The nationally televised debate between Republican Christine O'Donnell and Democrat Chris Coons tackles a number of issues and even turns downright nasty at times.
hris Coons came under fire and was asked to defend his record on raising taxes in New Castle County.
"One of the attacks my opponent's made repeatedly is that I've driven the county to the edge of bankruptcy. Nothing could be further from the truth. New Castle County has a surplus, which has made it possible for us to continue to have a AAA bond rating."
That prompts O'Donnell to jump on Coons' credibility.
"You inherited that good rating."
Coons then jabs at O'Donnell's lack of political experience.
"Every time you get a bond rating, you earn the bond rating Ms. O'Donnell's not familiar with how bond ratings work." But she didn't let it get her down.
"How can you justify cutting our policemen pay when you wastefully spent so much money appeasing the special interest groups?"
O'Donnell headed into Wednesday night's debate down by double digits in every major poll, and University of Delaware political science professor Dr. David Wilson says her performance last night won't likely change those numbers.
