Coons (D) - O'Donnell (R) Debate thread 7:30pm EDT CNN .

[LostInBayport]

I am encouraging everyone I know to vote for COD but she is unlikely to make it in DE.

She exceeded expectations in this debate...the next round of polling may bring some renewed vigor to the race!

[JaguarXKE]

I see two Republicans on that donation list - Castle and McCain! Figures!

[RedMDer]

She did great! November!

[jackv]

Well... I watched the whole thing and thought COD did very VERY well. Have no idea what you reference as "terrible" and "not intellectually deep".

What an elitist comment.

[The Bronze Titan]

"..lot of people decide on nothing more than that"

That's why the country is in the shitty mess that we're in now.

6. I am encouraging everyone I know to vote for COD but she is unlikely to make it in DE. Whether you care about this or not, Castle would have crushed Coons and given the GOP an immediate +1 pickup.

No, the GOP would have gotten another RINO like Jeffords and Spector and Collins and Snowe. Do you live in Delaware?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I watched this debate unsure of what I would hear.

And I leave impressed with O’Donnell’s core principles.

To all my Delware friends .... please vote for O’Donnell ... and get out there and help her win.

Her victory is a necessary step in returning America to the rule of law we embrace under the Constitution.

Godspeed.

She was asked if there were any recent ones she disagreed with and drew a blank. That's different than not knowing about any recent decisions. A minor stumble.

[rurgan]

I couldn’t think of any until later, not off the top of my head. you are a liberal.

I think she did great over all.

1. I’m glad Christine isn’t a polished same old, same old politician. She’s human, imagine that!

2. I don’t care if her speeches are memorized or not; she’s not running to be a speech-memorizer. Her message is what is important.

3. Her ideas and beliefs are what count as a not-yet Senator, not her ability to be a walking Encyclopedia. Just about anybody can look stuff up, but not just any political contender can recognize and be willing to tackle the problems we face as Americans.

4. I don’t live in Delaware and can’t vote for her, but I *can* send her another donation! Hope lots of others do too.

[hotshu]

She may be “takin’ one for the the team” but she’s sure inflicting some heavy casualties while/ if going down,

Even including forgetting the Kelo decision, I give her a 94-06 score.

[maica]

Castle would have beaten Coons, but then for six years would have voted like Snowe and Collins, enabling the dems to crow about “bipartisan support.”

[TonyInOhio]

Whether you care about this or not, Castle would have crushed Coons and given the GOP an immediate +1 pickup.

Maybe, but then again, he lost. Isn't that why we have primaries?

Honestly, we (the Conservative movement) are better off with Coons in that seat than Mike Castle. Let the dividing line be sharp and clear; enough of the RINO party.

[ScottinVA]

She did as well as she could... too bad on the SCOTUS question, but even the best of us can vapor-lock from time to time.

It’ll be interesting to see how/if future polling reflects the debate. Of course, the talking heads on CNN will likely have a pre-recorded conclusion that Coons won.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Just thought this was so good it needed to be reposted.

One real stumble in a 90-minute debate against two miserable leftists and a seemingly stoned Wolf Blitzer. Not bad at ALL.

[mrsmith]

“1. No one is watching the debate.”

Hope some influential voters (like you) are.
She done good and lots of voters trust the opinions of “political nerds” for such judgements.
She HAS got a long way to go in a short time though.

[Fishtalk]

If mileage varies much from your assessment than they weren't watching the same debate as me.

Hey, Coons presented himself as what he is, pure, simple, plain and right in front of my lying eyes. Love how she got the PET and BEARDED MARXIST IN.

O'Donnell did great. She's a great speaker, has been since I knowed her in 2005.

And just for the hellofit....my pics below

Kaitln, ME and Christine, back in 2005!

1. No one is watching the debate.

I disagree. I'm way out in New Mexico and would have crawled over broken glass to watch this! Several of my friends were chomping at the bit to see it too! The Delaware online web site where it was being streamed was getting hammered!

[jackv]

YES!!! We’re looking for quality while others just want quantity.
