Coons Named One of the Freshmen to Watch

Filed in Delaware, National by on January 5, 2011

The Washington Post put together a list of 10 freshmen in the 112th Congress to watch that includes Sen. Coons.

Sen.-elect Chris Coons was widely expected to lose to Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) in the race to permanently replace Vice President Joe Biden (D-Del.). But Christine O’Donnell’s tea party-driven win over in the September 2010 GOP primary transformed the race. During the 2010 campaign, Coons stressed his “independence” after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) bizarrely referred to the Democrat as his “pet.”

Oops, Washington Post, Coons is not Senator-elect, but actually a Senator.

    Coons is a sharp guy and has a good grasp of the issues. Hopefully he will not fall into the party politics trap in DC.

    I voted for him. Even did a photo opp with him. ( part of the incentive was that it was me giving the tea baggers in delaware the middle finger. ). i think the photos are still on his website and the news journal’s website. They even interviewed me.

    Go Chris! He is also carrying on the Biden tradition of lending a hand here in Delaware when we need him.

  3. thetruth says:

    He was also name by one organization “The Luckiest Man of the Year” He was put up to run as the set loser and came out a winner!

  4. In Delaware says:

    Maybe it’s just the proud english minor in me… or something but there’s a glaring mistake in this graph.

    He’s not the Senator-elect…he’s been Senator Coons for almost two months-ish. Just saying.

    But way to go Senator!

    You could watch a movie projected onto his forehead, but I don’t think that was what they meant.

  6. Dana Garrett says:

    I am not surprised that they named him as someone to watch. He is smart as a whip.

  7. Bocnroc says:

    The only thing you need to watch coons for is to watch him screw the public out of more taxes of course you RATS, in New Castle just love to pay taxes.

  8. Jason330 says:

    Hey sucker teabag, did you notice how long it took Republicans to take a shit on you? Pretty quick. Pretty dang quick. Don’t worry though, I’m sure they’ll have you in mind while being wined and dinned by lobbyists.

  9. CollinsB says:

    Chris is really smart with the added bonus that he understands the issues well enough that he can explain difficult & complex issues in a way that almost everyone can understand. I know that most of the people in DE that won’t be able to understand are the Bill Collie sycophants. I have no hope that they will ever understand an intelligent well-reasoned idea, so it doesn’t really matter if they understand.

  10. Paratrooper18 says:

    Collie is not even a consideration in DE. The only people dumber than his listener is any business that advertises on that show, and the moron that hired him and pays him.

  11. Bocnroc says:

    Hey, scumbags you want to get on Bill Colley,Bill C has more brains in his little finger then you have up your butt. Because, you ain”t any in your head!! Your head is full of crap

  13. Paratrooper18 says:

    Bocnroc.. are you bill or are you the listener?

  14. Paratrooper18 says:

    sorry have to translate my previous post in case it is bill.

    ar yu bill ore te lisener

  15. Geezer says:

    You know the difference between a Bill Colley listener and a pile of shit?

    You can use the shit as fertilizer. The Colley listener has no use.

  16. Paratrooper18 says:

    Geezer, a colley listener can help the Democratic party pick up a US Senate seat.

    Paratrooper – knowing the sort of emails Curley sends out to people he doesn’t like, my guess is Bocnroc is Curley himself.

  18. Paratrooper18 says:

    That was my guess, he does have a certain lack of style to his writing.

  19. MJ says:

    Paratrooper – if you go over to wgmd.com and read his blog entries, you’ll see a couple of recent ones where he turned off comments. But there are some stories where people have commented about what he has emailed to people in the past. Here’s a link to one – http://www.wgmd.com/?p=14990

    With the Coons record on NCC taxes and debt he is a Washington natural. Spend spend and do nothing. wait, he could be President.
