Democrats are newly confident about their chances in the First State, but that doesn't mean the party won't have to spend money to hold on to the seat.
The DSCC has made an $85K ad buy in the Salisbury, MD, media market, sources who watch ad spending tell Hotline On Call. That market covers the southern portion of Delaware, where marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell performed strongly in her primary win on Tuesday.
The DSCC refused to comment, citing a policy against confirming the existence of advertising buys.
O'Donnell's stunning primary win on Tuesday over Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE) was considered a break for Democrats. Castle, who has been in Delaware politics for 4 decades, was considered by most analysts to be the strongest general election candidate in the GOP field.
With O'Donnell as the nominee, New Castle Co. Exec. Chris Coons (D) goes into the general election as the front runner. The Democrats' ad buy, however, suggests that it isn't taking anything for granted given the volatility of the electorate.
Amazing the energy and enthusiasm she’s generated with this win. She’s down by 11 now according to Ras but that’s nothing this election cycle. That can be undone overnight.
She’s gonna win this thing.
Same as Kennedy's and we saw what happened there when the TEA party got involved.
The national mood for taking out the trash in Washington is a gale force wind at our backs. We’re going to look back on 2010 and wonder why we did not field strong TEA party candidates in New York vs. Gillebrand and other places.
“Amazing the energy and enthusiasm she’s generated with this win. She’s down by 11 now according to Ras but that’s nothing this election cycle. That can be undone overnight.
She’s gonna win this thing.”
Yep, and an important note in that poll:
Voters not affiliated with either major party prefer O’Donnell by eight points...
About half as scared as the RINOs. We've been warned over and over that we have to run liberal Republicans in order to win. If O'Donnell wins, in the future that panicky warning will appear about as credible as the global warming scam.
How many voted for Castle because they bought into the hype that he was the only one that could win? Without that threat hanging over the voter's heads this time, how big would O'Donnell's winning margin have been?
“Democrats are newly confident about their chances in the First State, , so
The DSCC has made an $85K ad buy in the Salisbury, MD”
Well, according to various RINOs and the propaganda press, Coons the commie is ahead by 40 points. So why the big media buy? Coons should be at the costume shop being fitted for a hood and sheet or an SS Eisengrouper uniform to march in the victory parade.
