Most polls have predicted that the closely watched Delaware Senate race between Democrat Chris Coons and Republican tea-party favorite Christine ODonnell was going to be anything but close. One poll last week had Mr. Coons up by 10 points, while all the others gave him a far more comfortable margin.
But Democrats in Delaware remain skittish.
In a noon email alert to supporters, Coons campaign manager Christy Gleason said close monitoring of voter turnout in the states 41 representative districts showed lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than were comfortable with.

If COD wins, just the schadenfreude alone against Odonnell bashing FReepers will be immensly satisfying, then after that snack, its on to the main course watching DUmmies and mediots explode. And for dessert, a delicious serving of RINO’s jubilee and a good cigar.
Yeah, I’m stuck in MA (the bluest of blue), but there is a chance we’ll elect a Repuplican Gov. (Baker) and a Rep. Congressman (Hudak). Fingers crossed...
That's my plan as well. I checked the popcorn supplies last night to make sure there was an adequate supply. Wifi, FOX news, and FreeRepublic on the couch tonight. What fun!!!!
Right on! It would have been Rove and the Ruling Class that set the tone. It could be that these hacks overplayed their hands so bad that it has created a backlash.
Yes it would, but don’t get too excited. A lot of campaigns put out “we need voter turnout” calls during election day to scare people into voting. There hasn’t been one poll showing her ahead. I’ll be happy if she comes close to winning, and of course I’ll be through the roof if she wins. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
Does anyone know if Christine O’Donnell was ever able to get her PAID FOR 30 MINUTE ADD RUN ON TV?
Would’nt that be something!
Dont be complacent. Everybody VOTE!
Based on what I saw at the polling place the Democrats are out in force.
Obama won Kent by 10 points and lost Sussex by 10 points, while winning New Castle by 40 points.
I will faint if we can win this.
The fact that the Coons came out to say this is dramatic.
Sure, it’s a call to go vote for the bearded Marxist but the “Public” release of this news could also work for COD.
I would much rather stare at a cute O’Donnel for the next 6 years as a ‘bearded Marxist’. [/sexist conservative opinion]
I think he's mad that it isn't working.
I always thought that every tossup would go the GOP way (based on turnout/undersampling GOP) and they’d be some surprises thrown in. LMAO!
I would like to think he's reading it from FR.
Rush says the Coons camp is probably calling SEIU (union) pleading "please send some thugs out here quick!"
LOL!

Looks like we are both in the same boat. Hey at least you guys elected Scott Brown..no way would a Republican ever get elected in this liberal hellhole. I doubt even Reagan could win in my state the way that it is, but I am going to do my civic duty and vote because this is cutting off Obama’s power. I have heard many liberals on TV say they are not going to bother voting, even my aunt and uncle(Both Dems) say they are not voting..so if more Republicans go vote we could actually win, even in this blue state
Kent and Sussex are the red counties; New Castle is the blue. New Castle has the only large urban area in the state, along with the bulk of the population.
I'll be going out to the polls in Kent County after work, along with my wife, to cast our votes for O'Donnell and Urquhart.
