Delaware has significantly more Democrats than Republicans, with a registered voter advantage of 100,000 out of 620,000 voters overall in the state. Consequently, the pool of people picking the Republican candidate was pretty small overall and more influenced by small changes in electoral behavior. The establishment Republican candidate was polling about 12 points ahead of the Dem. candidate however O'Donnel is polling about 13 pts behind the Dem candidate, hence the argument that the seat flips from an easy Republican pickup (the seat is currently occupied by a Dem) to a seat likely kept in Democrats hands.
