The accusations of sexism directed at women candidates this year is approaching its highest point - or low - depending on how you look. The latest victim is the tea party backed by the Senate hope Christine O'Donnell. On Thursday, the gossip website Gawker posted an anonymous message from a man claiming to have had a one night stand with a drunk O'Donnell on Halloween three years ago.
"Christine O'Donnell has a lot of problems platforms, and Gawker could have used his brand of humor to dismantle his campaign," said Yana Walton of the Media Women's Center. "Instead, he chose this story to create a misogynistic media landscape."
Despite the title of the post from Gawker ("I Had a One-Night Stand with Christine O'Donnell"), the night did not end in sex, but with both sides to sleep.
