Alan Levin is waiting to get the turn out numbers from Delaware’s Presidential primary.
To be honest it isn’t a dumb move. Just look at the New Hampshire turnout numbers to see why:
The turnout results were dramatic – 50,000 more Granite Staters voted in the Democratic primary than the Republican primary, with nearly 280,000 voting in the Democratic race and only 229,000 turning out for Republicans. This was the first time since the establishment of the modern New Hampshire primary system that more people voted in the Democratic primary than the Republican primary when both were contested.
Like 2006, this year is shaping up to be a Democratic blowout and playing road kill does not interest the drug store millionaire. That is why he and his advisors are looking toward the Presidential turnout numbers. They want to see if there is enough gas in the DE GOP’s tank to at least keep the race out of laughing stock territory.
Word is that he has been resolutely noncommittal and will beg off for “health reasons” if it looks like the party of Lincoln has totally lost its luster.
The Bottom Line: Mike P’s stock just ticked up.
