O'Donnell Leads Castle in Delaware GOP Senate Primary in Recent Poll
« on: September 13, 2010, 09:43:59 AM »

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/de/delaware_senate_republican_primary-1697.html


Polling Data
 O'Donnell (R) 47 Castle (R) 44   Spread +3

PPP (D) Poll Date: 9/11 - 9/12 Sample : 668 LV


--------------

Frankly I'd rather have a Dem than a Rino (Castle). It's a LOT harder to get rid of a Rino.

But I'd still take a bet that if O'Donnell wins the primary tomorrow, that she can beat Coons, although it's the %&$&*%$%^$%^$ National GOP that has done the most damage to her. It's crap like that that convinces me that Steele has to go.

Still, Rasmussen showed Castle winning in a matchup with Coons in early Sept, and O'Donnell losing--but I'd bet money on O'Donnell, given, say, 2:1 odds:


September 2, 2010

 Mike Castle (R) 48%
 Chris Coons (D) 37%
 Some Other Candidate 6%
 Not Sure 9%



 

 Christine O’Donnell (R) 36%
 Chris Coons (D) 47%
 Some Other Candidate 8%
 Not Sure  9%



So we have "not sure" at 9%, and a really strange swing around the Dem of 22%. A lot of that has to be Republicans who favor Castle now (for whatever uninformed, propagandized reason) who will "come home" for the general. I don't buy the bullshit AT ALL that "only Castle can win." And as I said, even if that's the case, he's worthless.

I was just looking at the RedState site.  If Castle wins, they fully intend to support him.  Even a RINO is preferable to a Dem--particularly a RINO who (apparently) has said that he would vote to repeal ObamaCare.

ObamaCare will never be repealed until after -- maybe -- Lord Zero is shitcanned in 2012. Even then, it'll be "replaced" by something only marginally less offensive.

I'm afraid we're stuck with federally-applied health care.  :whatever:

But I don't wanna de-rail the thread. Please carry on.

Oh well. That is a good point.


-------------

BlueStateSaint, true, we can't successfully repeal Obamacare until we're rid of the Traitor-in-Chief, but if Republicans can take the Senate--a big "if"--they can sure as hell pass repeal, and force him to veto it. They can use reconciliation to repeal, just as the Dems did to pass. And they should, to force Obama to be on record as still thwarting the overwhelming majority will of the electorate. And of course, there isn't a thing the Dems could say against the use of recociliation for this one particular law.

Anyway, I wonder if we could trust Rinos to go along with that?

You know Tess, I agree with you. Even if we lose the general, the lesson to the Republican establishment should be: put your weight behind conservatives, not nearly worthless Rinos, and that's a lesson worth losing one seat, if it turns out that way. They'll probably say conservatives should take the opposite lesson--to support whomever their dear lRino leaders say they should support--but they'd better understand that there's exactly ZERO chance of that.

Yeah that!  The chances of actually gaining the Senate are fairly remote, unless the Dems step on it even more big time than they have already in the next seven weeks, so while more is better, it's also important that the GOP receive a message that it isn't business as usual as long as get far enough in the Senate to have a clean and reliable filibuster (Not counting McCain, Snow, etc. as 'Reliable'). 

With a far left Democrat party, starting with your own guys in the middle and feeling squishy goodness about their own bipartisan moderation is a sure recipe to end up somewhere in the middle of the LEFT of the spectrum nationally when the smoke clears.

From the eggheads at the Washington Post...

Marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell upset Rep. Mike Castle  in the Delaware Republican Senate primary tonight, handing the tea party movement a major victory and giving Democrats an unexpected chance to hold the First State seat.

The O'Donnell victory, which was considered a political impossibility as recently as a month ago, is a major boost for Democratic hopes of holding the seat once held by Vice President Joe Biden. New Castle County Executive Chris Coons was unchallenged for the Democratic Senate nomination.

So she came from behind to upset the GOP establishment pick, and that means she doesn't have a chance against the Demonrat candidate? 

A few more like this and maybe the GOP rulers will get the hint.

The DUmmies are already talking about ways to bring her down.  I'm not worried about them since they are contained on the island, but I'm sure the Dems already have their attack dogs in the MSM at work.

Not according to Fox and Friends this morning.

It is so wrong for the RNC to not support her. They either support her, or they support the Dems.  :censored:
