30 days ago, before the multi million RNC directed smear job started, O’Donnel and Coons were tied in this SAME poll. If they can move the polls that much in 30 days, they can move them back the same way in 45 AFTER the primary.
Rather then spend all their time cheer-leading for the next Specter-Jeffords-Chaffe traitor in waiting, they should be getting behind the only real Republican in this race.
The only problem with your scenario is that what they say about O’Donnell is true. She’s ethically challenged and the Dems will beat her to death with it in the general election.
You don't have any evidence of this, so why do you keep repeating it?

No they weren’t, and you’ve been corrected on this “misstatement” several times now. The August poll and the September poll are about the same. The July poll was more favorable to o’Donnell, and then the support began to melt away.
She isn’t making up the lost ground, and considering it’s Delaware there isn’t much cause to think she will.
Try being less deceptive.
The problem is that the only real Republican (as opposed to RINO) in the race is a serial liar who has never done anything that would make one think that she could be a U.S. Senator. Am I pissed that the only two candidates are Castle and O’Donnell? Of course. But giving the nomination to O’Donnell will accomplish nothing other than pay for O’Donnell’s back rent and send a liberal Democrat to the Senate for the next 30 years.
Conservatives lost this seat when the filing deadline ended and no conservative with the potential to win a general election ran fo rthe office. We now have to choose between (i) a RINO who will almost certainly win the general but will only vote with us 52% of the time and (ii) a conservative who, to our dismay, would embarass the GOP, set back the cause of conservatism for years and lose by double digits to a liberal Democrat.
Given the lemons we’ve been given, we should be prepared to make some lemonade: hold our noses and elect Castle to the Senate, but elect young conservatives to other offices downballot, and have one (and, hopefully, only one, so as not to split the conservative vote) of those young conservatives run against Castle in the 2014 Senate primary (by which time they would have raised their profile and proven their mettle).
It seems that many forget that FR is a conservative forum; not a Republican one.
