Go Christine!”

Other Senators,and the new Republican Congress won’t be seated until 2011. Only Christine and one or 2 others could participate in the lame duck session that takes place before the end of 2010.

If Christine wins then Christine will stop the democrats’ Amnesty for illegals and other horrors the socialist vermin , the democrats, plan to unleash upon America during the Lame Duck session.

Now we know why the media has thrown the kitchen sink at Christine.

Think she’s gonna pull it off. I really, really do.

DISCLAIMER: I own no Cod shares. :O)

I am not the only one who has been saying that this election is going to be much bigger than anyone thought. Better late than never, just today, Gallup came out with their final enthusiasm gap number: 19%. Biggest by far. 1994 was a 9% gap. This is going to be HUGH and very series!

[SeekAndFind]

Remember this — Christine was WAY BEHIND Mike Castle just the day before the primaries. She thumped him the next day.

Carl Paladino was way behind Ric Lazio just the day before the primaries in NY. He won by a whopping 26%.

Scott Brown was down by 9 percent behind Martha Coakley the day before the Massachusetts Senate elections. He won 52% to 48%.

In 2004, the EXIT POLLS on the eve of the elections had John Kerry beating Dubya.

LESSON: IGNORE THE POLLS AND VOTE !!

But she’s a Witch. /s

The Entire DE US Senate race has been beyound wierd! I just don’y know WHAT to think. Anyone here have any thoughts concerning this?

[xuberalles]

This would be a huge upset and oh so sweet!

[ScottinVA]

Watching CoD’s 30-minute ad now. A beautifully arranged video message.

I sure do wish she’d had a longer time after the primary, so people could have more time to come to appreciate her. She’d be a great Senator.

Delaware state Election Commission rep. Elaine Manlove reports 11,650 absentee ballots submitted as of yesterday. This is more than the state normally receives for a midterm election, she said.

5,175 - 44% - from Democrats.

4,458 - 38% - from Republicans.

2,017 - 18% - from independents.

Can any number crunchers out there make anything out of this info?

[Pete]

Rush asking right now, “Why are they [Dems] spending so much time in DE”?

[NavVet]

If you live in Deleware and you want to Send a package to Washington, send it COD, otherwise you’ll have to pay for it later.

[ScottinVA]

C’mon, Delaware... don’t put that bald-headed weasel in the Senate. Do the right thing and elect Christine O’Donnell.

[wardaddy]

I have donated to O’Donnel...twice now. I hope she wins and if she does it will defy the polls. However some of the examples here are not accurate:

Scott Brown led by double digits the day before election and had been ahead for nearly two weeks before.

Bush led Kerry by nearly 2 points in final poll tally from Real Clear Politics:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/bush_vs_kerry.html

Lazio and Paladino were about even in final polls in their race...some had lazio up a point or so and some had Paladino up a bit. Paladino had surged from way behind over a week earlier.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/maggiehaberman/0910/Siena_poll_has_Lazio_Paladino_tied_.html

Christine O'Donnell was in fact slightly ahead of Castle right before the election and had surged late as well but the final polls

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2010/09/13/odonnell_surges_to_lead_over_castle_in_new_poll_107124.html

I sure hope Christine actually does beat the polls and they are way off this time, nothing would make me happier. I have studied polls over and over since Harry met Dewey and very few have been off by large measures and in recent history they have been reasonably reflective. This idea that polls are always way off is a myth. FReepers...myself included...lol...never believed polls that don't got their way but consider gospel those that do. And yep..like I said...I've done it too but 95% of the time the polls..especially if many have been done on a big race...will be close to the vote.

Hope tonight is an exception, it could be...given the swell.

[wardaddy]

Let's hope I'm wrong, I'm surprised not more polls done considering how the media fixated:

Intrade is essentially a gambling site. It has no bearing on actual electoral results — it only reflects the sentiments of those who use it.
