First?

Anyway, no matter what you think of O'Donnell, she must crush Chris Coons the Commiecrat. (Lots of alliteration).

2

A month ago, Castle led O'Donnell by more than that.

Things change.

3 Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

4 What kind of "pet" is Coons? A pussy?

5 I think the first poll includes a lot of Castle supporters in the denial stage who said "Coons" in frustration.  They'll come back after they lick their wounds.

6 Isn't that an overnight gain of 5%, pretty much?

7

Oh noes, Drew said the DE word!

Ah, well.

I'm not sure if I agree with Legal Insurrection's several posts about the nature of the attacks against O'Donnell.

8 OH NOESSSSSSSSS!!!!

I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids and their dog!

10

How tired am I? Google this:  battle of Camden S.C. (1780). That tired.

11 If O'Donnell does not have at least a web ad out by tonight regarding the "Pet" comment, then I truly fear for the future of the republic.

12 But Intrade has Coons up by 20%!!!!!!



Uh, wait a minute. I'm confused now....

13 O'Donnel is leading among unaffiliated voters. She only gets 71% of republicans compared to Coons who gets 84% of democrats. I think that as things cool down and castle voters eventually get behind O'Donnel this race will be in single digits - probably some time next week.

If Castle endorses O'donnel, that deficit would probably be cut in half.

14 Oh well, anything worth winning is worth fighting for anyway.

As long as we're fighting the other side and not each other- let's leave the circular firing squads to the liberals...

15 Does anyone else have the suck interwebs, this morning?

Oh, and Delaware.

17 COOOOOOONS!!!!

18 I said yesterday that if we saw the Democrat's lead drop into single digits there'd be panic at the Circle-D Ranch.

This isn't quite good enough yet, but it's going in the right direction.

19

If Castle endorses O'donnel, that deficit would probably be cut in half.

C'mon Mike and Lisa in Alaska, do the right thing, endorse, and move on. There are nice lobbyist jobs waiting...

How are we going to pretend that it's racist? And we'll have to mention masturbation, too, of course.

 

21 Oh, and O'Donnel NEEDS to make this race about the establishment. Every single ad needs to tie "pet bearded marxist" Coons to Harry Reid and the establishment in Washington.

22 Meh. She's unelectable.

Did you know she's against masturbation?  *gasp*

SHE'S AGAINST MASTURBATION, PEOPLE! THAT'S CRAZY!

Are you Tea Baggers prepared to give up your unalienable right to spank it?

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!!

Not really.

 PPP had Coons up by 16 over the weekend but two things...

1-that was pre-primary

2-it was another polling company

Given the change in circumstances and different organizations, I don't think you can make that leap.

Also, Rassmussen did a hypothetical Coons-O'Donnell run about two weeks and it had him up by the same 11 points.

24 Well now its time for all those throwing the "Vote for the most conservative candidate in the race" to put up or shut up.

25 I think out of a sense of fairness and to show how versatile we are, we should fight the Dems and each other at the same time.  Who's with me?  It's only until November 2nd.

26 Delaware is at worst likely Democrat now- jumping it all the way over to solid is just lunacy. Her trail is shorter than Hoffman in Oregon, DioGuardi in New York, and as someone else already mentioned, McMahon just two months ago. It WILL be an uphill battle because she has been defined so negatively in the primary. But not impossible. Heres NOT how to win back the other 20% of the angry Castle Republicans- constantly insulting them for their choice. You do need them now for the general. They will fall in line by ending the nastiness first and then just running her campaign as the conservative but also the outsider- per gallup if given a choice between outsider republican, elected republican, elected democrat, or outsider democrat, in 2010 Voters overwhelmingly chose the outsider republican at 45% of the total.

27 When Harry Ried says "Pet" does he mean that as a noun or a verb?

28 If O'Donnell does not have at least a web ad out by tonight regarding the "Pet" comment, then I truly fear for the future of the republic.

Posted by: JAFKIAC at September 16, 2010 11:11 AM (T3Cas)

She should bang those ads so much for the next month and a half that a Delaware voter can't think of Coons without a  leash and collar being led around by some senile gnome who looks like he smells bad.

29 Here, I'll help Ms. O'donnel Woof.

30

Does anyone else have the suck interwebs, this morning?

Windows updates f-ed up 2 computers overnight...

31 11% is maybe doable if Coons shoots himself in the foot a few times and she refrains from uttering stupid shit from now until the election.

32 Baltimore sucks on steroids.

33
Macaca!

34 Oh, and it's interesting to note that every time commentators need evidence of hard matted hair on Castle's nose, they come back to his Cap-and-Tax vote.

Now, I was on the Castle-is-electable side of the argument, but I also believe stopping the climate-fascists has to be very nearly top priority.  So I'm not at all unhappy to see that carbon taxation has become a meathook on which candidates can be eviscerated.

35 And she's up to, it looks like, $940,000 in donations over the past day and a half. Hopefully they've got a good spending plan put together sometime soon.

Still waiting for the Taiwanese animation of a furry little Coons humping Reid's leg so we can all moan and whine about how uncivilized this campaign has become.  Once we get off the floor and stop laughing.

Yes it does here but why do you say so in this thread?

42 I think we need to give this race a week or so to settle in before we know much.

Polls, polls, polls. I agree, it is too early to put much stock in any of the polls for States that just held the primaries, particularly in one in which so much in-party vitriol was spewed. 

Give it a few weeks to settle out. I also predict that as we get closer to the election the yellow cockroaches will come out of the woodwork and the races will tighten.

The key to the election is turnout. The Republicans MUST keep up the enthusiasm to get people down to the polls.

Being (partly) if Irish heritage I feel compelled to ask the classic question:

"Is this a private fight or can anybody join in?"

44

Heres NOT how to win back the other 20% of the angry Castle Republicans- constantly insulting them for their choice. You do need them now for the general.

On this thread so far no one has. It's all good--let's all move on. Yes, I know that term is so laden with baggage....

45 Hopefully they've got a good spending plan put together sometime soon.

This is actually an interesting question.  Will she try to win or simply mail it in presuming a loss and subsequently loot the campaign funds ensuring a phat private retirement fund. 

Her past record of fiscal campaign responsibility seems kinda sketchy.

46 What is this Windows Updates of which you speak?  Turn 'em off and wait for the service packs.

47 Democrat Congressman Rick Boucher is gifted a brand new car!

48 I had some very strange dreams last night..

49 No, Chris Coons will not be available for comment today.  He is very busy today.  Extremely busy.  Booked solid.

50

the key to this election is "Turn Up". We need to turn up the volume on all the democrats running away from Obamacare.

51 Send in Scott Brown.

52

Hmmm, day 18 of O'Donnel-gate and in solidarity with her I have remained the master of my domain. If you see news reports of a rampaging NJ man's demise, tell OD, I did it for her.

 

 

53

as long as everyone keeps calling Castle names I think those Castle voters will hold back ...  enough with the venom towards Castle ... 

Does anyone think his supporters will turn on a dime and support O'Donnell if all they hear from O'Donnell supporters is how Castle is such an asshole or scumbag ?  Really ???  would you ???

 

 

54 Also, Rasmussen did a hypothetical Coons-O'Donnell run about two weeks and it had him up by the same 11 points.

Yes, but that was mostly before the GOP cannibalism and mudslinging really started. I think if Ras had polled a couple of days before the primary like PPP had, it would probably show the same thing - that O'Donnel took a hit with all of the attacks and negative coverage. Likewise, if PPP did a poll today, I think it would show momentum for O'Donnel after her upset.

Of course, we'll just have to wait and see if this is momentum or not.

55 Delaware is at worst likely Democrat now- jumping it all the way over to solid is just lunacy.

You and me both brother.

59 #50 The fact that the election is fracturing the Democrats in the House is just wonderful before the tsunami. We have, what, 31 Democrats pledging to side with the GOP to keep all the tax cuts? 11 already signing on to repeal O-Care? Sure it is to save their hides, but it is very fun to watch.

60 "Delaware GOP Website Lists Mike Castle as “Our 2010 Candidate'"

61 Looney Coons : Sufferin Succotash!

62 Maybe the GOP could send her a little help rather than hanging her out to dry like they did Sarah Palin.

63

SurferDoc  ...speeks the truth. Wait for the service paks.

64 Y'know, I think you could condense the whole race into a single 15-second spot of a poodle wearing a Che sweater licking himself while Harry Reid throws Kibble at him shouting "Coons!  STOP THAT!  O'Donnell says that'll make your tongue grow hair!"

65 Anyone know what the Independent vote looks like in DE? How much of a turnout would be expected? Tie Coons to Obama through Reid.

66 Send in Scott Brown.

Posted by: eman

 

Well shit. I certainly missed that one. He'd play very well here. One photo op putting him in contrast with Coons and she could lock the two lower counties and dent NCC, both parties.

Seriously, this is a great idea.

67 I keep seeing this anti-masturbation thing being thrown at her by the MFM. So, I looked it up and Wikipedia says she's a Roman Catholic. Are they not aware that Catholics are supposed to be down on masturbation? That's actually a part of their doctrine on sexuality. So, that's not exactly an obscure view in the RCC. Are we looking to make all Catholics into freaky weirdos now? Unless she's suggested somewhere that it should be outlawed, I really don't see the problem here.

68 Rumor has it that they are going to try and minimize the marxist paper with the view of OD on sex.  There are already bloggers asking "sex versus marxism".

69 @53 Namecalling in the 48 hours following a heated primary is not so uncommon-and it has definitely been indulged in by both sides.  Lighten up on the persecution complex.

I am not all butthurt that some guy thinks I am a hack and an imbecile.  I am sure you can get over being thought a candy-ass RINO if you put a little effort into it.

70 Delaware Republican VictoryVOTE TODAY!! Send Mike Castle and Michele Rollins to Washington and take our country back!I see the DE Republican Facebook page is kept up to date. Take our country back? That is a curious choice of words for Mr Castle.

71 I'm not worried about O'Donnell's intelligence, look who Delaware has been electing to that seat for the past several years. Bright, he ain't. So it could be that in Delaware, stoopid is a virtue in a candidate.

72 #63 Coryrn's support and $42,000 , Romney's support and $5k, Palin, DeMint, and the talk radio circuit's support I would think is a good start. They aren't going to send in a full force of ground troops because thats needed for larger states (California, Washington, Colorado, Illinois)that are closer-- but thats where money really helps. $1million buys a lot of ads in a state like Delaware. Grassroots GOTV and help I think will work better there as well. Keep that going. Also someone threaten Mike Castle with a rabid raccoon. His endorsement wouldn't hurt..

73

Don't know what the updates were, just that one PC froze while shutting down (XP) and the other seized up this morning (Vista).

Dear England:

The last time your Prime Minister was here, I was criticized for the gifts I gave him. In addition, my presents to the Queen were also blasted. Now, personally, I can not think of anything better to get than an IPod loaded with all of my speeches. I find it stimulating. I also hear that Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann masterbate to those speeches on an hourly basis. However, I can understand why some shallow, hate filled inviduals who, to be honest with you, treat me like a dog, would think these were insufficient. I would like to make it up to you.

I, therefore, and deeding back to you, one of the original colonies, Delaware. Its main industry appears to be toll roads.

Dear 'Mother' England,

Before you act upon the aforementioned offer, I suggest that you consult the ghost of Lord Cornwallis, who had to surround and overwhelm the Delaware Continentals before they would surrender at Camden S.C. His colleagues might concur, citing examples at the Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Trenton ad Princeton. The ghost of one Robert E. Lee might have a word about the 'crazy' Delaware volunteers that he encountered several times, particularly at an obscure crossroads town of Gettysburg.

 

Sincerely,

Blue Hen

i'm thinking something is going on and COD will be the last to know.

85 Not wishcasting here but predicting:  O'Donnell will be within 5 points by next week at this time.  Which means she'll really be up 5 or more if the Tsunami Gap is factored in.

86 Karl Rove is the real surprise.  I always thought he was pretty much a dispassionate technician. 

87 We were told she was down 20 so she is making progress. Also it should be mentioned that the enthusiasm gap could add a few points for her that will never show up in the polls.

I disagree.  He thinks he got the shaft and he is angry about it.  He is also a professional politician who knows the "rules" for this sort of thing.

I would not read anything into the Delaware GOP website-except that the Delaware GOP is every bit as competent and on-the-ball as we have learned to expect.

93 Don't worry, another poll will come out tomorrow showing Coons at 49.9963% and O'Donnell at 12.0781%. Christine's fans will point to this as an example of "momentum."

The day after, a poll will appear showing Coons at 50.823% and O'Donnell with 11.034%, and the Castle groupies will say "see, we told you so!"

The Three Stages of Grief are 1) look at polls; 2) believe polls; and 3) live by polls.

94 wow, had no idea that Beck can go after someone like he just went after the CT AG.

He looks like such a teddie bear.....had no idea he could become so so, strident

95 The fact that Castle has been a gigantic a-hole since the results and just went to the" Limbaugh and Hannity screwed me" card means he was a Jim Jeffords waiting to happen. Win or lose- well done Delaware.

But if she wins she would have a guaranteed 4 year job with high pay and benefits PLUS whatever campaign cash she didn't spend PLUS near guaranteed paid Fox News talking head contract if she decided not to run for re-election at the end of her term PLUS paid speaking engagements PLUS whatever lobbying firms are willing to pay for her influence.

This comment has been brought to you by the book, Final Exit.

123 From Belmont Club comments: I copied this from another sites comments. I think its very interesting on the spin if this is all true. O.k. fab back up …let me answer your BS assertions (did you copy/paste them from RINO Castle’s slam site?) one at a time. I personally know Christine. One of my good friends helped run her campaign in 08 and I know the truth on EVERY one of those allegations. 1. Re: ISI. She worked for a religious organization and was demoted not because of her job performance but because the supervisors in this ultra religious organization misinterpret their Bible’s and the book of Ephesians where it says that women should submit to men. And she was demoted to have a MAN put in charge of her. The demotion was illegal and she was completely right to call them out on it. She dismissed the lawsuit about 3yrs ago, NOT because it didn’t have merit but she was prepping to run against Biden and didn’t have the time/finances to pursue it. Bottom line was, she was wronged. She had every right to sue them and ISI is lucky that she decided it was not in her best interest to seek a judgment against them. 2. Re: her college career. She DID graduate from Farleigh Dickinson University. She took the courses and walked at graduation. She did not receive the OFFICIAL diploma due to outstanding tuition. It took nearly a decade for her to pay off her college loans and by that time, they made her retake a class to update her degree. (The same thing happened to me. It is very common now a days for colleges to say certain credits have expired, even though technically you got the degree and have worked in the field for years). Unlike others in this country who defaulted on their student loans–she DID pay them herself. 3. As to pursuing a Master’s at Princeton. You are referring to a quote from her deposition in the original ISI lawsuit. She WAS looking into pursuing her masters degree and the question from the legal council was regarding her current work/education. That was her plans after the demotion, then subsequent firing when she brought forth the lawsuit. She did not, however, go forward with it. 4. Re: her home foreclosure. That is a GROSS lie. She SOLD the house in question to help pay for her 08 campaign. She received a letter with a lien against the house more than a year later when it was owned by someone else. It was verified as a computer error and Christine put the letter on her website weeks ago to counter that misrepresentation. As to the IRS, Christine, her family and at least one of her campaign staffers from her 08 bid were audited by the IRS after she ran against Biden. Let’s talk about the statistical improbability for all of those people to be suddenly audited if it hadn’t been that they were all involved in trying to defeat Biden. The IRS found through the audit that she should have owed more in 2004 (?–might have been 05) and I have heard from MANY people that if the IRS audits you, they will ALWAYS find something/somewhere where you should have paid them more. She paid that judgment and posted the IRS clearance letter on her site. 5. Re: the Tea party paying her rent. Again you are distorting facts. Please take the libtard cotton out of your ears and listen up. Christine is NOT rich. She is a single, every day working woman who sold her house in the last campaign and has used every penny she could muster to fight in Delaware politics. She now lives in a small townhouse and because she couldn’t afford an official campaign headquarters–it was run out of rooms from her house. Because of staffers taking up half her living residence, it was determined she could use part of the tea party money as “rent” to her for space in her home for the headquarters. MANY people across this country use part of their house as a business office. (I work as a cardiac consultant from my home and I write off my home office space on my taxes) It is perfectly legal and was the best use of campaign dollars as opposed to her paying a fortune to rent space (which as the campaign has now grown, she will have to do) Fab, you do nothing but regurgitate the same libtard/RINO bogus allegations that have already been proven false. Your pursuit of sounding intelligent and superior is one big epic fail

124 Heh. Six months ago the MFM and the Democrats (Republicans too, behind closed doors) were laughing at the Teaparty. Who is laughing now, muthafukka?

125

Some of the gag comments here have underscored a very serious window of vulnerability. She needs to get someone in charge of her finances and be ready to flatten the first smear piece regarding campaing funding.

Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark on Chris R's ass.

Speaking of ass, where is Inez? I need some pictures of ass!

127 The fund raising boost is irrelevant as an indicator of potential success, unless all the money is coming from DE.  Stating O'Donnell's fundraising numbers is roughly akin to telling us how much Alvin Greene raised.

Or how much Scott Brown raised. That campaign was financed by Morons and others across the country. Brown still had to do the heavy lifting in Mass. But he showed everyone that he was alive by raising that cash. That showed voters that others thought him o have a chance. Money breeds money. Success breeds success.

133

The best way for O'Donnell to win is to discourage her base by painting Coons as a radical loon.

Unfortunatly thats also the best way for Coons to win the election.

Thank s Karl...

Something along the lines of (Thanks to133):  "I was working out of my home, using it as an election office.  The same way many people work at home and use that as a tax write off.  That was my occupation at that time.  If there was any issue with that, you should take it up with the hundreds of people who also work out of their home." 

Just off the top of my head.

135 Well, O'Donnell has at least 3 votes in DE. My in-laws all live there, and I already have started bugging them about the vote (they are normally apolitical and did not vote in the primary). They like me, and I am so charming that they will vote as I ask them to.

136 "She needs to get someone in charge of her finances and be ready to flatten the first smear piece regarding campaing funding."

May I suggest George Soro's?

Yes, that and how all these new monies are being handled. The Belmont Club stuf is great. If true, then she posted more documentation than Obama did to be President.

138 So Castle has talked to Obama and Biden but has not called O'Donnell? WTF

139 "I am so charming that they will vote as I ask them to." Wow. Maybe YOU should be a senator. Or president!

140 Money is irrelevant.

This is where John Cornyn can really earn some goodwill with the Tea Party crowd. 

He gave the press release saying he supported her he can also allow her access to the NRSC's resources as well (not just money)..  Maybe an adviser on legal issues.  Advice on organizing on a larger basis.  Records of how many republicans voted in past years and phone numbers.   

She's on their team now.  She made the cut.   He needs  to make the best of the situation. 

142

Drew - an interesting theme has emerged in your moth to flame approach to the O'Donnell primary win, a win which speaks volumes of the tea party and voter dynamic that is surfacing across the nation. 

Yet, despite the tea party influence and its historic presence, you continue to unload scatter shot at the non-pro RINO faction by attempting to laugh up your sleeve at O'Donnell, as you portray yourself as the sole purveyor of logical opinion, writing from The Most Venerable Order of Drew House.  While you may think of yourself as the noble, don't forget that Ace owns the land . . .  Noblesse oblige.  

This will save you a lot of embarassment and backtracking on a conservative site . . . because when the conservatives win . . . there's no way you'll be able to reverse engineer your drivel into a logical conclusion.

Ponder nobel Drew:

On Janaury 10, 2010, the Boston Globe, et al had Martha Coakley up by 15 points over Scott Brown . . . in a special election to complete Ed Kennedy's term, in a seat Mr. Kennedy he held for 47 years in a Royal Blue State called Massachusetts.   

Perhaps you could remind the faithful of the Brown race?  Or does the moth want to continue to talk about the support O'Donnell must be getting from Rush and Sean? 

    

143 31 If Castle had won, we wouldn't need to be sweatin' this at all and we could be focusing our attention on races which are just as winnable, like CT or even NY.

That's how you play to win the game, to quote good old Herm Edwards.

144 The cat was my first wife's flo indicator. If she was nice to the cat everything would be calm that time of the month. If she was mean to the cat I usualy had to watch the game at a friends house.

Herm's career coaching record:  54-74

149 If I have told you once I have told you a thousand times "The Nile" is a river in Egypt. Denial is treying to hold on to the 'Good Ole Boy" washington as usual.

150 If Castle had won, we wouldn't need to be sweatin' this at all and we could be focusing our attention on races which are just as winnable, like CT or even NY.

But he didn't.  Take it up with the voters of Delaware, or with Mike Castle.

Bingo.

If Castle had "played to win the game" then he and thus the party WOULD HAVE won the frigging game. Standing on the sidelines playing grab-ass and proving that you breathe does not advance the ball.

Holy crap. She reached a Million dollars in two days. And she started with what, $80,000?

159 Two days in, and Coons can now officially start typecasting her as an elitest, out-of-touch millionaire...

160 50k was the original goal.

Posted by: toby928

 

Nice. It's a start. I heard that she had something like $80,000 on hand before the moneybomb. She's drawing cash and Sarah. Coons is drawing.. a trip to the vet courtesy of Harry Reid.

161 Only 11%!  As Thomas Jefferson said, Holy Shit!  We just might pull thise one off, morons.

162

Personally, I think it would've been neat if she'd left her original donation goal of $50,000 standing on the site.

While it is daunting for the opposition to see her raise (and meet) goal after endless goal, what do you think the "optics" of seeing a realistic, responsible goal get exceeded by 2000%?

Which scenario portrays a groundswell of overwhelming support better?  Honest question.

This is actually an interesting question.  Will she try to win or simply mail it in presuming a loss and subsequently loot the campaign funds ensuring a phat private retirement fund. 

Her past record of fiscal campaign responsibility seems kinda sketchy.

 

If she really is a corrupt little peanut who is just in it for the money, why on earth wouldn't she try to make it to the Senate?  For someone like that, the Senate is practically Mecca.

I'm sure that they know, but your point is apt. One hopes that the local GOP knows. Last time I checked, the state website did not list her as their candidate.

Beautiful!! If AoSHQ was allowed to produce one commercial for COD, this should be it!!

168 I believe that the full, unabridged quote from Jefferson was, "In these trying times of uncertainty which surround and evnvelop our newborn nation, we must seek to...wait, wait...is that John Jay in the back of the room?  Holy Shit!  We just might pull thise one off, morons!"

169

setting: vet's waiting room.

camera perspective: Obviously a dog's eye view.

Narration: man's voice, which we gradually realize is that of the dog, named Chris.

1. Dog (a kick-me-type little dog) is led into the exam room, and looks up into the face of the vet, whom we recognize as Harry Reid.

Reid: now aren't you a cute li'l fella? Of course to be of any use, you have to be altered to fit in.

2. The implications of this become apparant, as the scene cuts back to the waiting room, where everyone looks up at the sound of a long, anguished howl.

3. We realize that one of the people in the waiting room is Christine, with a labrador.

COD: I realize that such treatment just isn't right; let's leave.

Cut to: COD and the dog happily leaving.

170

BH - It would be an excellent commercial indeed.  The whole thing could be in the style of those Beggin' Strips commercials, complete with the dog-nose POV.

Which ending to use, though?

1)  Vet looks into the camera, "Are you ready?"  Brandishes a set of tiny scissors as screeching violins suddenly fill the audio.

2)  Halfway through the commercial, you start to see spittle and foam coming from the dog-nose.  Vet looks sympathetically at the camera, offers some sort of reassuring platitude, and solemnly fills a syringe.  Blur, fade to black.

171 Eh, you beat me to scripting it, BH.  You win this time!

< Of course, the tea party nexus doesn't exist and of course the issue of momentum against establishment doesn't exist.  The take away genius of smart, is that polls don't really matter . . . and thus, for you to post here, in the land of Ace, a poll of inconsequence against the broader story of voter insolence against the establishment in, albeit a DE primary, then you are engaged in frivolity in your moth to flame theme of ha, ha O'Donnell.

You know exactly what you are doing, you are as transparent as cellophane.

Now go on and write your next story on how O'Donnell's money is inorganic vs. the "organic" money that could have been secured by Castle . . . if only Castle had won.
