And no, it wasn’t just a slap at the left-wing media, either. She canceled on FOX News Sunday — the home network of Sean Hannity, one of her most prominent supporters. So she just dumped everyone, including a network known for featuring commentary in support of her bid. Classy.

Christine O’Donnell, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate from Delaware, had been set to appear on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday” tomorrow, but has scrapped both appearances to attend campaign events, including a picnic, the AP reported.

O’Donnell’s planned appearance on the Sunday shows would have put her in the position of answering tough questions about her track record of attention-grabbing statements on pre-marital sex, Joe Biden allegedly tapping her phone and her own dabbling in witchcraft.

Which is likely why she canceled. She didn’t want to answer questions about her past, or wasn’t ready to do so, so she canceled and decided to attend campaign events where she would receive nothing but praise and cash.

Campaign spokeswoman Diane Banister told the AP Saturday that O’Donnell canceled so she could attend previously scheduled events — including a picnic hosted by Delaware’s Sussex County GOP. The picnic doesn’t get underway until 2 p.m. according to the GOP Sussex County Republican Committee’s website.

If it was previously scheduled, why did she ever agree to appear on the Sunday morning shows? It sounds like a typical campaign excuse for the candidate chickening out. “Oh, she had a scheduling conflict that we didn’t notice until things became uncomfortable for us.” Yeah, okay.
