Hours before they meet in their first debate, a new poll indicates that Democrat Chris Coons holds a large lead over Republican Christine O'Donnell in the Senate battle in Delaware, a race that has captured national attention.

According to a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday, 57 percent of likely voters in Delaware support Coons, the executive of New Castle County, with 38 percent backing O'Donnell, who scored a major upset last month when she defeated Rep. Mike Castle to win Delaware's GOP Senate nomination.

Thanks to support from the Tea Party Express and a major endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, as well as the strong anti-establishment and anti-incumbent feelings among voters this year, O'Donnell topped Castle, a moderate Republican who served nine terms in the House as the state's sole congressman.

According to the poll, Coons' 19 point lead among likely voters is up from a 16 point lead in mid September. Among the larger sampling of registered voters, Coon's holds a 29 point lead, up from a 25 point advantage last month.

4. Embarassment should be countrywide not just Delaware

That teabaggers will cling to anyone who mimicries their credo even if the person is horribly qualified. I hope this will wake up some voters in Nevada.

6. The Corporate M$M is not giving up on the propaganda

If they tell people that the government is fucked up, they will believe it and vote for the crazy government.

11. Collecting campaign money is how she makes a living..

investigations often go nowhere, and only happen much later on, and if she ever did get caught, she'd just pay a fine..in the meantime, she's got some walkin' around cash until the next faux campaign. She's probably as startled as anyone that she became the candidate. Grifters like her like to fly under the radar, collecting just enough to live a nice life, but never having to actually put out much effort. Now she;s got a big ole spotlight on her and she may have to actually get a job this time around:)
