O'Donnell's a contender says ... Chris Matthews?

Broken clock theory applies here naturally, but it's still interesting to hear Chris Matthews, Eugene Robinson and Howard Fineman caution Democrats they dismiss Christine O'Donnell's candidacy at their peril.  Fineman quotes a source who suggests the race will come down to single digits which is far different than the predictions from Rove and his Greek chorus.

Predictably, Democrats having been spiking the ball on this election all day.  I seem to remember an election in Massachusetts that was impossible to lose recently.  Fortunately for O'Donnell, Democrats have already begun repeating the same mistakes they made in Massachusetts.  Talk about your kiss of death:
 

"I'm going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He's my pet. He's my favorite candidate," Reid said.

"Let me tell you about him: A graduate of Yale Divinity School. Yale Law School. A two-time national debate champion. He represents two-thirds of the state now, in an elected capacity. I don't know if you've ever seen him or heard him speak, but he is a dynamic speaker. I don't mean loud or long; he's a communicator. So that's how I feel about Delaware. I've always thought Chris Coons is going to win. I told him that and I tried to get him to run. I'm glad he's running. I just think the world of him. He's my pet."

Keep talking Harry Reid, keep talking. Pay no attention to the tingly-types behind the MSNBC curtain:
