Gay affair rumor?
Links, please.
In all fairness, it appears that that question has already been answered. In post #114, osage orange said that I was incorrect in stating that as the basis of the wager. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no simple or clear statement of what exactly is the wager.
If either of you can frame it similar to (and both agree):
If ______ happens, wideawake wins
If ______ happens, osage orange wins
this wager thing might actually make sense.
I guess...I will have to say one last thing...
I will let fellow FReeper's go back and see what you ACTUALLY said...
Lastly....let them see your integrity.
FWIW....I'm done with you.
I responded to texmexis best saying that I would bet any amount of moeny that he was exactly right.
Osage Orange then responded by saying that he would take me up on the bet, but implied that I was disagreeing with texmexis best.
In order to clarify the terms so as not to take advantage of OO, I asked him to confirm that he was betting that the station did indeed just forget.
OO responded by saying that I, unbeknownst to myself, was really disagreeing with texmexis best and was willing to bet the opposite of my own position.
Since then I have asked him to clarify what side of the bet he was taking.
He has not.
I understand. It was the O’Donnell campaign that published a gay rumor about Castle.
Talk about sleazy!
I thought maybe the gay rumor was about Christine herself: 41, unmarried, sleeps with men but does not let them penetrate. Talks about masturbation with a great big grin on her face.
Not my kind of Republican.
Who knows?
It is the O'Donnell campaign's position that this rumor was spread by a former employee of theirs who resigned from the campaign a few days before he made the allegation, and that the allegation was entirely his idea and that they had nothing to do with it.
Concurring bump. I think the station was charging something like $2500 for 30 minutes air time, not exactly network pricing.
Gee, now there’s a shocker.
Seriously, Delaware 28 is a local public access station. They are not allowed to electioneer. The station he runs took money under false pretenses. Not only is that theft; but it is an in-kind political contribution to Coons.
File complaints with FEC and FCC. Then when the station loses its license, Coons will bail him out. Or not.
The ads were paid for a week ago.
Kristinn has thread running:

The ad is copied to a computer which actually controls the airing of the ad.
The format is standard and has been for at least a decade.
The production engineer actually does the work.
It is all automatic.
Very automatic, as is radio. No one made an error on either side.
We should demand that the production engineer responsible be fired. After he is fired for willful misconduct, we should then provide the production engineer with a top notch lawyer to sue the station for wrongful termination and go for really big money. Serious, station bankruptcy size money. I suspect there are some Texas lawyers whose names you might recognize who might have an interest in this case.
Did she put it on the Internet (YouTube)?
so the public access, is that akin to PBS???
Delaware 28 is an unaffiliated local TV station, they are not public accesss.
It’s all over the internet. Alot of websites have embedded links to it. She’s had it on her website all day. It’s not on youtube yet to my knowledge. Here’s a link, it’s called “We The People of the First State”...

SO MANY STORIES, SO LITTLE TIME........
“We didn’t receive the show until Saturday night,” Qualls said in a phone interview. “They showed up at my employee’s house…at 11 p.m.”
Qualls said he’d been promised the tape by 5:00 p.m. Friday, but didn’t receive it until 9:30 p.m. last night.
“They were supposed to have the tape to us on Friday and they didn’t get it here until Sunday,” executive producer Tim Qualls said in an interview.
No one forgot anything at Channel 28, station operator Tim Qualls told me today. He said the O’Donnell campaign worked out a deal to broadcast the 30-minute spot five times before election day (at a cost of $2,500) but didn’t get a Channel 28 staffer the tape of the video “until 11 PM on Saturday night.” That wasn’t enough time for Qualls and his small staff to encode the video properly for broadcast by 11:30 Sunday or, apparently, 10 AM today.
O’Donnell’s campaign released a statement Monday afternoon calling it a “misunderstanding.”
“Mr. Qualls is being incredibly cooperative now that he finally understands the situation,” the statement said. “We are sincerely sorry for any misunderstanding that has transpired.”

The proposed bet is:
If the station genuinely forgot to air the infomercial, osage orange wins.
If the station did not air the infomercial for any other reason (bias, not being paid, not having the film on time, ...) wide awake wins.
It’s such an obviously stupid bet that wideawake keeps reposting his (her?) side of it and asks osage orange to clearly specify what the bet is just to make sure they both understand.
So far, osage orange has simply repeated “I want to bet! You said I could bet! Chicken!!!”
The growth has been in Sussex. If you’re in Delaware, take a trip down from Northern Delaware to the beaches on Route 1. There is a huge amount of development on Route 1.
I think an assumption was made that when Christine is getting $2.5 Million the first week after the primary, things would be fixed by money. I coulda slept on the floor somewhere in DE for a month or 2. I’ve gotten TV commercials aired on Comcast, where I did absolutely everything from shooting the video, editing the video on the computer, negotiating with Comcast, picking the times I wanted the commercial to run, making Beta SP dubs and getting the tape to Comcast. But I did think that when the money was rolling in, people with even more competence and experience in making great political TV commericals with great equipment, cameras and computers, and connections with Comcast to get the best deals possible would be hired with the money I contributed. I’m not sure that this is entirely a huge deal, as the ad buy was $2500, not $250,000. Not too many people watch a tv show if it only costs $2500 to air.
