In the spirit of Dominique who is learning up on Delaware polticos, I want to flesh out who calls the shots and who is who’s bitch in Delaware politics.

I’ll begin, but warn you that what follows if the product of pure speculation. (That is where the “open source” part comes in. Help me out and we’ll have a document for the ages.)

Joe Biden has the most juice in Delaware. Directly underneath him are Tom Carper and Beau Biden. (Beau due to his close connection to Joe) Under them there is a tier that includes Carney and Markell. I think John Daniello probably resides on this tier as well.

I would say that Matt Denn is in the “club” but at a lesser station than everyone previously mentioned but a slightly higher station than Thurman Adams who is at the top of the next tier. Adams looks down on the rest of the GA, party officials, Sam Latham, Theo Gregory and Jim Paoli.
