This woman has a hard time with telling the truth.

Citing "Mental Anguish," Christine O'Donnell Sought $6.9 Million in Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Against Conservative Group | The Weekly Standard

More titillation from Horror in the Hedges.
Her real drawbacks as a candidate are numbers and shrubbery. O’Donnell has had a series of financial problems, and her disclosure form says she earned only $5,800 last year, although she claims she had other income that didn’t require disclosing. She said for years that she was a 1993 graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, but it turns out she actually got her degree ... last week. And a conservative radio host was compelled to correct her when she claimed that she had won two counties in a 2008 race against Senator Joe Biden. That would have been quite a trick, given that Delaware has only three counties and she lost the election by 65 percent to 35 percent.

“I meant tied,” she said, forcing the host to point out: “You didn’t tie him either.”

How about Rasmussen, will that make you happier?

Coons-47%
O'Donnell-36%

Of course, if the Pubs had stuck with Castle, things would look much different:

Castle-48%
Coons-37%

Regarding the whole idea of this thread...

WHO CARES

Vote for who you believe in. If no one shares your beliefs, vote for the person that will be least destructive to you and the country.

Don't pay attention to professional pollsters. Just educate yourselves and vote.

Yup. The "educated pollsters" thought that our district was pretty much locked up. As of a week ago, they were wrong.

Like I said before, people are going to be SHOCKED on just how well she does in the coming weeks. The move to unseat the establishment is underestimated. After all, this lady won even with an establishment machine running against her in the primaries. Plus, she is endorsed by the GOA which is much more credible among libertarian groups than the NRA.

The educated pollsters still do believe your district is locked up, and don't change their minds due to a campaign internal poll...... but lets leave that discussion to that thread.

It's changed to "in play" sweetheart. Anything not "safe Dem" or "safe Rep" is in play, and RealClearPolitics has changed the status as of last week, probably based on the poll that you dismissed. Sowwwwwwwwy.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2010 - North Carolina 4th District - Lawson vs. Price

You're right, we'll leave that to the Lawson thread sweetie pie.

Where does it say it's "in play"? It's says "Likely Dem".

Anything not safe is in play, period. That's how it works. When a race moves to "in play", external pollsters often begin polling the district or state. People were laughing at me when it was "safe Dem". Now that it's not, they are backpeddling by saying it's the same thing or that it doesn't matter, depending on whom you speak to. Better yet, since Price counted on straight party ticket zombies when he was safe, now he actually has to appear in front of the camera, fumbling with index cards and looking like the one-dimensional candidate that he is. Even his own supporters don't discuss the candidate but instead lump the candidates into the party. This is because Price is a rubber stamper and irrelevant.

REAL CLEAR POLITICS MOVES OUR RACE TO "IN PLAY" | Lawson for Congress

If you have further questions or concerns, let's discuss this in the Lawson thread.

What is she claiming as her qualifications for being Senator? (Her current website consists solely of one page where she's asking for money. I guess the GOP leaders are furiously redesigning it right now in order to make her look credible.)
