So Johnny, there are HUNDREDS of mid-term elections across our 50 grand states and the ONLY one making national headlines is the one with the dingy, right wing, no-experienced, semi-attractive woman? There is no other story out there? How about Chucky Rangel running with pending CORRUPTION CHARGES? Aint that front page news?
This is all driven by the Media! If this was CA, NY, TX, FL - you know states that MATTER, maybe there would be a story, but this is freakin Delaware!

The one making national headlines THIS WEEK is the one who has thrust herself into the spotlight and since been picked up by major news outlets, not to mention a Tea Party member upsets the longest serving Representative for DE. I'll agree this is partly media driven because people are too stupid to go do their own research and allow the networks to filter politics for them. Many turn on whichever network aligns best with their opinion and don't question what comes out of it - be it CNN or FoxNews.
You must not be paying any attention to politics if you think any state's US Senators or Representatives don't matter. Remember that clusterf#$k of a healthcare bill that was passed thanks to exactly enough votes?
O'Donnell might be preferred by the DE's Republicans, but it's the Independents that choose elections. I don't know the specifics on DE's voting population but I do know that the latest Rasmussen report shows that O'Donnell has quite an uphill battle to win, whereas Mike Castle had a significant preference over Chris Coons.
