Most polls have predicted that the closely watched Delaware Senate race between Democrat Chris Coons and Republican tea-party favorite Christine O’Donnell 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 state’s 41 representative districts showed “lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than we’re comfortable with.”

A few hours ago Christine was trading @ $7 / share on intrade. Now she's up to $15 / share. Biggest jump (more than 100%) on any political race/outcome on intrade today, thus far.

In three hours I will be at the polling place voting for Pat Toomey to replace Arlen Specter in the United States Senate. Senator Pat Toomey sounds good, but for me Senator Sharron Angle sounds even better. The more I learn about her, the more I realize that she will be a force willing to say NO just like Senator Jesse Helms would when the RINO's pushed their agenda in the Senate back in the 1980's. A rising tide lifts all boats and it looks the tide is very high. I've been convinced of an 80 seat House gain for...

Chris Coons has more than a passing connection to a company called Gore-Tex, which started out manufacturing innovative textiles, but has moved into the green market with its filtration systems. As the son-in-law of the current CEO, and former lobbyist for Gore-Tex, Chris Coons is keenly aware of the millions of dollars this company (of which he owns stock) will make by passing cap and trade,

Bias: Caught with their mikes and mouths open, people at an Alaskan TV station say they were only joking about making up stories about the GOP Senate candidate. Sarah Palin's not laughing, and neither are we. Like methane bubbling up from the bottom of a swamp, every so often we get glimpses of the overwhelming liberal bias that dominates America's newsrooms, nationally and locally. Such was the case when a call from Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA to the Joe Miller campaign failed to disconnect and some revelatory comments were recorded. KTVA general manager Jerry Bever acknowledged in a statement that...

Christine O'Donnell tweeted about Delaware Channel 28 forgetting two times to air her 24 minute mega ad. She claimed she was told the station "forgot." Channel 28 executive producer Tim Qualls claims they didn't receive the tape in time to air the ad. Tim Qualls also said he was a Republican who planned to vote for O'Donnell until the ad controversy. He said he is a Republican and had planned to vote for O'Donnell, but the tape situation changed his mind. "She's lost my vote," Qualls said. Qualls does his own show on Channel 28 called 'The Tim Qualls Show.'...

Yup, the guys at Freedomist and The Conservative Journal continue to imply that an O'Donnell win is not all that unlikely. They say that all these polls that show her trailing by double digits, are using outdated poll assumptions and inaccurate numbers.. Read for yourself. As the saying goes, 'We report...you decide'! The invincible juggernaut, Chris Coons, in the Delaware Senate Race may be more vulnerable to a Christine O’Donnell win in tomorrow’s special Delaware Election than previously thought. A number of factors reveal the polls being publicized may be based on outdated assumptions about the voter make-up that will...

Following on the heels of the humiliating half-full arena with thousands of empty seats he shared yesterday in Cleveland with Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden this evening made his final 2010 campaign appearance in his home state of Delaware to a paltry crowd of 200.The AP reported on the rally:Biden headlined a Democratic rally in downtown Wilmington on Monday evening that drew about 200 people. In contrast, the Delaware News Journal reported that Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell headlined a Tea Party Express rally also in Wilmington on Halloween that drew 1,000 people--five times the number Biden attracted the...

O'Donnell has trouble airing 30-minute TV ad in Delaware By Philip Rucker Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, November 1, 2010; 11:12 AM Christine O'Donnell is taking a page from the playbook of Barack Obama. The Republican Senate candidate has produced a 30-minute television advertisement in the form of a documentary chronicling her connection with the people of Delaware. But unlike Obama's ad at the end of the 2008 race, the tea party insurgent's campaign has run into obstacles getting it in front of voters before Election Day. The campaign did not purchase advance time on networks in the Philadelphia or...

At last week’s revved-up Anchorage rally for Joe Miller I spoke to the independent, inspired crowd about the need to change Washington so Alaska can finally develop our natural resources to help secure the union. In the discussion, of course, the fact was made that our strategic location on the globe is key to resource development, military security, and transportation and shipping lanes boosting export opportunities, etc. And naturally I included a riff on the fact that you can actually see Russia from Alaska, because apparently only Alaskans know it’s true. Anyway, my good buddies throughout the state continue...

O’Donnell Buys 30-Minute Spots in Final Days By Christina Bellantoni Roll Call Staff Oct. 31, 2010, 7:03 p.m. WILMINGTON, Del. — Christine O’Donnell’s GOP Senate campaign is buying three 30-minute television ads for the final stretch, she announced Sunday at a Tea Party Express rally, where she insisted that the race is closer than it seems. She has purchased the three ads, to air Sunday night and at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, with the financial help of the tea party movement to showcase stories she hears on the campaign trail. “Tell everyone to tune in,” she said. Such...

Sarah Palin was a (in person!) guest on Fox News Sunday today, something many of you are likely aware of since she devoted some of the segment to repeating her "corrupt bastards" remark that's been making all the headlines this morning. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Full interview after the jump....frpa

Christine O'Donnell narrows gap...

www.MeetChrisCoons.com Do you believe America is headed in the right direction? Chris Coons has boasted that he will “rubber stamp” the current agenda of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Do you like America’s direction? Now you decide. Delaware faces a simple question. Do voters agree with Christine O'Donnell that….? o America’s budget deficits are out of control at over a trillion dollars a year. Elite insiders of both parties have been to blame. No more excuses. Period. o Soaring interest payments on government debt threaten to spiral out of control and cripple our future. We are headed toward national bankruptcy....

Democrat candidate for US Senate Chris Coons needs to explain why many employees working for him claim Coons politically retaliated against them for supporting political opponents. Coons is facing Republican nominee Christine O’Donnell November 2 for the US Senate seat previously held by Joe Biden. Can voters trust Chris Coons to respect their political rights in the U.S. Senate? Or will Coons trample on the public’s rights in the same way he trampled on his own employees? These three lawsuits involve Coons’ record on the job as a politician. There is absolutely nothing personal involved. Coons has told us to...

Wilmington, Delaware (October 31, 2010) – Chris Coons lied to the voters of New Castle County before, by promising not to raise taxes, and now US Senate candidate Chris Coons is caught lying to Delaware voters again. These lies are easy to see and expose. COONS’ LIE: In campaign material on the internet and elsewhere listed as paid for by “Chris Coons for Delaware,” Chris Coons makes several false claims to Delaware voters about Republican Nominee for US Senate Christine O’Donnell: https://secure.democratsenators.org/o/59/donate_page/odonnell?gclid=CJfHqYqP96QCFUmA5QodUGlGig COONS’ LIE: O’Donnell wants to open our coastlines to more dangerous off-shore drilling risks.
