Hilarious. In the lead to the Markell vs. Carney story, the News Journal acknowledged that there is no such thing as a state wide Republican Party.
State Treasurer Jack Markell called Democratic Party leaders today to tell them he will run for governor, setting up the first Democratic primary for governor since 1992.
With the move, Markell rejects a deal Democratic Party leaders proposed — that Markell run for lieutenant governor and allow Lt. Gov. John C. Carney Jr. to run unopposed for the state’s top elected office.
Unopposed. Let’s face – he is right. Whoever wins this thing is the next Governor of Delaware.
