Christine O'Donnell - Chris Coons debate: Experience
Chris Coons, in his closing remarks, said Christine O’Donnell was good at running for office, but not at running any thing. He then went on to tout his own record as a county executive.
What Delaware needed, he said, was a senator with “real hands-on experience.” He can offer the state such experience, he said.
He also said that, unlike his opponent, Christine O’Donnell, he has lengthy experience in the private and public sector.
The candidates, who never flagged in energy during the 90-minute contest, looked like they could have continued debating the issues before the audience at the University of Delaware. The moderators, however, announced the evening was over.
They will debate again next week.

Oh sorry. I must have wandered into the wrong website. I thought this was the LA Times blog. But it can't be. I'm finding more coverage here of the Delaware Senate debate, than the Whitman-Brown debate, the Boxer-Fiorina race, the Cooley-Kwhatever race, or any other California race you wish to name. Why? There are a lot of important things going on in California, and this is what you're spending pixel after pixel on? Please explain.
(AM responds: Wow. Look around. The California politics blog is elsewhere on this site. This is the national politics blog. Thanks for stopping by though and taking the time to leave a comment.)

Chistine can join Palin at the library and get those answers and get back to us later.

Not troubled by the fact that Biden said that Roosevelt got on TV after the stock market crash ....
Or that Obama can't even remember the freakin' Golden Rule ... He recently said, "treating others as they would treat me" when asked to describe his faith.
But libs are real concerned about a conservervative who can't immediately name a decision they disagree with recently when the court has been dominated by conservatives recently?
Moreover, with 15 million Americans out of work, do you think all this unused potential out there is sitting around debating the merits of Kelo vs. New London City ... or are they freakin' out over a government that has ground business activity in this country to a practical standstill?
Watching that debate with two liberal moderators posing typically liberal questions you wouldn't even gather any sense that the country is about to sweep the Democrats out of power by a wide margin. They stuck to the ridiculously irrelevant lib talking points.

I'm sorry...wasn't this a debate?
Perhaps I was mistaken... as this article tells how Coons attacked O'Donnell but doesn't mention AT ALL what she said in return...
Glad we all get to hear ONE side of the story!
Seems alittle "one-sided" to me.
