This is the best political ad I have ever seen! I mean, this is a total game-changer and is unprecedented as I have never seen a Republican do this before. It succinctly lays out the issues and why only conservative remedies are the best option. Especially the part about education.
Loose lips sink ships. The media and those parroting media lies against Christine only helps the Marxist/democrat coons.
If we thought that Christine had a chance then we would have volunteered to call from her site or donate etc.
If we thought she had no chance then why bother. This was what the media wanted us to believe
Christine would be seated in the Lame Duck session to stop Democrats’ socialist bills and amnesty.
How do those media puppet strings feel?
I think you who bash Christine are uninformed puppets of the liberal media or democrats.
How I wish you all could be in no holds barred Internet chat room where there are no rules in what you can say.
Some genius. It took her what—12 years??— to get her degree from FDU?

So was Obama's. I guess by that logic we have to like him, now?
You know as well as I do that elections are won because of many different reasons. O'Donnell's is more about the power of the Tea Party than it is about her qualities as a candidate.
Good luck to her, but if she were a better candidate she wouldn't need it.
Delaware’s such a small state - I read somewhere that there are only about 600,000 registered voters. So, you only need 300,000 or so to win - and that would be if every registered voter actually showed up to vote! Note also that polling in DE has been very sparse. It seems WVa, AK, NV, CA - there are polls every day or 2. Not much in DE. Who knows where this race is? COD is right, though, that there would be no reason for Biden to spend time in DE night before election with so many tough senate races around the country.
We’ll see tomorrow.
One other thing: this controversy with the infomercial actually may have worked to COD’s advantage. Many, many websites (including WaPost) embedded the ad or had links to it. Chances are the controversy gave a far wider audience than running this a few times on a public-access channel. Agree that it was superbly done and ideally should have been shown on Friday on a Philly station (they’re the biggies in the DE market).
What are you more upset at, that an upstart like Christine beat Castle or that Coons is not going to beat her by double digits?
“As I said, this is unprecedented. I’ve never seen anything like this since the Ross Perot segments.”
And people say we only support her because of her looks? She’s got the firepower. It would be a shame if the naysayers got their way.
“Too bad her campaign didn’t have it a month ago.”
That’s for sure! Why did they put out that ridiculous “I am not a witch” ad, when something like this would have actually told voters what she stood for?
But I’m still praying for a miracle.
Stop bringing up facts, you'll be accused of being a liberal.
Spare me your condescending drivel. No one defeats a popular establishment Republican in a primary, especially someone like Christine who has no political record of her own. Obviously, the woman is far more intelligent and in-depth on the issues than you might believe, and has excellent political skills.
Enjoy Amnesty for illegals that Christine would have stoppped in the Lame Duck session.
Why don’t you watch her ad now?
How I wish you would go to a no holds barred Internet chat room.
Yes, but Scott Brown had a small lead the night before the election
“In 1987, she graduated from Moorestown High School, where she was a member of the drama club and a student announcer.[1] She attended Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), where she initially majored in theater.[1][12] In 1993, she attended FDU’s graduation ceremony, but did not receive a degree.[15] FDU sued her in 1994 for $4,823; the debt was paid in 2003.[5][16] O’Donnell’s 2006 Senate campaign website stated that she was a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University and articles that reported on her 2006 and 2008 campaigns also said she had a degree from FDU.[nb 3][16] In March 2010 she told The News Journal she had finished her course work but her diploma was being withheld because of an unpaid bill.[1] FDU told Politico she was given her degree on September 1, 2010 after she completed coursework during the summer of 2010.[16] O’Donnell later told The New York Times she had had three senior years of college.[12] Her Bachelor of Arts degree is in English literature with a concentration in communications.[3]
In a 2005 lawsuit, O’Donnell implied she was working toward a master’s degree at Princeton University but she later acknowledged she had never taken graduate courses there.[17] She claimed that she had studied at Oxford University in England but that claim was called “misleading” by The Washington Post as she took only a course run by an unaffiliated institution that was renting space at Oxford.[17][18] As of late September 2010, O’Donnell’s LinkedIn profile stated that she had studied Constitutional Government at Claremont Graduate University near Los Angeles, California;[19] but Claremont said it had no record for her.[17][20] When asked specifically about her profile on three occasions by the Associated Press and The Washington Post, O’Donnell’s staff made no reference to the profile being unauthorized. A few days later, however, when O’Donnell’s possible academic embellishments became an issue, O’Donnell said, “I never established a LinkedIn profile or authorized anyone to do so on my behalf.” [21] Soon after, O’Donnell’s staff asked LinkedIn to remove the profile.”

I think it is excellent and like you think this should be the gold standard for 2012 vs all the ads that turn people off.... we need to educate people not agitate them.
Her win was nothing like Obama’s coronation by the national media, her win was impressive.
I don’t get your bitterness and hostility, a conservative Senate candidate losing to an absolute liberal should cause a little different reaction than your gloating.
I saw it.
Great stuff.
Nice that folks who have not watched it have so much too add concerning and supporting the jive that the MSM is spewing out there.
Can't wait until she proves you wrong--but we all will smile just the same.
She definitely deserves to be senator. If you watched the entire thing, you'd realize that. She's not a slick politician but she certainly has them running scared. She's a good, principled, old-fashioned believer in the United States Constitution.
I watched enough to know it wasn't a "game changer," and besides, I didn't comment on the content of it, so just like with your Rove comment, your distraction from what I actually said won't work.
My comment putting you in with Karl Rove was justified. You had posted about how "silly" her ads were, and now you say she doesn't deserve to be senator and this ad wasn't a "game" changer. Sounds to me like you and Karl are pretty much on the same page about Christine O'Donnell. I can almost see the sneer on your face in what you type.
