Retired Judge Bill Lee held a swanky fundraiser at the “opulent Montchanin Road home” of Irenée and Barbara du Pont last evening. According to the Lee campaign, 215 people attended at $250 a head, which according to my math, means that Lee raised $53,750.00 last night. Lee admitted that fundraisers such as these are the only way he can hope to defeat either Markell or Carney in the fall.
I suppose that means he is not raising money online or from direct mail from ordinary middle class Delawareans he wishes to come out of retirement to govern. He needs opulent fundraisers in the homes of the obscenely rich.
