The majority of DE citizens have a negative job approval rating of Obama, and think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The Democrat candidate is a self described Marxist with a capital M!

Does anyone think DE is more liberal than Mass.?

The bottom line is my pet dog Skippy could win in a landslide running as a Republican, unless...

The GOP establishment submarined their own nominee out of spite, because an outisder won the nomination instead of the insiders’ hand picked candidate. And that is exactly what we are seeing.

Thank you Tokyo Rove, and your fellow travelers in the GOP.

Last night ODonnell said that Castle had not even called her after the election. I wonder if Castle along with Rove will effectively work for the Democrats because they are so threatened by the Tea Party movement?

Now the people of Delaware have a clear choice between a democrat and a Republican.

With Castle the choice would have been a democrat or a democrat lite.

Why can't the RNC Elites see that a vote for a RINO is really a victory for the democrats? It does nothing to further the conservative movement to take back the country from the grips of socialism.

Voters not affiliated with either major party prefer O’Donnell by eight points.

That number will grow.

Yup... even the RINO Brown was down about 17 points just 2 weeks before the election.

remember, Conservatives are at work and don’t have time to answer these polls....

It may tighten, but she won’t win.

The is something called Hotelling’s Law. Essentially, it says that if one party goes too far to one side, the other party captures the middle.

Tea Party has captured some independents and liberals, but I will bet anyone right now that Hotelling’s Law will apply and she will lose.

I’m rooting for her, but it isn’t going to happen. That was Rove’s and Perrino’s point.

Thank you. I’ll be giving as lavishly as possible to an out-of-state candidate for only the 3rd time with Christine’s campaign. You’re right; she has to win.

Do the voters of Delaware really want to give Reid a pet in the senate? When Reid himself may be out of a job? That sound clip has to make it into a tea party ad.

This is a winnable race Karl Rove. We have a bright Conservative in that race that can really drive home Coons marxists ideals. 11 points a month and a half away is not the blow out the GOP sold us. Does any one believe Castle would have gone after this guy?

That's been my theory all along. And industrious conservatives don't have the time to take phone surveys when the ARE at home.

Yes, and where are the Dems going to give their money? To elect Coons or to protect Reid, Boxer, Murray, Feingold. They are under pressure everywhere and will run low on ammo.

The problem with that analysis is that all over the country, simply being a Democrat is being “too far to one side” — the election is a referendum on the Democrats, and they’re not going to win it.

Frankly, if Coons ever drops below 50%, he’s toast, and he’s already straddling that line, even with O’Donnell at likely her worst position between now and election day, after taking repeated beatings from the GOP establishment.

At least Delaware voters now have a real choice, Marxism or liberty! That’s not hyperbole. That’s actually a fairly accurate depiction of the general election.

So voters of Delaware, what’s it going to be?

Create the Delaware Immigrant Society and have last minute voters pour into the state by bus, by plane and by train. If they could do it to Kansas in 1850 - it can happen anywhere.

Since when did Coons become a brilliant statesman? Ideas and passion trumps empty suits, and the ideas are all on our side right now.

A real grass roots campaign should really work in a small population and geographically small state such as Delaware.

No, why, is that where the Marxists hang out? /s Looked it up, looks like a fun place.
