O'Donnell Cuts Ad 30 Minutes Long
Talking Points Memo reports:
WILMINGTON, DE -- It ain't over 'til it's over, says Christine O'Donnell. The embattled Republican nominee for Senate here in The First State told a crowd of supporters from her tea party base not to count her out just yet -- despite polls showing Democrat Chris Coons cruising to an easy win. O'Donnell says she's counting on first-time voters and a new 30-minute TV closing argument (airing three times on statewide TV in the next 24 hours) to pull off what most observers say would be a miracle win.
At a Delaware stop for the Tea Party Express bus tour -- the PAC-funded group that helped bring you such quotable tea party notables as Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle, Alaska GOP Senate nominee Joe Miller and others -- O'Donnell called on her supporters not to give up hope.
"We're neck and neck in the polls," O'Donnell told the crowd of perhaps several hundred at Wilmington's waterfront development on the Christina River. She then told the crowd she's seen polls showing her "up three points" and "down 20" points in the past couple days. The TPM Poll Average shows Coons leading 55.2-37.7.
