“Hmmm...wish I could find a link to Scott Brown’s poll number prior to the election...I have hope for her and for Delaware. She tried the “cute, innocent” thing and it didn’t work.”

Here is the RCP average:

As of 15 days before the election, Scott Brown trailed Coakely by 9, 50-41 in the Rasmussen poll. Christine O’Donnell finds herself in nearly the precise same spot, with 18 days before the election she finds herself trailing Coons by 11, 51-40.

The only differences are:

A)Delaware is significantly more conservative than Massachusetts (only 21% self identified liberals as opposed to 28% in Massachusetts)

B)Christine O’Donnells has a boatload of money to spend on last minute ads; and

C) Christine O’Donnell is a far, far better candidate than Rocky Ra”Coons”. Brown was a better candidate than Coakley but not as much. COD managed to defeat Coons in the debate with Wolfie Blitzer and the Delaware NPR commissar trying to bail him out and to attack her.

Yeah, except Scott Brown is more comparable to Castle, ideologically speaking. Scott Brown also had a career/record in office. Apples and oranges.

The libs are completely downplaying her youth, telegenic nature, vote getting ability, and intangibles. If a Democrat had these qualities, they would be touted in the media as invincible. Rove and the Dems are setting the tone and carrying a terrible candidate's water.

When Rove comes on Hannity, my radio goes off. Some architect. He helped give us this mess of the last two years.
