Question: Why Did Christine O'Donnell Appear to Get So Much More Publicity in the Media than Alvin Greene?
#1
She didn't; it is just a popular misconception.
 
#2
Her ideas are more unconventional.
 
#3
She is prettier than he is.
 
#4
It is just another instance of institutional racism.
 
#5
Because the Tea Party and Sarah Palin endorsed her.  Poor Alvin was just on his own.
 
#6
Major party candidates with pending felony charges don't gather much media attention.
 
#7
It's the liberal media's tendency to pick on eccentrics on the right and ignore those on the left of the political spectrum.

The was a very big omgz teh Female tea party narrative this cycle, but yeah the bigger reason is the dynamic of the race. Greene got more attention than most losers in uncompetitive races did. Greene got 27% of the vote. How much did you hear about the comperable losers in OK or KS?

Christine O'Donnell was one of the most interesting characters I have ever seen in politics this year. She managed to defeat a rather popular representative, while Alvin Greene beat out a lesser known candidate who never stood a chance anyways. We still don't really know exactly how Greene won, but we do know that O'Donnell did indeed win her primary and it wasn't a fluke.

Seriously, when is the last time we had a woman who "dabbled in witchcraft," is against masturbation, and supports chastity run for the US senate with the possibility of actually winning?

O'Donnell never had a chance of winning.  She received a much higher perentage of the vote than Greene, granted, but they were both novelty candidates.
