DOVER, Del. — The head of the national Republican Party is due in Delaware to rally voters shortly after GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's campaign apologized to a radio station for threatening to sue over video of an interview.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele scheduled a Dover stop Thursday with O'Donnell.

O'Donnell's campaign had threatened to sue WDEL-AM to stop release of the Wilmington station's video of a live radio interview Tuesday on "The Rick Jensen Show."

In part of the video, O'Donnell signals to a spokesman while she's being pressed about how she would have handled a county budget differently than her Democratic opponent Chris Coons.

The station says campaign manager Matt Moran called later and threatened to "crush" WDEL-AM with a lawsuit if it didn't destroy the video.

I just love election time. All the classless haters crawl out of the woodwork and spew their clever sputum in 15 seconds of garbage fame. Sheer genius. See you in two years!

Yes "WE" are so terrible, we use our minds and our words, along with humor, to try and get our points across. Meanwhile, "your" side tackles and stomps women, uses lies and misleading information, or information taken out of context, too "fool" the voters, and yet "we" are the BAD ones. And I cant wait to see you in two years, who you got? Paylin? hahaha. I hope your side does win the house, so they can remind the people just how bad they are, and how they have no ideas, except the ones they have tried to use for decades, The party of no, will again be the party to GO, away.

Can't wait till the election is over. Christine O"Donnell she will probably get elected as the voter will want her out of there state, and she will fill right at home with all the other fools we have in Washington.

I don't know why she would bother with this. If they destroyed all records of every interview that she's done where she looks like an !diot, there would be any record of her ever haven given an interview period.

Honey, you can not go through life too far by running for office or suing people. I think you should get an education from a real school or go to work for McDonalds. Actually I think you would be a bubbly addition to the front line of a McD's franchise. Forget the real school.

Its funny that you mention Mcdonalds as a possible candidate for employment for her, as I have heard through the grapevine that a Canton Ohio Mcdonalds franchise has offered her a job, just think in 4 years she can take orders at the drive thru ;>

Is this really the quality candidate Delaware Tea Partiers want? If so, they all really need at least one more semester of high school civics class.

PLEASE nobody say you will miss this person after the election because she was funny. We said that about GWB and look what we got in exchange: Palin, Paul, Miller, Angle, Beck, Palidino, Whitman, O'Donnell, and a bunch I forget. I'm not laughing. I will not miss her. And I do not miss GWB, either. More sanity, please!

Any sober judge would become drunk with laughter upon being presented with such a case!

so, two things: she doesn't believe in the freedom of the press. (or is ignorant of the law) and she plans on misappropriating even more campaign donations.
