell responded to the universally discussed story of her almost-one-night stand by blaming Chris Coons.
Wilmington, DE – Communications Director Doug Sachtleben stated in response to the universal condemnation of the Gawker story:
“This story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female candidates are forced to deal with. From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine’s political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks — all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race. Even the National Organization for Women gets it, but Christine’s opponent disturbingly does not. As Chris Coons said on September 16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine. Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. Such attacks are truly shameful, but they will not distract us from making our case to Delaware voters — and keeping the focus on Chris Coons’ record of higher taxes, increased spending, and as he has done again here, breaking his promises to the voters.”
Is Christine O’Donnell accusing Chris Coons of hiding in her bushes in 2007 to take pictures of her to sell 3 years later? In my opinion, O’Donnell steps all over her own message (the article is baseless and shameful) in her hurry to attack Chris Coons. I was sympathetic to yet another sexist attack on female candidate but O’Donnell can’t leave well enough alone, can she?
