how many of you didn t hang out with questionable folks in high school? but, no. there s been no witchcraft since. if there was, karl rove would be a supporter now. well, karl rove, who was on fox news sunday without o donnell said although she was smart to cancel at some point she s got to talk. in southern delaware where there are a lot of church-going people they ll probably want to know what it was about. my view is she can t ignore it. she has to explain it. but she can t simply say, these are unfactual and not true and ignore them. go to my website and ignore them. i don t think people of delaware have or are accepting that as a reasonable explanation. we re not, again, focusing on the witchcraft. we re focusing on her finances. rove there advocating she talked to people in delaware not inside the beltway. sarah palin, no surprise, agrees.
but on stage in front of conservative audiences she insists she s being smeared. will they attack us? yes. will they smear our backgrounds and distort our records? undoubtedly. well, that was o donnell on friday night at the value voter summary before the whole witchcraft story from 11 years blew up. a lot of money is now pouring in and new campaign commercials are being put out. as always, we re keeping them honest checking the commercials against the facts. tom foreman joins us in tonight s installment of political theater. tom? from the moment christine o donnell won, delaware has become the front line for the those that say the tea party train can be stopped and those that say it can t. so look at the latest attack ad from the democratic senatorial campaign committee. o donnell spends money she doesn t have. hired employees she didn t pay. stiffed businesses. didn t pay her taxes.

running away from questions. gary tuckman has been digging to see if he could get some questions answers by the candidate a few moments ago. tonight he joins us from middletown delaware. gary, did she talk? reporter: anderson, she talked a little bit. i ll tell you about that in a second. to set up the scene, the candidate s forum in the building here. she was one of the candidates here and after it ended we wanted to ask her a specific question. not about witchcraft or anything like that, but about these financial allegations. it s important to ask her that because today a washington watchdog group that investigates politicians, investigating charlie rangel said christine o donnell is clearly a criminal and she should be prosecuted because of her spending so i asked her, can i ask you one question, and she said, if you are polite and shake hands, i will answer but then she wouldn t take my question. she just made a general statement. we ve been ethical. we have not i have person
