    Waaaah….Charlie hurt my feewings….so I hate him!

  2. Jerry says:

    Those numbers are promising.

  3. jason330 says:

    This week we’ve had both “Jack Carney” and “John Markell.”

    That is some kind of synchronicity.

  4. jason330 says:

    The one that stands out to me is that KHN number. I find it impossible to fathom that 65% of Delawareans still think Castle should be representing us in Congress.

    I’m floored by that figure. I was going to do a post about KHN’s over/under going up to 44% after this week’s media performance.

  5. Unstable Isotope says:

    So, it looks like a contest. Who gets the lowest percentage total – Bill Lee, Karen Hartley-Nagle or Christine O’Donnell?

    I’ll put my bet on Bill Lee. KHN will outperform because it’s a Democratic year and O’Donnell might make some headway because Joe Biden is also running for VP.

  6. jason330 says:

    Crosstabs:

    Moderates

      McCain: 31.7%  Obama 63.4%

    Awesome!

  7. Question says:

    Not really challenging the numbers here, but did anyone else note the 58-42 margin of women polled v. men?

  8. jason330 says:

    I missed that, but it is even more bad news for KHN since women are supposed to be strong suit for her.

  9. Al Mascitti says:

    Jason: Now you know why she can’t attract any money — she’s not bringing anything to the table beyond what any random Democrat would. Getting your message across (tying Castle to Bush) would require several hundred thousand dollars, and she can’t raise it because she’s never run a winning campaign even at the local level.

    I would have voted for K H-N were it not for her OP-ED in TNJ, prattling on about “loose nukes and terrorists”. Does she really expect to attract and keep antiwar voters by invoking republican hobgoblins.
