I am here to tell you I think that pundits and party officials are making a mistake by framing Delaware as an easy win.
My money says that it is 100% feasible that O'Donnell will win Delaware and it's stupid to think she can't. There is a reason why she won the primary and it isn't because of ideology or any of the other things that people have been saying. It's because she is doing the work, number one.
My experience is, here in NC, that the average person does not care as much about issues as they do about personality, now. Almost all of the items used to attack her, that even Rove listed, are items that the average person can relate to... not being able to pay bills. She frames it that way when she is asked and it's probably the truth.
People view those attacks on her as an indication that the attacker can't relate to being poor or having bills they can't pay. The average person probably has people in their family or friends with those exact same struggles and, with the current political climate, the only qualification she needs is sincerity. Go ask any voter if they know the resume of any politician... I guarantee that the response will be almost unanimous that they don't.
Before anyone attacks me... I am a loyal Democrat and worked on Obama's campaign, as a volunteer, here in Cabarrus County, NC.
UPDATE: Thanks for correcting me on shoo-in. :)
UPDATE 2: O'Donnell pulls in a million bucks overnight >> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
