Who will become the next Senator from Delaware?

[Meeker]

People start to say crazy and stupid things as we get closer to the general election. Happened in 2008 and 2006 as well. I'll just be happy when it's all over in 46 days.

Also: Blue avatar from me for a year if she wins.

Also, for those touting the fundraising, raising $800,000 in one day still means she lags Coons in CoH.

Not for long.

Because there's no way Chris Coons is raising any money at a time like this!

Not when every "progressive" activist is declaring he has the race in the bag and therefore needs no help whatsoever.  Hence why he only raised $40000 yesterday to O'Donnell's $800000.

I can assure you that at the end of Q3 Chris Coons will have both raised more money and have more CoH than Christine O'Donnell. Bump this thread in a few weeks.

Oh she may out raise him in Q3 (may). I was referring to overall fundraising.

Listen, I think Christine O'Donnell is a tool just like the rest of you Democrats, but don't be blind to what's going on here. It's clear that Tea Partiers are going to FLOOD her with money to an unbelievable point. Why?

Because the establishment just told the Tea Party to fuck themselves. The Tea Party is more and more in the business of sticking it to the establishment. Forget Angle, Buck, Miller, and any of the other previous Tea Party celebrities. O'Donnell is the new one, and like the adage says, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

You're blind if you think O'Donnell's going to hurt for money. They're going to give and give. She's the new celebrity. She's the alpha and the omega. And she's going to use every cent she can for her own personal expenses.

I never said she'd be hurting for money. I just don't think Coons will be either.

O'Donnell's money is coming in very quickly from Tea Party people who are really excited. Coons' money will trickle in from old guys in New York and the D.C. suburbs who want to give him money now that he's going to be a Senator.

[Meeker]

There are a lot of people who are going to want to stick it to the establishment, and will thus vote for people they wouldn't otherwise vote for.

Why are these people lying to pollsters and saying a) they hate that candidate and b) aren't voting for her?

Turn out

Do you understand that these polls already take a massive Republican turnout into account?

The type of turnout you're talking about only happens in Atlas Fantasy Timelines.

There are also dozens of examples of races where you would have predicted a certain candidate to win several months out based on polling and then, hey, they actually did win!
