dr. gilbert sloan who asked a rather impassioned question at this event. dr. sloan, thank you for your time. i appreciate it. >> it's a pleasure. >> you asked chris coons not just about the deficit but they keep talking about the deficit now. how come you guys aren't pressing them more on what they thought about the deficit between 2001 and 2009. why did you ask that question? >> because i want to see the dishonesty and the hypocrisy of the republicans generally and christine o'donnell in particular called out. they had every opportunity to say something about deficit spending between 2001 and 2009 when one of the major causes of deficit spending was the insanity in iraq. and so i put it to senator coons, future senator coons, to ask, to challenge o'donnell and the other republicans to document their vociferous opposition to spending then. >> the way that this race is getting talked about essentially is that christine o'donnell is running a national campaign. she is trying to talk to the country, talk about national issues, sort of not even really talking abou
