This morning on The Daily Rundown, Delaware's Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons, whose race has gotten new national attention since Christine O'Donnell's upset victory, declared his independence.
A week ago, Majority Leader Harry Reid was quoted calling Coons his "pet" and his "favorite candidate."
Today, Coons called that quote "a very unfortunate choice of words by Senator Reid."
"I'm no one's pet," Coons said, "and I intend to be an independent voice in the United States Senate."
Coons also said he disagrees with administration policy on offshore drilling and the Troubled Asset Relief Fund -- the bailout of banks begun during the Bush administration which has become a popular target on the campaign trail.
The "pet" quote has already been used against Coons in attack ads -- and got a mention from O'Donnell on conservative Sean Hannity's show last night.

Does O'Donnell have any room to say anyting about anything or anyone? Until she says it in the media, not just the 'pet' of the righties media- ALL the media, I say she needs to keep her silliness to herself.
"Mice with Human branins", indeed!

"Mice with Human branins", indeed!
Indeed! Coons is not a pet. Another human with a mouse brain , Glenn Beck, said Coons is a Marxist.
Glenn Beck is MY favorite pet (ROCK).
Beverly, you might want to read up on t he subject. Coons himself proclaimed himself a Marxist while in college. So, I guess Beck was reiterating what the Coons himself said.
Coons article in college was in response to someone else who jokingly referred to him as a "Marxist". He was referring to the joke, not proclaiming himself a Marxist.
I had not heard of the "pet" comment. I'll bet Patty Murray was very jealous.
Beverly, did you mean "brainns"?
It took you a week to decide to respond to that statement? Wow, wow, wow. I'm obviously not lambasting the Democrats for poor leadership as often as I should be.
Hehe..Let the games begin!...
It doesn't make much difference since Harry probably won't be around to take him to the vet after November.
He is Reid's bearded Marxist pet for sure.
The man is a Marxist. His state is bankrupt. He has to go. Another of the long , long , long establishment candidates. We don't need Marxists to run our states. Time for him to go.
He is not a Marxist.... Our State is not Bankrupt... I am a republican that supported Castle. Now I am voting for Coons. I know him and his family and in Our State, we will decide who represents us. And just a little hint... It won't be the poor version of the intellectually bankrupt Wasilla Hillbilly. Delaware is a moderate state. The crazies live in southern Delaware and it might as well be Alabama down there. But New Castle has 3/5th of the population and O'Donnell won't even have her own party voting for her.... She won't get 42% of the vote...... A lost seat for the Repubs... You see here, in the mainstream section of our state, we vote for people and not party. That is how Mike won soooo many elections even when Dems were wiping the repubs in the past..... Senator Coons........ get used to it....
Coone referred to himself as a bearded marist. Notice that none of Obama's lap dogs remember this .
And that statement was made HOW many years ago? And we're not supposed to mention things O'Donnell said as recently as '07? Hmmmm......
Coons article in college was in response to someone else who jokingly referred to him as a "Marxist". He was referring to the joke, not proclaiming himself a Marxist. Try some further research.
There is NO room in any state for a MARXIST politician ! Send him to Harry Ried to take to the kennel !!!
I never heard of a pet coon. Reid screws up as much as Biden.
I've never heard of one either, but I know a guy that used to say someone was 'dizzier than a pet coon" all the time. Never knew what it meant, until John McCain selected the 'ideal' running mate a few years ago.
Hillary/Pelosi 2012!
