Here's my take on the Delaware Senate race.
I can see the points made by many in the Republican Party who didn't want Christine O'Donnell to win because of her chances of beating Coons don't seem very likely.
What the Republicans don't seem to get is that the people are fed up with the establishment. They voted on principal and not party.
She has the chance to take away a Senate seat that has been anointed by the Dems as their own and it is being held for Joe Biden's son, much like the Kennedy throne.
The Democrats, with Harry Reid in the lead, want Coons (whom Reid called "his pet," a very liberal Progressive to have this seat and they will slander, whine, twist and shout about anyone in their way in order to get that seat.
Coons and his family business, W.L. Gore and Associates (his stepfather is the chairman and his mother is an executive), has received millions of taxpayers money for their business because of earmarks from Joe Biden. (see link below).
Keep in mind he is the County Executive.
On January 08, 2010 President Obama awarded $2.3 billion of the economic stimulus money for new clean-tech manufacturing jobs. Guess who got a chunk of our money, Building Efficiency and Energy Management - W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. "is producing an advanced membrane for high efficiency fuel cells for buildings and vehicles. The company’s products can help enable lower-cost fuel cells for use in electric vehicles or to power homes and businesses. They are also manufacturing an advanced turbine filter to improve the performance of gas turbines to produce greater outputs at lower cost and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

I hope she does win for several reasons. I hope she wins to gain a conservative voice in the Senate and she defeats another Progressive whose goals are to socialize this country and destroy the US Constitution. And I hope she wins to show all of Washington that the American public is fed up with party politics and business as usual in Washington.
Coons is a Progressive.
Say what you want about someone having a tough time with their taxes or their college tuition payments. O'Donnell was raised in a family with with 1 brother and 4 sisters. The girls shared a bedroom and their dad worked three jobs to support the family. Maybe she wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a trustfund to pay for her education. Maybe she's made some horrible mistakes. Who hasn't.
Everybody can scream and talk all they want to about stopping the lobbyists and special interest from controlling Washington. Coons is a career Washinton Lobbyist with an Ivy League education. It just seems like you are talking out of both sides of your mouth when you turn around and assaut and insult an American with financial issues who is trying to get elected to public office in this free country.
I thought that was part of what makes this country great. Does anyone else think is is strange that she gets beaten up by any liberal when she is an ordinary person who has faced every problem Obama and the Progressives say they are trying to fix...mortgage problems, banking problems, student loan problems, financial difficulties...you name it, the issues she is being criticized for having are the very issues liberals and Progressives say they are taking our money to correct. So should be the poster child for the Progressives.
