And you know they didn't do that how?
Am I going to vote for someone who is basically saying: "the dog ate my homework"?
Pretty unfair to say this is comparable to a kid who says a dog-ate-my-homework. A comparison like that is more appropriate for the station that neglected to run the damn add, don't you think.
If they had, they would have a better answer than this:
"O'Donnell spokesman Doug Sachtleben said he was not sure why the ad did not air Sunday night. "I don't know if it was something on the cable channel's side," he said in an interview.
If he knew that all his campaign's ducks were definitely in a row and if his campaign had been proactive in communicating with the station, his answer wouldn't be: "Uh, I don't know. Maybe they forgot or something."
He would at least be able to say definitively that it was the station's fault and that he could ensure the campaign's supporters that he knows that it was "something on the cable channel's side."
