In their own words - the candidates speak

(Sorry - yes one of the Protack cuts disappeared during editing - and cuts 3 & 4 ended up as the exact same thing)
Christine O’Donnell is running for Joe Biden’s seat on the US Senate. She appeared on the Bill Colley Show on July 24th and if you missed her comments - you’ll find them HERE
(Some of these cuts are long so depending on your connection it could take some time for them to download or play - please be patient)

I appreciate WGMD and Bill Colley for these candidate interviews, and also making the audio available here for those who missed the program, as I did while in Dover yesterday afternoon celebrating the signing of the Bluewater Wind contract with Delmarva Power, a very happy event it was for me.
Getting back to Jud, I support his candidacy because of his passion for the betterment of Sussex County and because of his well thought out platform to get improvements in land use and law enforcement accomplished.
Anyone who heard Jud’s comments here got a first hand accounting of where Jud is going with his candidacy. This is obviously not a partisan campaign, instead, it is aimed at all Sussex Countians who are concerned about our future and how to get us on the right track. I like what Jud has to say about the issues we need to address, and I like the knowledge he brings to the table to get these growth problems resolved. He has done his homework, now it is time for us to do ours in preparation for election day. Go Jud!!!

Rather than debates- I propose a drinking contest between John Akins Bill Leigh– maybe see who can drink the most and unsafely drive around Delaware and Maryland and use their political power to get out of DUI’s- the first one arrested looses and must fall out of the race!
