A University of Delaware poll released Wednesday showed Christine O'Donnell trailing Democrat Chris Coons by 19 points. And a Fairleigh-Dickinson University poll showed Coons up 53 percent to 36 percent.
What I love even more than O'Donnell trailing by a huge margin, is both polls showed Coons with a substantial advantage among Independents. I really believe we aren't giving the voters much credit to think for themselves. I'm guilty of accusing voters of being lazy and dumb sheeple, but this poll is good news for us and bad news for teabagger candidates. Only 25% of Independents nationwide have a positive opinion of the teabagger movement according to the latest NBC/WSJ poll. More than half have a negative impression of Sarah barracuda Palin! So what are we afraid of? NOTHING! It's the wingnuts who call us afraid, they want us to be afraid. Their future depends on it!
Did you see Rachel Maddow show live in Newark, Delaware last night? Wish I had been there, just around 20 minutes from my home!
Rachel and crew tried in vain to get an interview with Christine O'Donnell, but no such luck. In fact Rachel was thrown out of O'Donnells campaign headquarters!
Maddow said "they were greeted nicely by what appeared to be two junior staffers" but were "then insulted by a senior staffer" and left the building. Next, she said, "an angry guy followed them out and told us loudly that we all had to leave the premises and not come back." Maddow continued: Other than that incident she loved Delaware!
Remember, O'Donnell did tell Sean Hannity she would focus on local media, so it's no surprise she would avoid Rachel. Surely she could not truthfully answer any questions from Rachel, afterall the voters in Delaware must be kept in the dark. These teabagger candidates, every single one of them, have avoided any and all national media, avoid all the tough questions, yet ask you the voter to support them in November. They are a national joke.
Last I heard O'Donnell will debate Coons on October 13th. I look forward to the reason for cancelling from the O'Donnell HQ!
