Despite money and ads, poll shows O'Donnell still badly trails Coons in Delaware Senate race

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.

So then why are the Dems still pouring enormous resources into DE? I smell a rat.

This has been a prime example of saul alinsky tactics.

Identify, isolate, freeze, and escalate were employed.

[Wissa]

How can they vote for a well=spoken well-educated candidate, when they could vote for a semi-attractive ex-witch. It’s just crazy.

You seem to have unusual criteria for choosing who to vote for.

I generally vote for whoever will best represent my views.

[Paradox]

You know Babs, you don’t have to be such a d*ck about it. One post expressing your true feelings would suffice, instead of this tiresome string of school girl sarcasm.

Let’s see....Rasmussen had this as an 11 point spread. Another poll showed a 6 point spread. Now, this one shows 21 points.

Where is there ANY legitimate polls that show her trailing by just single digits?

TCJ and internal polls don't count. COD has been trailing from between 10-30 points this entire race, and she will lose badly - almost certainly by double digits.

It's almost unfair. She simply never had a chance and Republican primary voters should not have put someone like her in this position even when she was asking for the job. Use some common sense people.

Some people just vote D or R! They don’t know the candidates! They don’t know that progressives are Socialist Marxist!

Looks like there are a few dem strongholds like Delaware and Calif that will withstand the coming tidel wave.

Who cares about Delaware . It has been a focal point for the Rove rump swabs and the idiot trolls . Od is a nice pig pile target that pulls focus from the fact that the libtards are about to become the super minority party for decades to come . As they focus on Od they lose such bright lights as Dingy Harry , the wizard Alan Greyson and a flotilla of sub-par below average hacks , Bye Bye morons .

It ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings.

[rushmom]

You’re going to have such a bad night Tuesday I don’t begrudge you something to hang your hat on. You poor thing.

[CPT Clay]

I’ll bet one dollar that she will be inside of 55-45. No worse than that.

[Anti-Hillary]

And Scott Brown was 15pts. out with just days to go...

Never give up! Never give in!

Go COD!!!

[agere_contra]

An extremely obvious troll, crowing with delight at the entrails of some bogus poll.

[ClearCase_guy]

This loss will hurt Sarah Palin’s chances at getting the GOP nomination.

On the contrary, I think O'Donnell has highlighted the problem with Country Club Republicans. Rove, Castle, and others should be blamed if this race is lost. The momentum is with the Conservatives, but if the Elitists in the Party want to make common cause with the Democrats, then it becomes harder to win the race.

I like O'Donnell, and I like Palin. The political elite need to go, no matter what the outcome in DE happens to be.

[McGruff]

Well polls can be wrong can't they.

[smoothsailing]

Here come the new sign-ups...like ringing a bell.

Yep, it's easier to kill 'em if you draw 'em out into the open! :o)

[re_nortex]

A university poll?

Please. How about someone with credibility? Propaganda designed to suppress the vote.

Not only a university "poll" (which makes it prima facie suspicious) but one sourced from the Associated Press, which is essentially an arm of the democrats. I don't give a scintilla of credence to this obvious propaganda.

On the other hand, this may backfire since polls such as these could energize Conservative voters. Perhaps a sense of urgency is what's needed for Christine O'Donnell's supporters.

I'd really hit the Marxist angle of that vile Coons character really hard in the final days before November 2nd. That ought to be emphasized in both ads and in personal appearances.

[normy]

You impressed with yourself? How snarky of you.

[tallyhoe]

Look listen to Rush! He thinks she is ahead in the internal polls and might just surprise everyone!

[beezdotcom]

But let’s be serious here. Had Castle endorsed her, and asked to draw ranks behind her, she would have won easily.

I don't know about EASILY - but yeah, she would have definitely had a shot, more so than now.
