Harry Reid: Coons, 'My Pet,' Will Win

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday predicted to The Hill that Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons will safely win the Nov. 2 general election against GOP nominee Christine O'Donnell.

Reid talked up the New Castle County executive following a memorial ceremony on the Capitol's east steps to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. O'Donnell on Tuesday night won the GOP nomination to face Coons in November — a result that has split the national Republican Party.

But Reid said Coons would have won even if Rep. Mike Castle (R) had prevailed over O'Donnell.

"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.

"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."

Well Harry has been wrong on every occasion so I think she has a great chance.

the fact that Harry calls him his "pet" should be enough to get just about anybody to run in the other direction.

Castle was by far better and would of won, but now it definitely will be a win for the democrats

Once it comes out that Coons calls himself a bearded Marxist she should surpass him.

Coons past is full of corruption. He is a marxist. Wake up Delaware. Christine promised to vote no and that should be enough to get her elected. The Dems don't read the bills anyway - just vote with the party.
