Donate to Chris Coons
Only 12% of eligible Democrats voted today, so in a way we are starting from a standing start. O”Donnell, meanwhile, just hit the momentum jackpot.
We need to not be seen counting chickens.
Donate to Chris Coons today, tomorrow, and every one of these 48 days until election day.
NRSC Pulls Out of Delaware
The National Republican Party will not be supporting Christine O’Donnell in any way. Financially, or with boots on the ground. They have basically just told her to go f*ck herself. Alas, she is against such forms of self lust, so I guess she is SOL.
Republican aides told Fox News [...]
Meet The Californians Who pulled off the Delaware Coup d’état
As a Democrat I am naturally happy about O’Donnell kicking Castle’s ass, but as a Delawarean – I’m a little upset that Californians can come in and create such mischief in our elections. Further more, I’m a little confused as to why our local media so incurious about the shady profiteers behind the Tea Party Express. Luckily…

What Passes for ‘Mainstream’ Political Commentary…May Well Pass
Could Celia Cohen possibly have been any less prescient than this? In this piece, the duPont Dormouse ridicules bloggers just like…herself. BTW, this was written on Sept. 7, not some time in July.
Just a couple of lowlights:
The clatter from the Tea Party Express could be taken a lot more seriously if it had managed [...]
Urkel Wins.
Hello Congressman Carney. Urquhart pulls off the nailbiter, 48.6 to 47.7. And now there is no chance that Castle will slip back into his old race. Rumors were that if Rollins won but Castle did not, she would withdraw and the state committee would appoint Castle. Not happening now. [...]

O’Donnell is Going to Win
Most of Eastern Sussex is still out. Most of New Castle County is in. The results have been taken off the screen at Castle HQ, a la McCain 2008. It is over. Christine O’Whackjob looks like she will win. The DE GOP has died. 1854–2010. [...]

Tuesday’s Asshat of the Day
Today’s award goes to those fantastic people over at ResistNet.com, who are some of the most wingnutty of the wingnuts out there. If you visit their website, check out the Delaware page.
Anyway, I guess they were trying to be humorous when they created this video. It just shows how idiotic and just plain [...]
Castle Is Optimistic
The Delaware GOP believes they have halted Christine O’Donnell’s momentum and that Castle’s margin is anywhere from 4-12 depending on turnout.

Live Lies
So I have spent the last hour observing the #DESen hash tag on Twitter. Wooo boy. My brain requires a bleach cleansing. These teabaggers lie so frequently and so brazenly that you literally cannot keep up. Watching that feed was like watching a digital reenactment of someone throwing everything but the kitchen sink against the wall to see what stuck.

Voting Thread
For the first time in well, ever, I did not vote first thing this morning. I had an early appointment in Philly at 7:30, and could not wait around by my polling place until 7 am for them to open (which is what I usually do). I like voting early. First, I [...]

Republican Referendum Tomorrow
So PPP’s poll does not synch up with Castle’s poll. Well, we all know that in the end there is only one poll that matters and that is being held tomorrow. But what will Republicans really be voting on?
