Thanks for this.
Couple of notes from here in the swamps of Delaware.
Kratovil is toast. Your grid says the district leans Republican....leaning my right eyeball. That happens to be my old district in Merryland when oncit I lived there. VERY conservative, the gerrymandered district spans from Anne Arundel County to Merryland’s eastern shore. They lost their mind last time when they elected Kratovil but take this to the bank, the natives are restless, they got pitchforks and tarbuckets, they’re ready to light the fire and it’s GOODBYE KRATOVIL!
Now I know the O’Donnell race is a senate race and not part of this grid. I’d been lamenting the lack of polls in the Coons/O’Donnell race though I have a theory on those same lack of polls. Ask me about it sometime.
But I note that here on your grid so gracefully provided, there’s NOTHING ABOUT THE DELAWARE HOUSE RACE!
I know the COD thing is sucking all of the oxygen out of the air but there is a very important House race going on here in Delaware. Del only has ONE seat in the House of Reps, formerly occupied by the infamous Mike Castle who is, nameofthefather,sonandholyghost, now history. Thus THAT house seat could turn if the pub running now, one Glen Urquhart, who I adore by the way, doesn’t win over the Dem contender, former Del loot-gov John Carney.
On your grid there’s no polls for this race either!
Well I got some thoughts on that too but with Delaware being the focus of attention what with Christine O’Donnell they so love to mock, and this really big House race when you think about it not that poor ole Glen gets any attention with COD taking up all the publicity space...you’d think they’d have SOMETHING on these races, huh?
On your grid there’s no polls for this race either!
It's there: #89 out of 106. We have it ranked LEANS D.
You have to go to KeyHouseRaces Polls to see the full list of polls. And we do have DE-AL listed. In fact you caused me to go hunting for a recent poll and I found one and posted it. It's Monmouth University and it shows Urquhart (R) losing to Carney (D) by 53 to 44.
OK, Pat..I’m asking..give me/us your thoughts on the DEL senate race..and a prediction...much has been said lately that Coon’s newfound willingness to extend ALL the Bush tax cuts means that the race is tight...
