    Lee is putting up George W. Bush numbers.

    This is a repudiation. Not so much of Lee but of the Delaware GOP he stands for.

    Protack = right message, wrong messenger.

    Fairleigh Dickinson University also has polling on the race that confirms the Survey USA poll.

    I always worry about that for breaking news. But since I almost never catch this kind of stuff I just figured you guys must be terribly busy today.

    Ouch, the PublicMind (Farleigh Dickinson) survey polled Castle/KHN.

    In the election for Delaware’s at-large district for the U.S. House of Representatives, longtime incumbent Mike Castle leads the Democratic challenger, Karen Hartley-Nagel 62%-28% with leaners included. In this race, Republicans break for Castle 86%-7% while Democrats split about evenly, 47% for Castle and 44% for the Hartley-Nagel. The Democrat not only doesn’t carry Democrats but doesn’t carry women. They break for Castle by a two-to-one margin (59%-31%).

    Yeah, ouch.

    What’s up with Fairly Ridiculous not polling the Lt. Gov race?

    Right Bookem.

    Lee is going to suddenly open a can of whoop-ass, because he is such a dynamic campaigner and all.

    What’s up with the math? Assuming the 34% Republicans in the SUSA poll, I count 1 in 7 Republicans crossing over to vote for Markell.

    Oops. I was looking at XStryker’s version of the poll. When I went to the actual poll, I see what you mean.
