The survey released Thursday by Fairleigh Dickinson University-PublicMind shows Coons holding a commanding lead of 21 points, with 57 percent of likely voters saying they will vote for Coons compared to just 36 percent for O'Donnell.

Sure thing... /sarc. I'd rather face the enemy at the front than a RINO like Castle sticking it in your back from the rear. The object over the next two years is to jam the Democrats agenda. The Repubs will have plenty of Senators after this election is over to stall Obama and the rats from moving their socialistic agenda forward.
Got it... thanks!
If she does lose, they'll blame it all on Christine O'Donnell and the people who supported her and continue with the erroneous claim that she couldn't win to begin with.
Conservatives will make similar claims regarding a congressional race in PA, where they behaved likewise.
Both groups are enemies to the Conservative Cause and the Republican party.
Nonsense. Your sounding kind of paranoid here.
The establishment of any political party wants to win. They naturally tend to gravitate to the known quantity and the people they are most comfortable with, but they will drop allegiances in a heartbeat if they think they can win with another candidate. The Florida establishment was entirely behind Crist too. Rubio proved to be an excellent candidate, it became absolutely clear he was going to win the primary, Crist dropped out, and the entire GOP establishment is now backing Rubio.
Had O'Donnell proved over a long primary campaign to be an excellent campaigner, showed she could survive the scrutiny of the various skeletons that were falling out of her closet (ie, become fully vetted), demonstrated that there was reason to believe she could win statewide, etc - the establishment would have come on board.
As is, Republicans basically have to say they'll support her, but it's kinda hard to get too fired up for a candidate you know simply can't win. I think the disconnect here is that you see Christine as someone who could win a statewide race in Delaware, and I (and most political analysts) just don't. We see her as a sure loser in a state like Delaware. I think it's become pretty clear considering she is down 10-20 in the polls this late in the game that I will be proven quite correct.
My reference was to Vince Lombardi’s motto...
“Winning is the only thing”. Losers in election have ZERO power
to affect any changes. Biden is an idiot but won many times.
I expressed my love for Christine by sending her my hard earned money. But I do not like being an ostrich.
November 3rd will make it clear if you are right or I am right. I follow the Vince Lombardi school of thought..”winning is everything”. Losers end up with a big fat zer power to change anything.
As for being a troll, I am a self made person who believes that you are responsible for your success or failure. That is eons away from how democrats think. My net worth is 10,000 times more than what I started out with no handouts from any one ever!
Your post is the best on this thread. I think you are 100% right.
The O’Donnell disaster on November 2nd is NOT my wish. It is my fear and trepidation and forecast based on reality.
Thank you so much. I deeply appreciate that.
Everything you say in your post is probably right.
I am nauseated by Castle, Murkowski, Crist and their ilk of sore losers.
Hampdenkid’s post sheds light on reasons for her weak showing.
Her heart is in all the right places, but looks like she is a neophyte in managing a political campaign.
You are mistaking my forecast versus my wish. If I wanted her to lose, why would have I sent $$$ to her campaign?
Delaware should be happy giving the “bearded Marxist” the nod.
“As far as I am concerned, all the O’Donnell bashers can shove it.”
I agree!
Like what vote rhino.
Sometimes this may be the case. There are times where RINO's are so destructive to our own side that it is just not worth having them. But when the Senate may be at stake? No, the smart move here was nominating a candidate that would have won and giving ourselves a chance of taking a majority in the Senate.
Sorry but we don't need Obama appeasers now.
They’ve got 5 days to come to their senses and elect Christine.
