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.

You’ve got to be kidding. Do you realize how many candidates Palin has endorsed across the country and how many of them will win? One need not bat 1000.
He has to run again in 2 years. Will Beau Biden primary him?
This is by, and for, Rove and his ... employer.
“Political ignorance” continues to be a very difficult thing for too many voters to successfully “get around”. This is true of all political races, at every political level, where the most conservative candidates are trailing their leftist opponents.

Obama favorable 49 to 45 unfavorable.
Still asking about Castle.
Not surprised. COD is proof you can be on the right side of the issues, and still be an extremely poor candidate. It’s a shame. Coons was ripe for defeat. At least Castle is gone.
After all the nasty things said about her (including some Freepers) I’m surprised she can still show up day after day and campaign.
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. People keep falling for these attacks and that’s why they work (and will continue to be used on GOOD & HONEST conservative candidates)!
So keep falling for it and we will keep getting the same tax & spend government that we have now.
Coons will probably win, but not by much.
The GOP wave will close the gap substantially and give her a fighting chance.
Heard the same. Rush is saying that internal polling and frequent visits by democrat leadership indicative of a failing chris coons.
Using your definition of common sense, I submit there is no point in any Republican running for office in Delaware.
I remind you and others, in a small state such as Delaware, turn out is everything. Remember, Hillary Clinton was down (in all polls) by double digits in New Hampshire in the 2008 Democrat Primary, a race which she ended up beating Obama by 3 points.
Delaware is the one race i think i would pop open a champagne bottle for if she won.
No, “Republicans” would be losing a Senate seat. The problem is assuming we all share the same goals.
I knew she would lose. I supported her anyway. Keeping Castle out of a strengthened McCain/McConnell/Collins etc... caucus was more important to me then adding a seat to the “R” column. I’m content with Castle just not being seated.
Now I DO think those precious people of sense you refer to made the differential wider then it would have been. They are responsible for the loss being so large with the tantrums they threw and I do hold them accountable for their irresponsible behavior. But so far as caring a damn about losing this Senate seat? It isn’t going to happen. We (conservatives) would have had to have something to lose for me to be upset.
Besides I think she’s a terrible candidate. I’ve never said differently and I’m fine with her not being a representative of the movement because of this loss. Angle may not be the most effective speaker but she’s sincere and dependable. I’ve never been convinced of O’Donnell’s sincerity to the cause rather then her own political fortunes.
Uh...I don’t know...somethin’ about your post tells me you don’t love her very much...
We need to be careful and not take things for granted. Of course this “Poll” is a plant from A.P. (Associated Propaganda.) designed to deflate Conservative resolve. But like a great, great commander during World War 2 said during the Battle of the Bulge; “The poor bastards have us surrounded!”
This poll is completely bogus—it was taken on October 6th—and just now released on the 28th!
The headlines all reinforce the false story that she’s that far behind after all her ads.
I can’t find the party ID breakdown.
If so, why is the left focusing so intensely on Delaware?
I hope Christine O’Donnell wins, but I thought his comment was pretty funny.
No crosstabs and no explanation of what they consider a “likely voter”.
Probably using 2008 turnout model.
I’d take ten points off.
