Another indication that nobody should write Christine O'Donnell off. Money talks, bullsh*t(read polls) walks.

Spend wisely, my child. All that money ain’t worth a hoot if you don’t target your audience with the correct message.

[screaminsunshine]

Bet she wins. Scott Brown was the same way. People now would vote for a Kangaroo before a Democrat. They are exposed.

Three weeks is a lifetime in politics. Especially when the polls are cooked.

Pray for America

how is possums doing?

[EGPWS]

Christine O’Donnell, Delaware’s Republican Senate candidate, surprised her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, by raising more than twice as much money in the three months ending Sept. 30, according to the campaigns.

Couldn't happen to a nicer a$$h0le

Well, maybe Dingy Harry!

[Candor7]

Never write off a Mama Grizzley.

[chilltherats]

I wonder how much of that money is fron DE residents and businesses.

[MichaelCorleone]

This is great news. If this comes to pass it will be a win of epic proportions, will it not?

[Gator113]

I hope she pulls it off.

[Theodore R.]

Yes, a victory here would be the first miracle ever to come out of predictable DE.

[mrsmith]

Means nothing.

Until Castle lost the primary Coons didn’t need any money. His was just a ‘SHOW’ campaign.

The DSCC put $170,000 in his campaign each of the last two weeks. Money is pouring in from NARAL, unions, Climate kooks...

[SharpRightTurn]

I hope Christine is spending this money on some hard-hitting attack ads against the bearded Marxist.

Anyone from Del. on the thread who can report on the ad wars and the effectiveness of Christine's ads? She needs to pummel this guy.

[Freddd]

I can’t figure it out.

Obama and Biden went to stump for Coon’s who has already won it....

Of course Biden did say of Obama, ‘his brain is bigger than his skull’...

The Mainstream Media's reaction:

[Delacon]

This is just me but I think Christine has been holding back. She knows the base is fired up and doesn’t need to worry about them. She needs to pick up independents who by nature have short attention spans. She needs to get ex Castleites off the sofa and she needs to get unsatisfied dems. Look for her to start hitting hard any day now.

[Delacon]

You are welmcome. Please put me on your ping list.

Rush says pollsters reported O’Donnell cut Coon’s lead in half after the debate. Game on !
