“Internal polls must show that this race is even, not the 10 point lead the media campaigners want us to believe. They are trying to depress conservative votes by making everyone feel that this is a lost cause and not bothering to vote.”
This is exactly what they are trying to do, but the GOP’s massive early voting shows this is not working. It might even be depressing the liberal turnout.
Here’s a fun fact for you O’Donnell naysayers from a friend that works in the Dem party on the east coast.
The DNC internal polls conducted out of the New Jersey Dem party had this race 48%-44% (within 4%) on Thursday afternoon. Coons is losing independents and O’Donnell has gained significantly in Dem votes. She leads in Sussex and Kent counties and has shaved off 10% of Coons lead in New Castle County. Uncommitted’s are still very high.
The thinking is that if Dems maintain a turnout of under 35% and Republicans capture a 40-45% turnout among conservative independents and GOP voters, then she will likely win. Its a turnout battle.
That is why Obama is coming back in to Delaware. Remember these polls were taken several days ago, before several interviews and the Gawker story, but trending in O’Donnell’s favor.
Help with GOTV is what is needed. If you have time, volunteer the GOTV phone bank, instead of armchair criticism of a winnable race. This is all within the ‘margin of turnout.’
if there’s 18% black population, I think they’ve determined they need the black vote to win and that’s why they feel safe getting obumbler there. Otherwise, if they’re depending on whites, his visit(s) would backfire.
