“This is Biden country”
I pity the state of Delaware. To many buffoons in the state and not enough Conservatives. A prescription for failure.
Thanks to Karl “Porky Pig” Rove!!!
Well, you don’t have to remind me to never set foot in that little shithole state.
You hear that, Karl, you worthless establishment troll.
Mostly too DE is a “handing chad” congressional district dropping out of Philadelphia. Too bad the old Penn family cut it separate from PA
Exit polls about the outcome of a race that was never waged are pretty much meaningless. He may have lost, he may have won. We don’t know...the moves on the chess board that would have determined that ultimate outcome of such a matchup were never made by either side.
Hopefully...this will not be a repeat of the continuous false election assertion....like the one still pushed today that Ross Perot cost Bush 41 the White House...when all polls showed that Clinton would have won without Perot in the election.
Castle would not have beaten Coons....lets hope that the Liberal RINO element in the GOP does not use the “Castle would have beat Coons” falsehood
But it was easier to blame O’Donnell.
I always believed that the idiot Lib majority in Delaware would prefer a true unrepentant Lib like Coons, than a Lib wannabe GOPer like Castle. So, I never believed that Castle or O’Donnell had a real chance. Their primary contest and O’Donnells run was a made-for-the-media diversion, while the majority in Delaware were already behind Coons.
Rove blaming O’Donnell and O’Donnell supporters blaming people like Rove was also just an entertaining diversion - a diversion from the fact of how extremely Left-Lib the state of Delaware is.
If the 18% of "republicans" that voted for Coons had instead ALL voted for O'Donnell, she still would have lost.
Here is the actual table from the CNN exit polls (sometimes people talk about a different exit poll when they suggest O'Donnell won the independent vote): CNN Exit Poll Delaware:
Total Coons O'Donnell Other/No Answer
Democrat (44%) 89% 9% 2%
Republican (30%) 16% 81% 3%
Independent(27%) 48% 45% 7%
Republican vote 30%*296924=89,077.2; 16% of that vote=14,252.
So if we added the 14252 to O'Donnell's total and took them from Coons, the final would be Coons: 159,624, O'Donnell 137,277. So she would still lose by a considerable amount (54% to 46%, an 8-point loss).
So you can't blame the republicans who showed up and voted for Coons instead of O'Donnell.
Further, it is silly to look at the actual voters on election night, and assert that the same voters would have shown up had Castle been the nominee. Especially when another argument made is that Castle voters stayed home, hurting O'Donnell. If the voters who showed up for a coons/O'Donnell race would have only barely chosen Coons over Castle, it is clear that in a real Coons/Castle race Castle would have trounced Coons.
Of course, that argument was clearly made when this exit poll was actually NEWS 2 months ago, and the poster of THAT thread ignored it.
Why this same exit poll is considered news by ANYBODY at this point is the more interesting question. Some people like to keep talking about the past hoping they can change it by spinning it.
they just freaking handed the country a communist and an elite ruling class communist at that....
they have to live with their stupidity and arrogance....too bad the rest of us do too...
