Coons Headed for Big Win


A new Monmouth University poll in Delaware shows Chris Coons (D) with a 19 point lead over Christine O'Donnell (R), 57% to 38%, in Delaware's U.S. Senate race among likely voters.

It also shows Coons peeling off a huge number of supporters of O'Donnell's primary opponent, Rep. Mike Castle (R).

"Delaware voters' opinion of O'Donnell is in sharp contrast to their view of her GOP primary opponent, outgoing Congressman Mike Castle. Likely Delaware voters give Castle a positive 56% favorable to 29% unfavorable rating. Among that group of voters with a favorable opinion of Castle, most say they intend to vote for Coons (74%) rather than O'Donnell (20%)."

1. that the hell is wrong with the 38 percent?

In my lifetime, the once great republican party has gone from
"I am not a crook",
to
"I am not a witch".

Angle Raises "Eye-Popping" $14 Million in Third


The Fix reports that Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R), who has been locked in a tight race with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) for weeks, "raised an eye-popping $14 million between July 1 and Sept. 30... a stunning number that far eclipses the cash-collection totals of other prominent candidates seeking Senate seats next month."

Context: "Reid has yet to release his third quarter fundraising totals but as of mid-summer he had collected just short of $14 million so far in 2010... The Nevada Republican's showing is only bested in modern memory by the $14.2 million Scott Brown raised in January 2010 in advance of his Massachusetts Senate special election victory."

4. Gosh, all of Christine's free publicity isn't making a dent in Coons' lead

Thankfully, the good folks at the major networks keep flogging her candidacy, so there's a possibility she could break 40% on election day. After being returned to obscurity, I'm sure we'll be treated to the spectacle of Christine O'Donnell popping up all over the cable channels to offer her deathless commentary on the issues of the day.

5. Please, we've had our fun

Can we leave the poor Wiccans out of this? Prissy Chrissy probably imagined the whole silly scene, just to be an attention whore on Bill Mahre's show.
