Wonky Wednesday: Jack Markell’s Running for Governor
As if there had been any doubt, Jack Markell called Democratic Party leaders today to let them know he plans to run for governor.
The News Journal, Delaware Grapevine and Alan Loudell of WDEL all have the story. Celia quotes John Carney as not saying that a primary would be a disaster:
“It will be an energetic campaign. At the end of the day, the people decide, and they usually get it right.”
Naturally, TommyWonk has the rundown.
(The poll had a bug that allowed people to vote multiple times from the same IP. I’ll put up a new one next thursday.)

Vote “No” to Minner’s hand-puppet.
Thanks kavips. Fixed it.
“It’s a race a lot of people anticipated would happen, but I’m convinced that when it’s all said and done, there still could be a unified Jack and John ticket,” said Rhett D. Ruggerio, the Democratic national committeeman.

whatever
I actually would like to think so, Nancy, but with Denn and Blount also runnning for Lt. Gov., Carney will have nowhere to go once he loses the primary. Maybe Insurance Commissioner?
