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.

good job totally avoiding the initial post and my follow up. Very spence-ish of you. So O'Donell "thrust herself " in the spotlight? How'd she do that? A Tea Party member upsets a DE republican. You sure about that? I know she was supported by SOME of them, but was she a member? The Tea Party is not a political party, O'Donnell is a republican, thus thats why she was in the primary.
WHy is this race, so, so, so , so much more important than the other races? Why????

You're initial post was rather fully addressed in my initial reply. What was avoided? Why the liberal media is trying to make her look dumb and prevent any momentum? If that was truly a question and not just your typical bitching about Democrats, have you ever paid attention during an election?

You're right in terms of affiliation. She's a candidate strongly endorsed by the Tea Party would have been better to say. Trying to take over the nomination from an 18-year veteran and then winning is "thrusting herself into the spotlight".

You have major issues if you truly believe the proportion of news coverage something gets denotes its importance. The relative lack of coverage about the 9 Americans killed in Afghanistan today doesn't make it any less important. However, once the brush fire of news is picked up and turns into a blaze, politicians have to address it - along with the multiple people paraded onto news networks and tossed viewer-friendly, softball questions.

nope, I guess I dont pay attention to elections. there are 37 senate elections for the 100 seats on 11/2. Christine O'Donnell is the ONLY noteworthy one according to CNN. Foolish of me to question why.

Quote - You have major issues if you truly believe the proportion of news coverage something gets denotes its importance.

Ahh - not its importance, ITS INFLUENCE!!!! By linking the tea party with O'Donell and the right wing, and by filling the news with stories about her (whether true or untrue) serves the purpose of underming the movement. Its intentional. Same reason the NAACP went after the tea party. They are PURPOSELY trying to make a mockery fo O'Donnell, hence the Palin 2, the sequel. They need something to bash to take the INDEPENDENTs attention away from the issues!
Libs must be running out of things to wack off to. Nothing better than bashing people they disagree with and calling them narrow minded.

Pretty much one and the same now:
New tea party: energy, money and detente with GOP - Yahoo! News

"Separate tea party groups still squabble over roles for Republican insiders within the movement, but the conservative activists and GOP stalwarts have reached a truce for the common goal of defeating Democrats, heeding calls for unity from Republicans including Sarah Palin."

Don't know why Republicans would want to directly associate themselves with a bunch of reckless, racist hillbillies. YeeeeHaaawwwww!!
