Liberals Around America Praying for Christine O’Donnell Victory

By: redtillimdead (Diary)  |  September 12th, 2010 at 10:32 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

There is a reason Liberal Democrats want Christine O’Donnell to win the DE Primary Tuesday: She cannot beat liberal Democrat Chris Coons. Here are comments from the liberal elction blog Swing State Project on the potential O’Donnell victory:

“Please, God. Yes” -  JeremiahTheMessiah http://www.swingstateproject.com/showComment.do?commentId=169640

“Thank You Delaware Republicans!

Thank you Sarah! Thank You O’Donnell supporters. I kid you not I literally just walked out of my house and yelled thank you Jesus! Not even playing I swear I did. I live in the middle of nowhere and no one heard me but still.”- hoosierdem http://www.swingstateproject.com/showComment.do?commentId=169644
Thats just a small sample of the, as of now, 74 comments praising Christine O’Donnell, because they now that a Christine O’Donnell win Tuesday means a Chris Coons win in November.
According to Rasmussen Reports, Chris Coons leads O’Donnell by 11 points, 47-36.
According to Rasmussen Reports, Mike Castle leads Chris Coons by 11 points, 48-37.
According to the unreleased Public Policy Polling poll:
[Chris Coons] would start out with a large advantage over O’Donnell in a general election match up, and is polling closer to Castle than he was when PPP polled Delaware last month.
Its very simple. If you want to see large enough majorities in Congress to override an Obama veto on ObamaCare repeal, Mike Castle is your man. If you want to embarrass the Obama Administration by winning the VP’s Senate Seat, Mike Castle is your man. If you don’t care if ObamaCare is revealed, Christine O’Donnell is your girl. If you want the Administration to be opening champagne bottles November 3rd, knowing they held on to Biden’s seat, then Christine O’Donnell is your girl.
If you want Obama and Biden to be in the fetal position crying November 3rd because of embarrassing losses in Illinois and Delaware, Castle is your man.
I also want to ask what happened to everyone who was so appalled at Andre Bauer’s campaign for SC Gov. He started calling Nikki Haley a whore, falsely accusing her of affairs. Now, Christine O’Donnell is falsely accusing Mike Castle of having a gay affair, and everyone ignores it. I just find that crazy.

    Court documents obtained Saturday by THE WEEKLY STANDARD reveal surprising new details about the gender discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Christine O

    • JSobieski

      and if you don’t think she is a strong candidate, you must be sexist.

      The folks at the Weekly Standard are a bunch of sexist snobs. So are the people at National Review Online. Just a bunch of punk elitists.

      The think tank that gave her a job is OBVIOUSLY filled with RINOs who are sexist.

      So shut about the smears. Stop saying bad things about Christine, you sexist RINOs. Get with the program and vote for a proven conservative, not some jerk who votes with Obama 99.9999%.

      I am so sick of RINOs saying bad things about Christine.

    • cbc80

      I sure as h*ll don’t. And i’ve told them so when they’ve called. Because of all the RINOs they keep supporting.

      I donate directly to the candidates now. The current National GOP is on the verge of extinction. Their only hope is to conform to rightful conservatism…or cease to be relevant.

  • cordpt

    It’s that the MSM and the Dems will do everything to connect O’Donnell to truly good conservative candidates like Angle, Buck, Paul or Toomey and that will bring them down.

    O’Donnell is going to be a drag around the party’s neck and especially around the Tea Party’s neck – especially when the MSM starts attacking her with what they already know. It’s going to be a disaster, they’ll try everything to make these elections about the Delaware Senate race and turn O’Donnell into the prototypical GOP/Tea Party candidate.

    • Pazquackman_of_Delaware

      O’Donnell can’t defend conservatism in the face of liberals. After the liberals failed to paint Toomey and Paul as delusional, they’ll succeed with O’Donnell, because she really is delusional.

    • eburke

      ties Castle’s ‘bipartisan’ liberal votes around the necks of the GOP and blurs for the average voter the difference between the two parties?

      • JSobieski

        Castle isn’t going to get any national coverage during the campaign should he win. O’Donnell is a different story. She does paint a big and easy target. I know conservatives like to think that she is just another Rubio or Miller, but please . ..

      • cordpt

        and not for Scott Brown, right? Because, you know, Brown is a lot more likely to deliver “bipartisan votes” than Coakley, who would vote the party line every time. If having Senators with a more centrist voting pattern hurts the electoral chances of the party, then it makes more sense to elect hardcore liberals instead of them.

        However, even low info voters know that parties aren’t ideologically homogeneous but that are differences between them. Articulating those differences well doesn’t become impossible because of bi-partisan legislation. Reagan is a pretty good example of this, don’t you think? So, I somehow doubt that Scott Brown, Hacht or Lugar will prevent us from electing conservatives like Hoeven, Paul or Toomey this November.

        O’Donnel, on the other hand, will.

        That’s the difference. A pretty big one if you ask me.

    • redtillimdead

      Angle, Buck, Paul, and Toomey are good candidate who would be harmed by being tied to Christine O’Donnell.

      • cbc80

        I said ODonnell is going to win this Primary running away. And loons can celebrate all they want. She’s going to win the General too.

        The American public HATES the Librul left. We’ve seen the damage they can do and we’re rising to put a permanent stop to it.

        • redtillimdead

          LOL
          Get back to me on that November 3rd. We’ll see if you still feel the same way when the Administration is celebrating Chris Coon’s victory.

          • cbc80

            I heard the same cat calls a couple weeks ago when I said she would win the Primary. The loons are in retreat. Everywhere. They’ve buried themselves for generations with what they’ve done the past 2 years.

            A conservative Alfred E. Newman could be nominated in a primary and win a general right now.

            One just has to look how a WVU Gov Mancin can have a 70% positive approval rating…only to get blown away in the Senate race.

            There’s no place for the loons to hide anymore….

          • http://moelane.com/ Moe Lane

            This statement is self-evidently false:

            “A conservative Alfred E. Newman could be nominated in a primary and win a general right now.”

            If it were true, we’d be doing better in Oregon, Hawaii, NY-Schumer, & Maryland. For a start – and, for that matter, we’re not actually winning in West Virginia, although we’re certainly going to be working on that.

            Look, this is turning out to be a great year for us: but watch out for victory disease.

          • qixlqatl

            We are looking at a “seismic” event, but not one that is going to sink the Democrat “continent” into the sea– it will still be there in ’12.

          • cbc80

            This has been rising for over a year. Oregon may yet be in play. Gillibrand isn’t looking so good now, And Delaware isn’t Oregon or NY. Safe seats like Schumer’s will be closer then the pundits predict.

            Like Missouri’s 70% repudiation against Obamacare when the polls consistantly showed only 58% against…the polls are all biased to the down side for republicans. Or Miller’s 3 point win when the polls called him 20 points down just the week before.

            Crist was unassailable a year ago up 30+ percent on Rubio. He’ll now be lucky to get 25% of the vote. And he too was considered moderate.

            This election is going to be a MUCH MUCH larger than win for Republicans than anyone in the media and political establisment is willing to admit. Or worse…can even see.

            The media thought Obama was historic? They ain’t seen nothing yet.

          • http://moelane.com/ Moe Lane

            And that was deliberate: Schumer should be vulnerable this year – the safety of his seat is easily the most overrated of this election cycle* – but at the moment he’s not. And, trust me, if it’s possible for the NY GOP to nominate a conservative Alfred E. Newman for that primary they will.

            Moe Lane

            *Short version: he’s only been in office for two terms and his first re-election in 2004 was assisted by a conveniently imploding NY GOP.

          • SirGladiator

            The liberals in the GOP Establishment are going crazy tonight, because their man is going down in Delaware. They thought that the reason their woman in Alaska, Murkowski, lost wasn’t because she was too liberal for the voters, it was just because she didn’t run enough negative ads against Joe Miller. Well, problem solved, they’ve had the long knives out on Christine O’Donnell for the last week and a half or so, if not longer, including tons of negative radio and TV ads. But wait, shockingly the far left Beltway ‘wisdom’ was wrong. Imagine that! After all those negative ads, negative columns, calling her all sorts of nasty names and all the rest of it, guess what the latest polling numbers say?

            Top line O’Donnell has gone from being down 44-38 in the Tea Party poll from a week and a half or so ago, to the newest poll out tonight from PPP showing her ahead 47-44. But the underlying numbers of the poll are also quite juicy. All that incredible money on negative ads and all those columns they wrote saying all those nasty things about Christine, and guess who’s net positive and who’s net negative? Mike Castle is 43 positive 47 negative, Christine O’Donnell is 45 positive 41 negative. Oh those beltway liberals were so smart….about as smart as they normally are, anyway :) .

            Just a bit of other fun numbers from the poll, 55 percent rated Castle too liberal, while 24 percent found O’Donnell too Conservative, with 53% saying she’s ‘about right’. Oh, but Castle is the ‘mainstream’ candidate, right? Riiiiight….keep telling yourself that GOP Establishment. The liberals like to think of themselves as Mainstream, but in reality its the Conservatives who are Mainstream, as this poll indicates quite clearly.

            Now that the voters are learning that O’Donnell is a mainstream Conservative and Castle is too liberal for Delaware, it’s just a matter of time until the voters learn that the Democrat in the race is too liberal for Delaware also, and Christine will score the same kind of glorious victory in the fall that she’s about to win on Tuesday. We’re taking our party back from the RINOs, our Government back from the Democrats, and it feels REALLY good :) .

          • cbc80

            …Maybe i’m not the only rational one out here afterall.

          • smagar

            Those of us who see an O’Donnell nomination as a de-facto lost Senate seat in November (when it really counts) have cited lots more evidence.

            Can you show us any polling numbers from an O’Donnell-Coons matchup, of likely Delaware voters? Or, even better, statistical proof that, since 2008, more than half of the registered voters in Delaware have signed up for the Tea Party?

            Otherwise, it’s hard to see O’Donnell winning the general election.

            Now, if your primary goal is punishing the RINOs in DE, so that the DE GOP can build an enduring future of minority status, you seem to be well on that path.

  • cbc80

    …is going to lose his bid for the Senate. Mark it down. Why? The the public wants to put an end to the madness. 4 Million more Republicans voted in the Primaries then DemocRATS did. A total reversal from 2 years ago. And the largest margin since the 1920′s if my memory serves.

    I’ve been seeing this wave for a year. Since I went to last Sept’s Tea Party event in Chicago. Over 10,000 people showed up in Obama’s back yard.

    Back then… I put money on it with some Librul friends that Repubs will win the House. They’re ready to hand me the cash already. I know many many people who voted for Obama that have said they will not do so again.

    The people are PISSED! Sometimes I feel i’m the only one on these blogs that actually see what’s really happening.

  • cbc80

    …keeps referencing that poll that shows ODonnell 10 points down to Coon. ODonnell has referenced a poll a few weeks ago that had her up 2 on him. Why doesn’t anyone ever reference that???

    At that same time she said her internals showed her down to Castle by only two.

    Funny…how 2 nights before the election PPP has her up 3

    • redtillimdead

      That poll was taken months ago. The newest data is much more relevant. Every poll except for that one poll months ago has shown her down double digits to Coons.

    I thought praying went against the left’s anti religious sentiment…

  • http://todaysasbestos.wordpress.com scotteiland

    I was planning on staying out of this primary until the cheap shots started coming at O’Donnell.

    When the coordinated attacks of the flaccid Republican establishment decided to come after O’Donnell- and did so in a particularly arrogant way – I decided to contribute to O’Donnell’s campaign and make calls for her this weekend.

    To me, Castle is indistinguishable from Coons. Castle is a leftist who voted for Cap and Trade and won’t vote to repeal Obamacare. Oh, he also voted for TARP.

    So what do we gain if Castle wins? Thanks, we already have one Olympia Snowe, and she’s a disaster. Add that to the fact that Castle’s 76 and we’d have to go through this again one term from now, and quite frankly I’d rather try to elect a conservative while we can.

    Castle’s a liberal. He’s not worth the effort, folks.

  • ffc99

    I get it, you don’t like Castle, join the club. Care to explain how Ms. O’Donnell is being smeared? Seems to me that she’s being “smeared” by the facts.

  • JSobieski

    so that’s what you gain.

    Legislative bodies are a numbers game.

  • smagar

    To me, Castle is indistinguishable from Coons.

    R, instead of D

  • redtillimdead

    And accusing him of having a gay affair is not a vicious smear?Also, he’s 70, and its a 4 yr term.

  • http://todaysasbestos.wordpress.com scotteiland
  • http://todaysasbestos.wordpress.com scotteiland

    I don’t care what the Weekly Standard wrote or about her own fiscal issues. Castle will vote to kill my job. He voted for Cap and Trade! That’s 10,000 percent worse than any lawsuit or any financial problems O’Donnell may have had. Her credit programs won’t destroy industry in this country. Cap and Trade will.

    Also, Delaware GOP chair Tom Ross is a jerk..

    It’s really easy to beat up on a citizen candidate isn’t it?

    If that weren’t enough, Ross didn’t bother to even recruit a candidate to run for AG against Beau Biden.

    What’s he there for?

    Christine isn’t perfect. Castle, to me, is no different from Coons. I just can’t support him.

    We can’t afford Republicans who will undermine our side as we try to undo the damage that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid caused.

  • smagar

    Plus, if he sticks with his 52% ACU rating, he’ll vote with the GOP half the time. As opposed to Senator Coons, who will vote with us—how often?

  • http://todaysasbestos.wordpress.com scotteiland

    But I suppose we’ll find out.

    Strategically, if we’re not going to take the Senate (and if Castle is the one putting us over the top, how tenuous IS that (R)?) I say we try to win with the conservative. IF she doesn’t win (and the Scott Brown win tells me she can) there are PLENTY of favorable seats for us to take next time around.

    We’ll see what Delaware does. If they elect Castle, though, expect us to have at least as many problems with him as we did with Lincoln Chafee.

    We shall see.

    He’ll just be another non-conservative senator in DC. Better than pretty much every Dem Senator, including Ben Nelson, just as bad as Snowe, a bit worse than Brown. But nobody will be able to say “hey, look what conservatives do when they get in office, they spend like they’re liberals” because Castle doesn’t claim to be a liberal.

    Now, if you have a self-called conservative with character flaws, a self-called conservative with a penchant to get in trouble, a self-called conservative who promotes the view that conservatism leads to gender discrimination, a self-called conservative that one days supports the expansion of government through a socialist program like NCLB and the other day reivents herself as a small-government conservative… then you may have someone undermining the conservative cause.

    And I’d rather have another Ted Kennedy in the house than another self-called conservative who doesn’t live up to it.
