Drew Volturo of the Delaware State News, whose reporting on Adgate has been spectactular, has a story up today indicating that the Delaware Democratic Party is about to spend $11,000 more of our money to further divide the party.
Already facing criticism for spending thousands on a radio ad touting Lt. Gov. John C. Carney’s role in bringing an offshore wind farm to the state, the Delaware Democratic Party has spent about $11,000 more to purchase additional airtime for the commercial.
The decision to air the ads has drawn the ire of Democratic lawmakes, officials, and rank-and-file Democrats for spending party m oney on a candidate who is involved in a gubernatorial primary against state Treasurer Jack A. Markell.
…
More than $25,000 has been spent to air the ads, and using those funds in a Democratic primary takes it away from its intended purpose, defeating Republicans in November, said Progressive Democrats for Delaware director Rebecca Young.
Ms. Young delivered a letter from the party subgroup Monday to party officials asking them to “reverse this decision” and stay out of the primary monetarily.
“I talked to (party chair) John Daniello when I delivered the letter and he said he woudl respond,” Ms. Young said Wednesday. “It looks like he has.”
Indeed. My guess is Daniello, and the whole party establishment, knows they will be outsed from their jobs at the Party if Markell wins. Damn right they will. So they are doubling down on their party hack, John Carney.
