Furthermore, the Democrats will have to spend money in a blue state defending this seat. If the Democrats are "giddy" about Christine winning, it's PURE SPIN. They are crapping in their panties right now.

Spend money to defend against only 29% of all Delaware voters?

It is time to get out of the Echo Chamber and deal with reality.

Polls show that just 29 percent of Delaware voters have a favorable view of O'Donnell.

All politics is local and Delaware is not the Wyoming.

One recent release highlighted a Rasmussen poll showing Castle carrying a double-digit lead over Democrat Chris Coons in the general Senate race, 48 percent to 37 percent. When Coons and O'Donnell are matched up, Coons leads O'Donnell by a 47 percent to 36 percent margin.

So, Castle was not as "Republican" as political purists wanted him to be.

Well, folks, neither is Delaware.

In such a Left leaning state as Delaware, nominating a true conservative is like nominating Ralph Nader as the Democrat candidate for a Wyoming U.S. Senate race.

Is Scott Brown (R-MA) a "RINO"?

Yes, he is.

Did "RINO" Scott Brown put a stop to the far-Left agenda of Barack Obama?

Yes, he did.

What are the chances of electing a true conservative in far Left-wing Massachussets?

A snowflake's chance in Hell.

All politics is local and Delaware is the Wyoming.

A point I've been making all along. One FReeper responded he'd rather see 30 "true conservatives" against 70 dems in the Senate than any RINOs. All great, except those numbers present no resistance to the dems' socialist agenda.

But we're makin' that "statement," right??

I understand why the RNSC is not spending money there right now, it’s a difficult, difficult map to win as a Conservative Republican.

The state has 621,000 registered voters. Nearly half (292,000) are Democrats. 183,000 are registered Republicans and 146,000 are Independents.

In order for O’Donnell to win, Democrat turnout will have to be significantly lower than Republican turnout (aka light turnout in the Wilmington area, heavy in the rest of the state). O’Donnell will also need a 20-30% defection of Coons voters, she’ll need to win Independents by like a 2-1 margin and hold most, if not all, of the Republican vote.

I’d rank her chances about the same as McMahon winning in CT and Raese winning in WV. I can see why the pundits are putting it in the leans Democrat column.

Don’t get me wrong, O’Donnell can win, she just has a very challenging road ahead. She’ll need a huge Tea Party tidal wave to push her over the top, which hopefully will materialize on Nov. 2.

However, until there’s polling indicating that this race is competitive (e.g. within 5 points), I agree with you. NRSC money should be shifted to states like WI, NV, WA, CA and IL where Pubbies have a better chance of winning.
