Calling the special election to fill Joe Biden's seat in the Senate "a sleeper race," Fox News analyst Trish Turner discussed the series of factors that have helped close the gap on Mike Castle... most notably, Chris himself.
"The 46-year old county executive clearly has an uphill climb, but a number of factors are tilting in his favor, factors that make this a race to watch. Coons is from Delaware's most populous of its three counties in a blue state that voted for Obama in 2008 by 67 percent, and Coons is a strong orator with a dynamic family picture and an exuberant energy that will make it possible for him to get around this small state and without spending a lot of cash in doing so."
A recent poll that showed Chris has cut Castle's lead by more than half, "has national Democrats smiling," Turner wrote.
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Senator Robert Menendez weighed in, saying "I think it is a race that people aren't paying attention to and that we have a tremendous opportunity to win for a variety of reasons. Coons has cut the lead in half based on pure shoe leather...He is a dynamic candidate, a bundle of energy."
