Chris Coons ducks Middletown, Delaware candidate forum with Christine O’Donnell

Chris Coons ducks Middletown, Delaware candidate forum with Christine O’Donnell, Will Harry Reid’s “Pet” Defend Obama’s Policies or Run From Them?

Wilmington, DE – On Monday in Middletown, Delaware Chris Coons, Democrat candidate running for Senate, decided to skip a candidate forum with Republican nominee Christine O’Donnell with Tea Party activists. Another opportunity to face the Tea Party supporters and other patriotic Americans is coming up, however. Christine O’Donnell criticized her opponent’s failure to show to the Monday forum and challenged him to join her at the 9/12 Patriots debate.

“Chris Coons blatantly disregarded Delawareans by not participating in what was supposed to be a candidate forum to inform concerned citizens on our respective ideas for our great state. Will Mr. Coons defend the Obama/Reid agenda, including Obamacare, government-bloating stimulus bills, and the bailout bonanza?” said Christine O’Donnell.

At a recent event Coons stated, “I’m someone who broadly supports the agenda of our President. We disagree on a few things like drilling, but in general, I think that we need more folks in the Senate who are willing to vote…willing to work in a responsible partnership with an administration, I think, made the right choice on healthcare, stimulus, and the jobs bill.”

“I look forward to debating Mr. Coons on the serious issues facing the voters of Delaware. We are reviewing the schedule and will commit to as many debates as we can schedule between now and the election,” stated Ms. O’Donnell.

“I challenge Mr. Coons to join me for a lively debate at the 9/12 Patriots Debate tentatively scheduled for Oct. 24th. I hope he does not duck it like he did the Tea Party forum on Monday. All Delaware audiences deserve to hear his views on the issues, not just the ones he hand-picks.”
