“...randomly selected Delaware adults”

Who else votes BUT adults?

You've gotta give the RATS and their sympathizers credit...they're *masters* at destroying people.Too bad they're so utterly useless in every other activity of life.

We traded a sure-fire win for a RINO for an almost sure-fire loss to a Marxist.

In the end, it might still be a good trade. I hate diluting the Republican brand with Libs like Castle.

If the people of Delaware want Socialism, let them vote RAT. Maybe one day they will wise up, and if they do, we need to make sure we are viewed as a true alternative.

No. I’m not embarrassed in the least. I never thought the Repugs stood a chance of taking the majority in the Senate, and I for one, am damn glad to see a RINO not get that seat. As for O’Donnell...okay, it doesn’t look good for her, but in the end, good riddance to the RINO Castle and let his defeat at the hands of the Tea Party candidate be a warning to other elitist, snooty, snobby, RINO punks.

Wow! This is going to be the first race called on election night. I will never forget the embarrassing senate seat in Florida Katherine Harris-Bill Nelson election was called with two percent of the votes in and was the first one called. We can’t win them all but to have an embarrassing blow out is not good.

Only adults vote, but not all adults.

at this stage of the election, Smart polsters are limiting the pool to “Likely Voters”.

the realy hard part is guessing what the turnout percentages will be for the two parties and independents.

Nope.

If a Lib has to win that seat I prefer they have a “D” next to their name rather than an “R”......

Why even try? This “democracy” of ours has become a joke. At this stage, I would resort to mockery and street theater a la Abbie Hoffman. Does anyone here think that Bawney Fwank, Alcee Hastings, Barbara Boxer or Barbara Lee can ever be dislodged? A fools game. 89% of incumbents get reelected (please feel free to correct my number.)

Not me. Best case scenario, O'Donnell wins. Bad scenario, Coons wins. Worst scenario, Castle won the primary ane the general election.

Have we forgotten Jumpin' Jim Jeffords? With the very real chance of a 50-50 tie in the Senate, Castle would have been kingmaker. Better the devil you know than the RINO you know. :)

To me at least, O'Donnell's win was a necessity to get rid of Castle so that he wouldn't get "bipartisan". I've never had much hope that she'd win in the general election. I support her, and want her to win, but I'm not going to lose sleep if she lost.

In a sense, O'Donnell is similar to Hoffman in NY-23. Like him, she's also a candidate that gained support because of their opponents, not because of themselves. In Hoffman case, when somebody else ran in the next election, he lost.

That to me is the bottom line. What doesn’t get cleaned out in 2010 will get cleaned out in 2012.

Really? Not Maryland US Senate?
Who’s the Republican running there?
Is that planned to be a close race?

How about Leahy in Vermont? That a nail-biter you think?
Who do we have challenging a Democrat incumbent?

Not a complete loss...got rid of Castle, and I have learned to avoid Delaware at all costs...don’t care for people that embrace Communism.

Pretty hard for her when she has to run against both sides. Even Rush dissed her regarding her advertisement. Only people that seem to support her are died hard conservative independents and tea party types.
I am getting more and more disgusted with the republicans. Not a word against the commie she is running against but plenty time dissing her. As I said even Rush is becoming part of the problem now. Guess he doesn’t want to get embarrassed either.

I agree 100%. I’d rather be stabbed in the front by an acknowledged enemy than stabbed in the back by someone wearing my own team jersey.

Since when does “Fairly Ridiculous” do polls?

I also note that Sienna in NY has Cuomo winning by 40 points or something....I’ll wait till I see a poll from a more familiar/reliable source.
