One other thing that was driven home for me Saturday. The Democratic Party is fueled by an old-guard combination of union leaders and farmer/firemen Dixiecrats. I didn’t see a whole lot of “movement liberals” running around. Markell has no chance of winning a primary against that.
Well….in districts like the 9th – and Kent County to be sure.
