That column is results from a previous poll for comparison.

That previous poll was a 5 point outlier if I remmber correctly.

Please be specific and point out what you think her obvious “extremely flawed” flaws are?

OK, thanks. I wonder why they would so obviously expose themselves to charges of fraud?

STOP THINKING IN THE NEGATIVE!

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING CAN BENEFIT US ALL!

GROUP PRAYER DOES WORK. ALONE OR WITH OTHERS, SAY A PRAYER.

Vote. Get others to vote. Protect the vote and be a poll watcher. Think POSITIVELY toward a big win on Nov. 2.

Say a prayer that good will prevail over evil on Nov. 2.

You will have then done all that you can at this point in time. The fight has just begun.

We could be in control of the Senate if we’d have captured Biden’s old seat. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen now.

After all the nasty things said about her (including some Freepers) I’m surprised she can still show up day after day and campaign.

After all the nasty things said about did, I’m surprised she can still show up day after day and campaign...other than that's evidently how she's paid her personal expenses in the past.

I think she is a great candidate who had so many jerks including MSM paint her as a kook and I don’t think she is anything of the sort.

Yes, she's a not crazy...she's just dishonest.

People keep falling for these attacks and that’s why they work (and will continue to be used on GOOD & HONEST conservative candidates)!

Good and honest conservative candidates don't lie to people to raise funds from them. She claimed that [43% was equal to 57%] in an election, trying to convince out-of-state people that she was a well supported candidate in her own state--and therefore deserved funding (which she received, based on the misinformation she pushed). Then when confronted with it, she didn't even have the decency to admit it. She made wacky claims that many have called paranoid., but I think they were just meant as distraction from the fact that she'd been caught over and over.

Honest conservatives don't get cited six times by the FEC for campaign violations. Honest conservatives don't claim they are paying rent to their campaign but then have no payments go to the campaign. Honest conservatives don't mislead left and right on their résumé. Et cetera.

And because people insisted on supporting a grifter just because she spouted the right words, we'll likely be stuck with a far-left radical who will be able to entrench and be in the Senate for decades. What a great success, eh?


When conservatives regain their principles, maybe success will follow.

Comments on this thread prove just how effective push polling is in depressing enthusiasm.

And how effective liars are when trashing GOOD & HONEST CONSEVATIVES which make gullible people believe them!

I would rather some of these people not be on my team because I like to FIGHT not give up when some stupid poll comes out trying to convince us that she has already lost! NO SHE HASN'T!

Ugh. I mean, “After all the nasty things she did,”

Yeah, they’ve got COD losing by 21 and Castle winning by 21. This poll is a fabrication and is designed to do one thing, convince Republicans that only dims can win running as pubbies. My guess is they come out with something just before the election stating the race has tightened considerably so as to not look too foolish.

Yes, and I am amazed at the number of people who buy into this crap over ...and over ...and over ...and over.

I think her campaign staff is inept which does not give me confidence that she is a very organized person. I am very dilegent in my life regarding every last detail and I like that or at least appearance in my candidates. I don’t think she advances the conservative thought, like it or not she has become a nationwide lightning rod and if elected will be scrutinized and her words parsed like no other elected official ever has.

I also am troubled by this lawsuit card she/staff seems so willingly to pull out. i am sick and tired of this lawsuit mentality and O’Donnell seems to be all over the place regarding this part of her life. Hope that helps.

“Propaganda designed to suppress the vote.”


I agree. COD isn’t behind by 21%. She’s behind by 11%.

It's not only what she said, but what she did...and also what she said after getting caught in some things she said and did.

Amen!

I got your back brother, and I too have only begun to fight.

I feel about political 'whiners' as I do those 'fair weather' fans I have to endure when my team is having a good year, but are nowhere to be found when we lose two games in a row.

I do not drink champagne.

I could care less what leftists are doing.

The admitted ones OR the ones that dare call themselves “Republicans.”

Keep the leftist, vomitous treachorous bastards in the disgusting party that they belong in. The Democrap Party.

As much as I hate to say this (and this coming from a contributor to Christine2010.com ), I’m afraid the numbers are insurmountable.

Any poll that does not cross the 50% mark tells me that there are a lot of undecideds. But Coons at 57% ? That tells me that most voters in Delaware have pretty much made up their minds.

It was a good fight Christine. Try again and you’ll win next time. But 2010 is not the year.
