O'Donnell: No More National TV Interviews
Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post reports:
Delaware Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell (R) gave on Tuesday night one of her few national TV interviews since recording a stunning upset over Rep. Mike Castle (R) a week earlier. She used the opportunity to announce that it would be her last national TV interview.
National exposure is now "off the table, because that's not going to help me get votes," O'Donnell told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity. "I'm not going to do any more national media because this is my focus: Delaware is my focus, and the local media is my focus."
She added that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's advice, to focus on interviews with Delaware reporters and reaching Delaware voters, was "absolutely right."
O'Donnell made the national-media rounds the day after her win but has largely remained out of sight since then, emerging only for her first appearance on the national stage last Friday at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit of social conservatives.
Her last-minute cancellation of two Sunday show appearances two days ago garnered her widespread criticism.
