Not talking about Cullis AT ALL; that guy should not be running for Congress, maybe not even a local post - take a look at how unprofessional his site is, even moreso, his understanding of the political process. I'm not putting energy into him by any means. I think the far left is a joke, I think the tea baggers are a joke and I think the ron paulers are a joke... just an interesting race where I'd like to see a real candidate on the GOP side to make it fun to follow... then I call in my bets to Vegas.

Except I'm not sure what kind of high you might get with the Tea Party diatribe and the 9/12 ideologues. And I am really certain I don't want to find out. Because I suspect it is the 'morally superior' kind. UI, I think that Marc, and anyone investing their time and energy into Cullis, is smoking crack.

You're telling me a virtual unknown Republican in Delaware is going to come in and take statewide office against a well-funded and well-known Democrat? Really?

I think we're seeing generic Democrat vs generic Republican numbers right now. I don't think many people are engaged in the race yet. Just remember, even Christine O'Donnell got 30-something % of the vote. I’m not worried Chris. I think we’re seeing generic Democrat vs generic Republican numbers right now.

I had never heard of Cullis until about a month ago, but obviously have been familiar with Carney for years. Carney's name recognition is probably--no, certainly--much higher than the poll suggests.

As it stands, at least he is more mainstream, and at least he doesn't have his panties all bunched up over the typical conservative social hot buttons. And - as to Cullis having fun ... I can think of far better ways (that are also much less boring to the rest of us).

That's a big Republican problem, besides Mike Castle there isn't really anyone else. PPP is a decent polling organization. I don't care about the partisan nature of the poller as long as they release their internals. Please, tell us who the real candidate is.

Carney has a track record in this state. Cullis is an unknown, cocky gasbag parroting the new ultra right. He's marginalized on three fronts: * Ego tripping based on nothing. Salesmen are good at this. * Choosing to represent a fringe group * A through and complete lack of experience or expertise Read his position papers. Listen to him speak. There is no appeal, no future, and NO CONGRESSMAN here. Marc, if the numbers are a sham, they are entirely credible. Carney has a track record in this state.
