Coons (D) - O'Donnell (R) Debate thread 7:30pm EDT CNN .
Wolf Blitzer can only effect the thinking of the independents in his audience. All fourteen of them...
I think Castle showed exactly what he is made of by the way he handled himself in the primary and afterwards. Not a very pretty picture.
I sure hope that the people of Delaware realized that Christine was debating three people! The moderators were arguing with her on several points as if THEY were the ones debating her! And CNN wonders why their ratings are in the tank!
“Yeah, I think she did OK. There were times when she slipped a bit but this debate was not on national television. The moderator’s were extremely bias against COD. It was probably viewed by only political junkies”
CNN and C-Span are national television. And they could have shown the debate right after House on the same channel and only political junkies would have watched. What COD needs more than Coons, is money. After tonight’s impressive showing, maybe the junkies of the country will pour money into her campaign. I’ve said it before, Delaware is the 3rd least populated state in the country yet is senators carry the same powerful vote that California’s two senators do. So it behooves out of state voters to contribute to her campaign. Maybe they will now.
Interesting.
Reid wins, right?
You’re predicting a Angle loss, an Ayotte loss, a Fiorina loss, a Whitman loss, a Haley loss?
All these women we have running are going to lose is what you’re saying, because men always beat women? Unless they’re extremely masculine women?
I think you’re wrong. If you have a link to your theory that men always beat women when times are bad, I’d like to see it.
I agree. But MSM will attack O’Donnell not matter how well she does. I have noticed the relentless attacks on her while not a word about Coons. What has surprised me is how frantic Jay Leno has gotten about her. Either she has rejected him or he has a huge bet on the outcome. He is not the only one.
Will now? Will continue to? Over $4 mill since the primary. But it’s always good to have more for such a great candidate that we most certainly do want to win.
I’ll give details and ask for corrections if needed from others who heard. Husband and I having a great time with sound byte.
But first, listen to Rush...the talk shows. It was the sound byte of the night...the way it came down...precious, priceless.
And give Wolf Blitzer credit for allowing Christine to slam the ball right down Coons’ throat, caught him dead to wrong.
O’Donnell asked Coons if his company...GORE I think it is...will benefit from Cap and Trade laws and if so, will he recuse himself from the bill.
For some reason this question was about to be bypassed or maybe Coons gave it short shrift, gimme help here cause I note a couple others on this thread got it. So Wolf stops the conversation from going on to another topic and asks Christine what products Coon’s company makes that might benefit from Cap and Trade.
Pause again folks. We all know Cap and Trade is a hot topic and more than anything it’s probably why O’donnell beat Castle like a drum. Castle, a House Repub, voted FOR Cap and Trade. Also, Cap and Trade is NOT a big thing Delawarians are all that happy about, even the libs.
So Christine answers Blitzer that Coons’ company makes....GUESS WHAT?
FUEL CELLS!
Come on guys. Laugh and jump up and down right here. go ahead, I’ll wait.
I don’t know what the hell a fuel cell is but it sure sounds like something having something to do with energy that sounds like something needed for proper Capping and Trading and I bet the rest of Delaware will see it that way too.
So Coons almost literally slaps his bald head and says..as I paraphrase for comedy...”OH FUEL CELLS! DAG I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!”
I’m jumping around the room, husband over in corner laughing. He’s slapping his head and imitating a busy and forgetful Coons who DONE FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE FUEL CELLS!
And it’s not like Coons got out of it graciously! He stumbled and bumbled and meanwhile husband and I are dancing and having the best laff of the day. Coons mumbles, I’m not making this up, about his company makes dental floss and dag with all this...
...WELL HE DONE FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE FUEL CELLS!
It was a Mastercard PRICELESS moment.
It’s the sound byte that will entertain y’all all day tomorrow and it’s the sound byte that will cost Coons the election.
As well it should. He was DELIBERATELY avoiding the topic and got caught red-bald-headed.
No wonder the people of Delaware are so screwed up...I can just imagine the damage caused by this propagandist over the past 24 years...I thought New England women were nasty...this one takes it to a new level.
They should always stress the physical, psychological and emotional effects that abortions have on women. Furthermore, there are increasing findings of associations of abortions with breast cancer and other serious problems.
The abortion industry is not about helping women. It is about money, about $6,000 per abortion, I think. A sizable fraction of this money goes to Democrats.
Repubs should stress these issues. Otherwise, they will be hit with the "will you prevent abortions in the case of rape or incest ...?" There is no politically satisfying answer to this qiestion.
The superior COD. Yes, of course, to us. We know what we think, and we know what she thinks.
You and I and virtually all freepers did not even need to listen to this encounter. We already made the right choice.
But I’m sorry to say, a hell of a lot of people who vote, DO still listen to CNN. They absorb television. Wolf B is just one of many people who can still tell mentally flaccid, VOTING people, what to think.
You might be amazed — or shocked, disgusted, horrified — at the reasons people vote for one candidate or another. It isn’t always about ideas.
Sometimes it’s against COD and her high voice. Sometimes it’s against Coons because he wore a copen blue shirt, a claret red tie, and an olive green jacket all at once.
If Christine wants to talk about WL Gore there’s a lot there.
Look up PFOA. I posted a bunch of articles on it here yesterday i think.
it’s poison, and it’s used in the manufacture of gore-tex.
Some say that 98% of Americans have PFOA in their bodies.
Coons makes millions poisoning people, it seems.
Christine can’t really say that, but young voters who lean Democrat who go to UDel would be interested in reading how Chris Coons is poisoning them.
I don’t prophesy and I hope I’m wrong about stupid voters, but I’ve listened to an awful lot of them.
Really obvious to me. I hope most Delawareans, even die-hard democrats, caught that and at least listened to Christine and thought about her responses. If they did, they may come away thinking she is the right choice. Again, it's pretty obvious Coons is a pet of the administration and will vote the Reid-Pelosi-Obama party line. Is that what you want Delaware? I still think this election nationwide is a Referendum Election. This election is about the survival of our Sacred Republic. We'll see on November 3rd. . .
Karibjanian is extremely jealous of Christine. Karibjanian was unbelievably nasty to Christine. Wolf was ok, not anywhere near as bad.
Not a bad idea!
I disagree, I think she tied or lost tonite, when she needed a win.
She needed to TAKE CONTROL of the discussion tonite, and when the NPR wench wouldn’t let her, she should have DEMANDED Control.
Instead, she seemed to let the hostile moderator and Coons walk all over her.
A good, LOUD “excuse me, can I FINISH?” would have done wonders for her, and her image.
