Comments on: The Top Races http://www.delawareliberal.net/2008/11/05/the-top-races/ Ground zero for all things political in Delaware Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:46:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: liberalgeek http://www.delawareliberal.net/2008/11/05/the-top-races/comment-page-1/#comment-75229 liberalgeek Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:23:48 +0000 http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=7547#comment-75229 I suspect that the counter argument would be that the accusations did not make it into the minds of the electorate. We all know about it, but we breathe the news. If Action News had done a story on it or The NJ had done an investigative report, I suspect people might have looked beyond party for that one race, as many of my friends did.

I realize some people that post here think she is not a decent person,but that is not the point I am trying to make. I am saying what made her unlikeable to the people who attacked may have made her a more sympathetic candidate to some voters who had similar experiences. AND if her opponents had not brought this issue out so vehemently, these voters would not have even known they shared this experience with her . I am not making a delcaration, just raising a possibility.
