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.
Agreed Jason, we have some work to do. But can I say that Glee just came a week early.
Christine is a nut, but she has my vote. Anything to ruin your day, Jason.
“Christine is a nut, but she has my vote. Anything to ruin your day, Jason.”
And in that comment we get the psychology of the Tea Partier in all its mean, dumb, angry glory. Politics in the old sense — as the art of compromise — is hard, dirty and frustrating, and most Americans haven’t done anything hard, dirty and frustrating in a long time, if ever. Now you know why the GOP has become the Party of No — in their frustration and inability to master the system, the Tea Partier chooses instead to tear it down.
I think my new metaphor is going to be “Lord of the Flies” — children without supervision descending into barbarity.
Compromise? You’re so cute. Suck on the Tea Bags, pal!
Remember, it’s all fun and games until someone loses a nut.
That was just an enormous amount of rage pouring out of Below the Canal. Blind rage that dictated falling on their swords rather than voting for an establishment candidate. It does not bode well for establishment candidates or anybody perceived as establishment.
NCC and Wilmington can carry the state but we need all hands on deck, and we for sure need Democrats to get over their ennui, or disappointment, or lack of purity, and get out to vote on November 2nd.
If you study votes in the General Assembly, geography trumps Party most of the time. Delaware is two different worlds and they just collided. It’s going to be very bumpy for the next six weeks.
Southern NCC, Kent and Sussex plan to stick it to liberal jerks in Northern NCC. You have no idea HOW MUCH we hate you. We’d rather send crazy and stupid to Washington than another union goon like Coons.
Remember to floss with my ball hair.
“You have no idea HOW MUCH we hate you.”
Sure we do. We watched “Deliverance.”
“NCC and Wilmington can carry the state…”
No, they can’t. Not without some broader race or issue (e.g., Obama) to bring out the casual voters who will punch the D buttons without thinking.
That was proven in both the Democratic and Republican primaries yesterday. Christine O’Donnell and Chip Flowers both worked hard in Kent and Sussex, and swamped the party favorites.
New Castle and Wilmington can say goodbye to state domination. Delaware belongs to below the canal now.
The children depicted by Golding were paragons of civil discourse compared to the modern Republican.
Wow. Nice, a. price. You just equated two-thirds of the state with terrorists. Classy move, jackass.
“You have no idea HOW MUCH we hate you.”
i think Oklahoma City might know….

AMEN
How did my reply to a. price get posted above the original comment?? Is this bizarro comment world or something??
Dunno anon. We had our highest traffic night last night and we are still getting tons of hits. Perhaps it was a glitch.
I think the timestamps are set when you open the comment window, not when you click Submit.
I’m donating to both Coons and Carney today.
2 thirds, huh?
i didnt realize there were 45,000 people in Delaware.
what i DID do was point out that Oklahoma city was the product of extreme right wing hatred of government….. something “flipit” resembled when he happily ran with the Deliverance reference and flatly said “WE HATE YOU”
Also keep in mind all the sane people who have been flooding out of the De GOP. This was a closed primary. The only people who could vote in it were the NCC republicans (or what is left of them) and the under-evolved, xenophobic, Palin worshiping rednecks who inhabit the lower part of this state.
You think places like REHOBETH are gonna vote for a teabagger?
me too UI, also i think 10 hours a week to each other them in the form of phone banking etc. Hope to see some of ya at HQ!
what if little old delaware… with our capture of a GOP house seat and defense of a Senate seat is the goalie that saves the Dem majority this year?
Yes, later this week we’ll post something about how to volunteer. I think they phone bank every evening and knock on doors on the weekends. Perhaps we can arrange a “Delaware Liberal” phone bank night or something.
oooo fun!
PLEASE do not forget that we have local candidates, also.
I told you. I told you the fundies were excited and would turn out. They did.
This is not good news for any reality-based person, really. I’ll hold my celebrations until people who can hold a multisyllabic conversation are more or less safely in charge.
“We’d rather send crazy and stupid to Washington than another union goon like Coons.”
And that’s how this place turns into Idiocracy within the decade.
“New Castle and Wilmington can say goodbye to state domination. Delaware belongs to below the canal now.”
Depends on where you draw the line. The electoral map shows everyplace below Kirkwood Highway going for O’Donnell — but that’s among the Republicans. There are lots and lots of Democrats who live between Kirkwood Highway and the Canal. If you draw the line at the Canal, upstate still has far more people.
Flowers was wise to work everywhere outside of Wilmington, because the Potter influence in the city made any gains there an uphill fight. Those who hate Potter would vote for Flowers anyway; those who love Potter would be unswayable.
Put it this way: He was knocking on doors in my Republican-dominated Hockessin neighborhood. He ran an outside-the-city strategy, not a downstate one.
