If Coons wins, he won't be up for reelection until 2016. Senators serve six-year terms.

No. This election is to fill out the remainder of Biden's unexpired term, to which he was elected (over O'Donnell, in a landslide) in 2008.

An appointee filled the seat until the next general election, this year ... leaving 4 more years in the term.

So this seat is next up for election in 2014.

Ahem....

COD got two points less iin the 2008 election than John McCain got over Obamer. Which was something like 37%....but it wasn’t a “landslide” against COD, since the pub nominee for prez came in about the same.

But don’t let me stop your demented mission against Christine O’Donnell with the facts or anything.
