G.O.P. Leaders Say Delaware Upset Damages Senate Hopes.

[elleng]

Republicans had been counting the Delaware seat, which was vacated by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., as among those they believed they could use to reach a majority in the Senate. Party strategists said on Tuesday evening that they would assess the race this week, but that they would likely direct their money elsewhere — a sign that they believed that Ms. O’Donnell could not prevail in a general election. The Democratic nominee for the seat is Chris Coons, the county executive in New Castle County.

“There’s just a lot of nutty things she’s been saying that just simply don’t add up,” Karl Rove, the Republican strategist, said in a television interview on Fox News. “I’m for the Republican, but I’ve got to tell you, we were looking at eight to nine seats in the Senate. We’re now looking at seven to eight. In my opinion, this is not a race we’re going to be able to win.”

Rover finally going TRUTHY!!! Waddya think???

[still_one]

1. Democrats still have plenty of problems, especially in Florida where the Democrat

and Independent are destroying each other, and Penn with Sestak is a very difficult race

2. Will we see a Rove vs Armey fistfight?

Might be interesting.

I'll sell the tickets and we can clean up. ;-)

3. Wonder what Rove and Dean will say at their pre-election

talk at the Univ. of Delaware. I wasn't going to buy a ticket since it's the only presentation in the series that tickets are required for, plus I didn't really want to see ol' pig face. After his comments last night, I may just change my mind (if it's not too late).

4. Could be interesting.

When?
