I'll respond . . .

I think Coons said he became a Democrat in college because of the influence of a Communist professor. I believe also he (Coons) called himself a "bearded Marxist". Don't have links, just going by what I've heard/read.

In all honesty .... Manchin sounds half reasonable and will vote with conservatives moreso than lib's....... it is almost a semi-pick-up

I have tons of links but not worth the time right now --------- he is a complete loser.

Agreed. I like him. He probably won't vote with the party most of the time.


Also, if O'Donnell would not have won the primary, Coons would have certainly lost.

Now if Reid would just lose. A Reid-Kilroy-Strickland loss and Pelosi losing the Speaker tag would be a dream night.

Mandel winning is complete bullshit. Only thing he ran on was "I'm a marine so you should vote for me"

I fell sorry for this state with the leadership we have now. Thank god we still have Sherrod Brown

Heard this stat tonight: The average senate pick up for the party out of power is 3.5 seats. Conservatives should pick up at least 6, if not more. Manchin sounds like half of a conservative....he might be a good dude. Sounds like a complete repudiation of Obama. We'll see what the messiah says tomorrow from his teleprompter. I'm expecting more instructions for conservatives to ride in the back of the car he's driving over the abyss.
