Additionally, in 2004 her campaign was outspent in both the primary (at a roughly four-to-one ratio) and the general election (at a roughly ten-to-one ratio). Schneider appeared on a
Colbert Report special report on
April 24,
2006.
In the 2006 primary she faced
Christine Jennings, a former bank president, whom Schneider beat in the 2004 primary, 47 percent to 38 percent in a four-way race. Two years later, however, the party establishment backed Jennings.
CQPolitics.com wrote that while Schneider had run game challenges to Harris as the Democratic nominee in 2002 and 2004 [her] strongest appeal was to more liberal elements of the 13th District constituency, and many Democratic officials thought Jennings’ business background would make her a more viable general election contender."
