[polichick]

1. The media will probably say she won, just like Psycho Sarah beat Joe. nt

[valerief]

3. Undoubtedly. nt

[spanone]

17. i watched al gore chew up and spit out mr bu$h* and the media called it a draw

[JNelson6563]

35. Yes and I'm STILL reeling from that!

Utterly astounding how the CorporateWhoreMedia were so blatantly biased!

Julie

[gateley]

2. I am really surprised she agreed to this debate. I think she'll get flattened. nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. Some might say it'll be a cruel blood sport

I suppose she's counting on the kind of voter she might get being too stupid to be able to understand a debate well enough to work out who's winning it.

[w8liftinglady]

13. well,I like mixed martial arts!

[JaneQPublic]

4. I'm poppin' popcorn tonight!

Netflix sent me a Wanda Sykes DVD today, but she'll have to wait. This debate promises to be even more laughs than Wanda!

[ThomWV]

5. With about a half hour to go I thought I kick this back up as a reminder.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Thanks for posting

I just got home from work and had no idea.

[Parker CA]

6. Kick and Rec! This should be an amazing display of stupidity. Comedy turned up to 11. nt

[Terra Alta]

8. this should be fun. nt

[H2O Man]

9. Great!

Thanks for letting me know -- I'd have missed it otherwise. I will definitely be watching!

[H2O Man]

10. ****recommended!

I forgot to recommend this a few minutes ago. Done. Television on, and ready to go! I'm really looking forward to this!

[w8liftinglady]

11. that should be entertaining-i'm online there

[PeaceNikki]

14. Better yet, Wonkette is liveblogging it

http://wonkette.com/426234/liveblogging-christine-odonnells-big-debate

[Beaverhausen]

15. Mitchell Hall? That takes me back to my days at UofD!

[w8liftinglady]

16. yes-she will get her ass handed to her.

how can you do these and cut taxes?

[w8liftinglady]

18. coons goes against outsourcing-tax credits for American business

[w8liftinglady]

19. OK..like all republicans-her rebuttal is to insult him.

[w8liftinglady]

20. "get out of the way?"..don't raise taxes?-they haven't done shit since 2001.

[w8liftinglady]

21. yes-slander the people who are on...heavens forbid...food stamps

[w8liftinglady]

22. LOL..O'Donnell simply lies.

[Beaverhausen]

23. Has she said anything that she will do, yet?

[w8liftinglady]

24. LOL...hiring freeze-but put people to work

[Missy Vixen]

27. She'd roll back small business regulations

I can't even imagine what she thinks should be done away with.

This woman shouldn't be allowed out of the house without a minder. Leonard Nimoy is doing a five-part series in search of her brain.

:eyes:

[butterfly77]

25. She's wasting time..

throwing out what she CLAIMS he has done while not answer anything..

[Beaverhausen]

26. So all she does is criticize him, but he can't do the same to her or she will cry 'victim'

I hope Wolfie will actually ask her to say something important.

[Missy Vixen]

32. Wolfie's not asking her any tough questions

The other moderator seems to be willing to call her to task.

[kevinbgoode]

28. omg...she went there...to the "fellowship" at Claremont

and then tried to act like she's just a regular person struggling to pay her bills.

Of course, she hasn't had a job in years.

[kevinbgoode]

30. Why is she allowed to just interrupt him?

That pisses me off. . .

[butterfly77]

33. +1

[one_voice]

37. And that snotty comment..

about the trust fund....UUUGGHHH...

[Beaverhausen]

29. what a pompous ass she is

You're just jealous you weren't on SNL

after he was actually very nice and didn't mention her creepyness

[Tatiana]

31. Oh here she goes with the "I didn't go to Yale" BS again. **Yawn**

Coons redirects the discussion towards what Delawareans want to know, in terms of what their policy positions are.

Damn, this chick is so much like Palin, I'm having flashbacks to the Biden-Palin debate.

[butterfly77]

40. Exactly,what I was thinking...

she tries to throw him off point when he begins to answer with nonsense.

When it her turn she insinuates,lies and tries to pretend as though she cares for people. What in the hell does she know about Iraq,Afghanistan or any damn thing else about foreign policy.

These are the same old bush/cheney talking points..

[Tatiana]

34. "Ms. O'Donnell is not familiar with how bond ratings work."

Coons points out that he earned his county's triple bond rating.

[kevinbgoode]

36. hahaha....he got her over the bond rating issue

she really is unseemly in her behavior. . .she must have been told to start slinging everything in sight.

[w8liftinglady]

38. it will take all I have to listen to her shit

[w8liftinglady]

39. especially about veterans and soldiers-you are so right,Coons.

[w8liftinglady]

41. OK..if I use the "F" word,I apologize in advance.

[blondeatlast]

42. Moderating is terrible, sheesh. nt

[kevinbgoode]

43. hahaha...Ms. O'Donnell, let's stay focused on the issue at hand..

ohhh...she really comes off as nothing more than someone desperate for that government paycheck...and in fear that she isn't going to get one.

[blondeatlast]

47. HORRIBLE moderating. nt

[underpants]

50. Just flipped over for a sec-Why is Wolf Blitzer moderating? Why not a local?

Why? because corporate media is promoting her and the teabagging side. Good, let them- people don't like the teabaggers every poll has shown that.

[spanone]

44. what benchmarks are you talking about airhead...specifics

she's way over her head in foreign policy

when we were fighting the soviets?

[Tatiana]

45. O'Donnell is pretty aggressive. She's been coached well. n/t

[one_voice]

54. I just said the same thing to my daughter...

I think she comes off better than Sarah Palin...

[Tatiana]

73. She does. She strings her talking points together in coherent sentences. n/t

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

46. "You're just jealous you weren't on Saturday Night Live"

[underpants]

55. Ironic- she is the princess of free publicity

just like Palin

[spanone]

48. she said we were fighting the soviets in afghanistan....WTF? did i miss that war?

[blondeatlast]

49. You and me both, I'm 45 and I don't remember it. nt

[butterfly77]

51. What I was thinking..

I thought they were going to do a follow up question.

[coti]

134. Nope, Blitzer didn't see anything interesting to delve into in that one. nt

[H2O Man]

61. I heard that.

She should have been called on that.

[rainbow4321]

82. LOLOLOL....

ROTFLMAO...I don't know what is making me laugh harder, her or the responses in this thread!

[Brother Buzz]

85. If you had a 'Double super secret background' clearance like O'Donnell...

You'd know China was plotting to take over America, too.

[coti]

129. She can argue that was a proxy war- what makes that statement idiotic

is that she said we "didn't finish the job" (as if the USSR still exists) and apparently believes not only that communism and Islamic terrorism are linked, but that the Soviets didn't even lose their Afghanistan war. Nor does she understand that the very proxy organization that we created to fight them in that war attacked us on 9/11.

She was a moron four or five times over with that.

[genna]

135. I haven't been here in a while but I do remember threads or discussions

at some point of going into Afghanistan instead of Yemen or Saudi Arabia because we funded the Taliban/alQueda during the satellite wars across the Near East, the Middle East, and North Africa.

I recognize non European wars aren't on our nightly news but our U.S. AID policies in this hemisphere and the developing world has to be newsworthy at some point especially when we are supporting our corporations' agendas across the world. We are fighting against some of the arms we supplied the Taliban/alQueda in the 1950s and 1960s.

The way Christine O'Donnell introduced the concept was in left field, but the underlying facts would have our service people in wars all across the world. It doesn't make sense on its face.

[H2O Man]

138. I would prefer

to say that her introduction of the concept was in right field.

[spanone]

52. mr coons is talking like a great democrat NOW....

[Tatiana]

53. Chris Coons: Which Constitution is going to guide the way O'Donnell votes?

The one of 1920, the one of 1975 or the one of today?

[H2O Man]

56. He's picking up

the pace now.

[Tatiana]

69. Thankfully! n/t

[w8liftinglady]

57. Oh,Heavens no-he is faithful?...and how will she respond to that?

[Tatiana]

58. Wolf sez "Do you believe in evolution?" Christine sez "What I believe doesn't matter." n/t

[genna]

136. I thought this was the turning point in the debate.

Coons hadn't gotten his sea legs until then. He was doing okay but he wasn't putting to her or reaching his stride in answering their questions until then.

I don't agree with others. This was the best moderated debate I've seen in a few election cycles. The media has been partial to one side or the other in most debates I've seen.

[H2O Man]

59. She's starting to

de-evolve in front of our very eyes.

[malaise]

67. This is hysterically funny

To be kind she's really really really dumb.
She's believes shouting him down will make her the winner

[H2O Man]

70. She kept on script

for the first 15 minutes, which a trained chimp could do (think George W). Now, she's falling apart.

[Stinky The Clown]

60. Chris Coons Cleans CooCoo's Clock

She is so outmatched it is embarrassing.

[malaise]

62. Good fucking grief

Marxists tenets have been rewritten by this idiot. :rofl:

[H2O Man]

63. He had a beard?

Changes everything!

[malaise]

77. Hehehehehehe

Hilarious does not describe this but I'm off the watch the final rescues in the mines. I'll watch the rest of this later

[w8liftinglady]

66. Marx would be rolling in his grave...to even be mentioned by her uninformed ass

[kevinbgoode]

64. She just majorly fu*ked up on the evolution issue. . .

and then she tries to deflect to the fear-and-smear Marxist routine. She's a major fundie and anyone watching her response would know. . .her refusal to state her own opinion on evolution was VERY telling.

[H2O Man]

65. Chills!

Up our collective spines!

[Tatiana]

68. Christine whips out the "MARXIST!!!!!!!!!!" card.

Christine says that it should "send chills up the spine of every voter in Delaware."

[genna]

137. She forgets not everyone watches Fox nor are they worried about that being the reason

someone shouldn't be in government. What's so bad about studying Marxism if he did in college?

I would think evolution or the lack of study thereof would be 1000x worse.

[spanone]

71. pull her string and she'll repeat a republican talking point

[one_voice]

72. why is she getting so much time?

[kevinbgoode]

74. She really is a MAJOR loon. . ..

and worse, she spends so much time trying to pretend she isn't that she can't recognize when it comes out. . .

[spanone]

75. empower the teachers...what the hell does that mean?

[kevinbgoode]

79. she means...break the unions, then force teachers to work for

minimum wage...then abolish minimum wage.

[Tatiana]

76. "I would talk to the teachers, not the unions." WTF

The unions represent the teachers. Why wouldn't they be part of the education reform process?

[Brickbat]

88. The teachers ARE the union.

There is no third party involved.

[Tatiana]

92. Yep.

Along with other certified/certificated personnel. But yes, teachers are the union, so that was a stupid response by O'Donnell.

[w8liftinglady]

78. Fuck!!!!Health care DID need reform.I took care of them, bitch.

sorry.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

80. She's Sarah Palin without the word salad. Shallow and nasty. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

81. There is still a touch of word salad in her

But yes, she is nasty and shallow.

[spanone]

83. so wolfie, are you helping ms airhead clarify her position?

[Tatiana]

84. FINALLY COONS NAILS HER! Asks her to give an example of how the bill

"puts Uncle Sam in the examination room."

Christine can't give one.

[w8liftinglady]

86. good question.Wolfe about a person who doesn't buy insurance.

she isn't proposing shit

[spanone]

87. she has no thought process. she's a billboard.

[spanone]

89. 'ms o'donnell misrepresents her own positions'....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

best line of the debate

[butterfly77]

90. KICKIN..

HER :kick:!

[w8liftinglady]

91. I hope the students have some gumption

[spanone]

93. she knows NOTHING about foreign policy...N O T H I N G

just like palin....100% BS

[Tatiana]

94. There's a gasoline embargo? WTF? Italy, France, China, blah blah blah....

This lady is crazy. But her crazy does come across as better (marginally) than Palin's.

[w8liftinglady]

95. good lord-it's like Einstein competing with Curly Joe

[spanone]

97. watch out, you're talking to a stooge fan

[w8liftinglady]

100. lol..ok,how about joe derita?

[Tatiana]

96. Coons would vote to repeal DADT. He says it is pure discrimination.

Christine thinks the judge legislated from the bench.

[w8liftinglady]

98. My dad agreed to repeal DADT-he was a lifer in a high-security area.

Fuck this bitch.

[Tatiana]

99. The student questions are the best questions of this debate so far. n/t

[Tatiana]

101. You can tell, Chris Coons is thinking "this woman is crazy... seriesly!"

He has the patience of Job.

[Tatiana]

102. OMG....... O'Donnell cannot think of a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with.

OMG OMG OMG OMG

She can't name one.

WTF!? She said she would put it on her website.

[demmiblue]

108. Shades of Palin!

:rofl:

[Missy Vixen]

103. SHE JUST GOT PWNED!

The female moderator asked her to name one decision the Supreme Court made she objected to. She couldn't name one! She then claimed she'd "put it up on her website".

OMG!

:woohoo:

[DaveinJapan]

110. Sarah Palin moment. Funny her handlers didn't prepare a canned answer...

They're just as dumb as their mouthpieces, apparently!

How could they NOT think of that after the Palin debacle?

WTF!?

[spanone]

104. she has no opinion on the supreme court and she wants to be a senator

[Sparkly]

105. This is downright hilarious!!!

:rofl:

[spanone]

106. it's wednesday right, not saturday night?

[w8liftinglady]

107. LOL!!

[trumad]

109. They did a Palin on her...

she had the deer in the headlights look.... What a dumbass.

[Sparkly]

115. "Did I say Iraq? I meant Afghanistan." "Oh, Supreme Court? Yeah the one in California."

"And um, my opponent has expressed support for martians and oh my God that raises the issue of tax cuts and it's up to the states to decide. Not only that, we have got to begin to make changes in the color of the sky. Obama-sky has caused a 20% rise in unemployment."

[Tatiana]

111. You just KNOW this is going to be on SNL. n/t

[DaveinJapan]

114. Gotta bring Tina Fey into that skit...they just HAVE TO!

An earpiece bit where Tina is hunched in the background feeding her answers til they get to the Supreme Court question and they both freeze.

The skit just played out in my head perfectly, now how do I get hired to write for SNL within 24 hours!? :p

[underpants]

123. She was stone cold frozen on recent Supreme Court decisions

she had NO IDEA "I will put it up on my website"

[Sparkly]

126. I'll bet it's up there right now.

Before the debate even ends!

[Tatiana]

112. LMAO!!!! Chris is laughing now. He doesn't understand WTF she is saying either.

OKay... now she's getting a bit of the World Salad Syndrome (WSS).

[Cognitive_Resonance]

113. Without talking points she's hopeless. nt

[w8liftinglady]

116. oh,no-specifics

[spanone]

117. all voters should be insulted by the choice of odonnell. democrats and republicans

[Missy Vixen]

118. She "fought her party"

That's why she spouts Republican talking points whenever she opens her mouth!

OMG. I can't believe she walks around in public without a minder!

People of Delaware: You are smarter than this!

[LynneSin]

125. Right about now the republicans are wishing they fought harder

instead of being stuck with this embarrassment.

[Tatiana]

119. Did Harry Reid really call Coons his "pet?" n/t

[JonLP24]

130. I think so.

"I'm going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He's my pet. He's my favorite candidate," Reid said.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/119017-reid-coons-qmy-petq-will-win-de-senate-seat

[Tatiana]

131. Thanks for the link. Unfortunate choice of words by Reid.

He could have just said, "he's my friend."

[Lucy Goosey]

120. Wolf just essentially called her stupid for the "I'm not a witch" ad!

Ok, he didn't use the word "stupid", but I think his point was clear. :)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

121. She did just say lockstep and barrel? nt

[blondeatlast]

122. LAST MINER UP! (Just thought you'd all want to know) nt

[spanone]

124. thanks...

[LynneSin]

128. O'Donnell is not a witch and personally I think witches are insulted with the association

:D

[spanone]

127. dumber than palin? possibly

[kevinbgoode]

132. OMG...did you watch the ad for O'Donnell they showed after the debate?

It was about the spookiest thing I've ever seen!!!

[NorthCarolina]

133. Damn...after watching I can honestly say that I don't care for either candidate. eom
