Aren’t “strongly motivated.” voters more likely to vote, increasing voter turnout?

Yeah, that comment confused me at first - but I got his point:
O'Donnell's supporters are more motivated, and they'll vote no matter what. The smaller overall turnout would mean that a greater percentage of the voters would be from this 'motivated group'. If there was a large overall turnout, the 'motivated group' would be watered down by the shiftless sorts who had nothing better to do than to go to the voter's booth today -- and might vote for Castle because they were familiar with his name...

At least that's what I think that was his theory.
It doesn't matter - just vote and don't let the media, or other hecklers, discourage you. Man proposes but God disposes...

I hope Palin gave her some advice on how to handle that.

And it looks like Urquhart gonna pull it out!

That’s a major victory in itself...tell these other fine Freepers why THIS race is as important as the O’Donnell/Castle race.

UNITED STATES SENATOR

71 of 325 Districts Reported

REPUBLICAN PARTY
MICHAEL N. CASTLE 5194 187 5381 44 . 1 %
CHRISTINE O’DONNELL 6661 170 6831 55 . 9 %


Cool O'Donnell up by almost 12%. I'm calling it at 21.8% of the Districts reported for O'Donnell- a win.


:-0

About a third of the precincts are in.

20K votes cast.

I thought 20K was the projected TOTAL turnout.

Maybe I missed something.

From Michelle Malkin website...

Delaware is on the front-burner tonight as seven states tally up primary votes.

The DE Secretary of State page has crashed due to massive traffic.

Via Twitter, poll jockeys are reporting that Christine O’Donnell is leading Mike Castle in the DE Senate GOP primary by 55-45 with 47 percent reporting. Yowza.

CNN is already ripping her!

That means they must know something we don’t know.... i.e. exit polling.

Optimism based on knowledge.

It's a hard combination to beat. :)

11% lead, looks good

Castle should concede soon and show some class.

"136/325 Reported------------- Still 55/44 O’Donnell>

Wow, unless there's a big hold-back in New Castle County, this looks very promising for O'Donnell.

I wonder how much of her support is from those that just got sick of Castle's negativity. I have to admit, I wasn't sure who I wanted ("electability" and all that), but Castle seems a little more crappy every day.

FWIW, if Castle loses, I think the RNC may pose a bigger threat to conservatives than the ‘Rats...
