Yea, he tried to reign in the pageantry and she let loose with the pre-prepared “hip and today” quip. Kind of uncomfortable to watch.

But really I think that’s forgivable given she’s not in any way a seasoned politician.

So Donna, you don’t think she closed her 19% gap with her command of the issues?

Nobody’s going to play you , Coons . Senator O ‘ Donnell is the interesting one .

At least Coons was able to retire one of his opening lines used in the first debate (O’Donnell still had a snowballs chance in hell of winninng then) when he took a shot at Obama –

“For many of us who voted for change in 2008, we have not gotten the change that we hoped and worked for”

I can imagine Obama hearing about this and saying, “that mother fkr, cut off his campaign funds!”

That’s the same line Al Franken used in one of his debates with Norm Coleman in their race for the Senate seat in MN.

So you are saying it wasn’t an original thought. Good analysis.

Calling this spectacle political theater is a stretch. It was more or less deflect the question and attack the opponent, especially from O’Donnell. Half the time she didn’t even answer the questions, only attacked. Looks like republicans are still using the same tactic; vote for me, I’m not the other person!

It is a bit odd that Pres Obama is having a fundraiser for Coons in Delaware later this week. With the polls as they are, you would think that wouldn’t be necessary. He is also having one in Mass. for Barney Frank, someone who should have a perfectly safe seat. However:

With the respected, nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifting Barney Frank’s Massachusetts district from “solid” Democratic to “likely” Democratic and what appears to be the increasing momentum of his Republican challenger Sean Bielat, the National Republican Congressional Committee may be putting its money into the race.

The Party committee’s spending would be a major boon to the young former Marine challenging the notoriously cantankerous Frank, and is the latest sign of just how wide the playing field is in the 2010 midterm elections…

Privately, a Republican operative said Cantor’s lunch with Bielat was illustrative. “That would certainly be an indication this is winnable,” the source said. A major Tea Party group has also vowed to pour money into the race.

You realize that even though his seat was “guaranteed” Ted Kennedy got out and campaigned EVERY ELECTION, right?

Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers said:

In GW Bush’s world, compassionate conservatism = free spending liberal. GW was a huge liberal when it came to domestic policy. Which is exactly why he got hammered so hard by the left for the terrible handling of the Iraq invasion (that many Dems also supported.) They couldn’t slam him on domestic policy – because he was a liberal! No Child Left Behind with Kennedy, an 18% annual increase in education spending, record amounts of money to inner city schools, Medicare prescription drug benefit, record multibillion-dollar fund to fight AIDS globally, tripled financial aid to Africa, American Dream Downpayment Act (zero downpayment loans for poor people) and I could go on and on and on. Yeah, he was compassionate alright.

Sometimes you have to throw out ideology to do whatever is necessary. You do realize that Roosevelt wasn’t all “socialism”, right? He also made some borderline fascist propositions, but the supreme court ruled against those.

The_Reasonable_Lib said:

I wouldn’t equate Ted Kennedy with Barney Frank. Plus, this has already proven to be a unique election year.

This is the toughest race Barney Frank has ever faced. Clinton has already been up to campaign for him. Next will be Obama. BTW, Scott Brown narrowly won Frank’s district.

The_Reasonable_Lib said:

Absolutely. Roosevelt cut spending 3 or 4 times to try to reduce the debt and balance the budget, but had a difficult time doing this because of the depression and all of the social programs he created. I don’t think Bush’s decisions had anything to do with doing what was necessary. I truly think he wanted to be a liked by everyone, including liberals. The social spending programs were an actual reach across the aisle. I don’t think Bush was a good President, but I do think he’s one of the most misunderstood Presidents we’ve seen in a long, long time.

That is a spot-on analysis. I particularly like the line about finishing the job fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Nothing much gets past this woman. Except the withdrawal of the Soviets from Afghanistan and the collapse of the Soviet Union. In fairness, both happened at night. As Randi would say, “It’s dark at night.”

They get confused about that war because they were accustomed to calling the Taliban “freedom fighters” and now of course they are “terrorists”.

O;Donnell impressed conservatives with her recall of recent supreme court cases that she opposes, particularly in light of the her angst for activist judges.

Maybe because she wouldn’t answer the question.

I didn’t watch it, but I wonder if any actual policies were discussed in depth and with a real debate. It sounds like it was just a show. That’s entertaining, but it’s like conducting a job interview and all you make the candidates do is joke around.

Almost three years ago I proposed *real* debates:

http://24ahead.com/n/7270

Needless to say, I got no help with that from the political establishment, including r/w and l/w bloggers. Both of them know what would happen: their policies would be shown to be wanting. Much better for them to just encourage more entertainment.

And, the same is true of the ‘partiers: they have no interest in putting their ideas up for debate but instead just encourage more entertainment.

Holy crap it didn’t.

Dead silence in the audience.

Except, that is, for one wrinkle, which came after moderator Nancy Karibjanian asked O’Donnell about her well-documented financial woes.

“There’s been lots of discussion in the national media about things my opponent has said or done that I frankly think are a distraction from the core issues that Delawarians ask about.”

Where does that joke fit?

I liked how O’Donnell took forever to answer each question. Twitter was going crazy.

Nancy Karibjanian asked O’Donnell to talk about a recent high court opinion she disagreed with.
O’Donnell paused, then said “Oh gosh. Give me a specific one. I’m very sorry right off the top of my head, I know that there are a lot but, uh, I’ll put it up on my website I promise you.”

They were asked how they would to cut the budget and to be specific instead of saying “fraud, waste and abuse” -– O’Donnell answered fraud, waste and abuse!

O’Donnell tonight totally confused the United States’ history with Afghanistan when talking about the Obama administration’s plan to withdraw troops from the country. She complained that Obama and Democratic nominee Chis Coons are advocating something dangerous by proposing a drawdown of troops begin next summer.

O’Donnell has said she supports the Constitution. However Coon says that in the Constitution, abortion is legal. Does O’Donnell follow and respect such rulings? he asked. O’Donnell has opposed abortion.

O’Donnell says, “This healthcare bill has caused costs to skyrocket. You say it’s partisan bickering, but one out of four Democrats have gone on record saying they oppose this bill. … Uncle Sam has no business coming in the examination room, coming between you and your doctor.” Coons responds, “That’s a great slogan, you toss it around wherever you go.”

Meanwhile, Democrats are running on their stellar performance on the economy, the highly anticipated and welcome Obamacare, the “draining of the swamp”, the explosion of job creation, protecting illegal immigrants, and raising taxes. Yep, I’ll be at the polls at 6 am to vote for more of that.

Democrats aren’t running on the administration’s accomplishments like health-care and financial-regulatory overhaul and the stimulus because “it’s just too hard to explain,” Biden said. “It sort of a branding, I mean you know they kind of want the branding more at the front end.”

Actually Joe, while it may be “hard to explain” but it’s not that hard to understand. The Democrats screwed up, and they are going to pay on Nov 2.

The leftwing media can’t get enough of the Delaware senatorial race. That’s what happen when they focus their energies on the races that make for the best comedy routines. Not so wise, however, as either a political strategy or a journalistic stance, as subsequent events will prove. Who would have thought that the party of Truman and Kennedy would go into a major election and focus on WITCHCRAFT as its biggest issue? But that’s how low the Democrats have sunk.

1) We are at war with a BORDERLESS terrorist ideology, not Afghanistan! Signaling a pre-emptive withdrawl from that effort in any regard guarantees defeat.

2) Her opposition to abortion does not portend a disregard for the Constitution.

3) She gave specific examples – through the use of funding restrictions – as to why Democratic candidates are loathe to campaign on Obamacare.

As Democrats in conservative districts scramble to distance themselves from the national Democratic leadership, Georgia Rep. Jim Marshall outdoes the rest with what’s a cultural attack ad aimed at contrasting him with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“Georgia is a long way from San Francisco,” drawls the narrator, over images of dancing hippies.

“Jim Marshall doesn’t support Nancy Pelosi,” says the narrator, citing a finding that Marshall voted with Republican leaders 65% of the time.”

Of course. Doesn’t everybody?

…Using this formula, at this point in time it is our sense that the GOP will pick up a total of around 65 seats, giving the GOP control of the House (with 242 seats to the Democrats’ 185).

The Senate is easier to visualize but, in some respects, more problematic to project. We continue to believe that it will come down to the West Coast, with the races in California (Boxer and Fiorina) and Washington (Murray and Rossi) holding the key to a Republican takeover. We’ve put Connecticut in the Democrat column and have put the following in the GOP column: KY, MO, NH, PA and WI. The other four true toss-up states are West Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and Illinois, although there are signs that all four are trending GOP at this time. Assuming Republicans win all four of these toss-up states, that leaves the aforementioned two West Coast races. The GOP would have to win one of those “away games” to get to 51 seats in the Senate.

Coons is a typical liberal idiot dolt. Wolf and his dumb liberal female hater moderator companion were both in the get O’Donnell camp. Example… Supreme Court question… what the heck was that? name a recent Supreme Court decision you don’t agree with (moderator didn’t have one in mind) …. O’Donnell says be specific and moderator (that dolt female liberal idiot) didn’t have a clue. This was a pure set up question for Coons. Why? Because for conservatives, there have not been any recent Supreme Court decisions to disagree with. The only decision that was worthy of any attention was the one the liberals and Obama got a hissy fit over and this question was asked so Coons could blather on about how he disagreed. Did the moderators co-ordinate with the Democrats on questions to ask?
Both the moderators were in pure liberal attack O’Donnell mode and considering she had to debate 1against 3, she did great. Another lame stream media moment for the books…. bias in media in a political debate.
Coons is a liberal dolt.

Coons crushed this ignorant moron. Her “jokes” fell flat as nobody laughed plus, I don’t recall seeing her on SNL. She was spoofed by Kristen Wigg. The best part was watching her Palin like brain cramp when asked what Supreme Court decision she disagreed with. This dimwit won’t get near the Senate without a visator’s pass. Her non answer on classified information she had on China, and her ascertion that we were at war with Russia in Afghanistan in the 80′s wa further proof that she’s nothing but a hoople!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we were. How do you think Russia was defeated? Ever heard of “Charlie Wilson’s War?”

The CIA was behind it!

Look it up, child!

Sure it’s always the moderator’s fault when unqualified grifters can’t answer questions about government and governing. O’Donnell got her stupid ass kicked and those defending her are equally mindless. Oh, and those shots from behind were not flattering to that wide load. I couldn’t even see the chair.

Doesn’t matter Roxy. The Democrats are going to get crushed on Nov 2. Hopefully Coons will win in Delaware. Then at least you will have something to cheer about.

We were not at war with Russia. Look that up and stop defending stupid. Unless you have that in common.

This is what she said

“Well if you remember when we were fighting the Soviets over there in Afghanistan in the ’80s and ’90s, we did not finish the job, so now we have a responsibility to finish the job and if you are gonna make these politically correct statements that it’s costing us too much money, you are threatening the security of our homeland.”

roxsteady said:

Actually that is not as dumb as you think it is. Many have said that instead of staying engaged in Afghanistan, the US withdrew all support as soon as the Soviets were defeated. What followed was a destructive civil war which ended in victory for the Taliban. This line of thinking says that if we had helped with the reconstruction of Afghanistan, then perhaps both civil war and Taliban could have been averted.

I’m sure that in the spirit of bipartisanship, which as we all know Pres Obama cherishes, the presidential veto won’t be used indiscriminately.

By the way, this is the description of Charlie Wilson’s war on Wikipedia. You’ll not that it doesn’t say anything about a war waged by the United States against Russia. Even Wikipedia which is famous for being wrong has this one right. Good night nitwit!

“Charlie Wilson’s War is a 2007 American biographical comedy drama film recounting the true story of U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson (D-TX) who partnered with “bare knuckle attitude” CIA operative Gust Avrakotos to launch Operation Cyclone, a program to organize and support the Afghan mujahideen in their resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan”

At least Coons was able to retire one of his opening lines used in the first debate (O’Donnell still had a snowballs chance in hell of winninng then) when he took a shot at Obama – “For many of us who voted for change in 2008, we have not gotten the change that we hoped and worked for” I can imagine Obama hearing about this and saying, “that mother fkr, cut off his campaign funds!”

After Obama’s NYTimes interview he’s gonna have a whole bunch of liberals mad at him.

Coons crushed this ignorant moron. Her “jokes” fell flat as nobody laughed plus, I don’t recall seeing her on SNL. She was spoofed by Kristen Wigg. The best part was watching her Palin like brain cramp when asked what Supreme Court decision she disagreed with. This dimwit won’t get near the Senate without a visator’s pass. Her non answer on classified information she had on China, and her ascertion that we were at war with Russia in Afghanistan in the 80’s wa further proof that she’s nothing but a hoople!

The constitution? Obama was a supposed cosntitutional lawyer and yet he continues to piss on it at will.

She’s not that dumb! I finally found a clip of her in class all you libs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Pk1UYkB3I

Actually that is not as dumb as you think it is. Many have said that instead of staying engaged in Afghanistan, the US withdrew all support as soon as the Soviets were defeated. What followed was a destructive civil war which ended in victory for the Taliban. This line of thinking says that if we had helped with the reconstruction of Afghanistan, then perhaps both civil war and Taliban could have been averted.

Support, not occupation with our own armed forces. It’s not hard to imagine that people want to feel that they are determining the fate and direction of their own nation, rather than being occupied by another country. The presence of our armed forces there will always be seen as foreign occupation. We should have already learned that by now, but somebody had a lot of drones to sell, so let’s stay.

Charlie Wilson’s War is a 2007 American biographical comedy drama film recounting the true story of U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson (D-TX) who partnered with “bare knuckle attitude” CIA operative Gust Avrakotos to launch Operation Cyclone, a program to organize and support the Afghan mujahideen in their resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan”

I expect that Woffie’s performance last night will not help him any in the ratings games. I agree with those who have said that it was a three-on-one debate. I think, from what I have seen (clips only, didn’t watch the whole debate) that Christine did just fine and her numbers will start to increase. But the only poll that counts is the one on 2 November and even though this seat may stay in the D column, others won’t and Woffie will be crying in his beer on election night.

CNN really needs to get it’s act together and regain 2nd place in the ratings game, but Woffie’s performance won’t help with that. I wonder how many complaints CNN will get over Woffie’s debate with Christine.

How did I know that conservatives would say that. O’Donnell was asked questions and, like Palin, refused to answer, choosing instead to demean her opponent. The moderators asked her to stay on topic. They were just as hard on Coons. “I have a response” “Do it in 30 seconds” Guess you missed that.
