However, PPP also Tweeted that their General Election numbers they will “release later show [Democrat Chris] Coons clocking O’Donnell
Win battles but lose the war...
Coons is basically unopposed so that last few weeks all the public have seen are the negative attacks on both sides of the Republican primary.
This doesn’t affect Castle as much as he is already a known entity but it does affect people’s opinion of O’Donnell whom they’ve only started to hear about.
Once O’Donnell wins the primary, she’ll get a boost just based on that, she’ll also be able to run a campaign against Coons where for the first time in this election cycle voters will hear about the negatives of Coons.
I’ve worked on political campaigns, and I tell you the hypothetical general elections match ups before a primary is over mean absolutely nothing. The winner will almost always simply be the guy among the primary candidates who has the most name recognition.
Defeating Castle IS winning the war!
Look, Castle is basically a liberal Dim. That's his voting record. So how are we “losing the war” even if the “official” Dim wins?
At least we won't have this enemy within our own gates.
Defeating Castle is winning the war.
