Post-election comparisons of results vs. polls is going to be very interesting this year, especially in places like DE.
Win or lose, I like this chick. She has had everything thrown at her and she hasn’t wilted. She has some big ones of whatever it is that ladies have in lieu of big brass ones.
“Chick” is a term of high endearment to me so nobody be offended.
“This appeal to non-traditional GOP voters by grassroots campaigners like Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell is being missed or ignored by the pundits IMO.”
That’s funny, because it is obvious to you and me. In DE, it is not just anti-Obama or strictly ideological. It is cultural. It is the populists versus the elites. A lot of union voters who would have been comfortable with Biden will reject the effete snob Coons and it won’t have anything to do with ideology or how the elections in 2008 or 2006 turned out.
This is a whole new ball game on multiple levels and the so-called experts are completely missing it.
To me, it is just a recapitulation of the dynamics that were at work in 1980 and were at least fermenting as early as 1976.
