Copeland Expects Democratic Governor.
And he tries to disassociate himself from the Republican Party as well.
Copeland also attempted to distance himself from his Democratic opponent by saying he, unlike Denn, would be capable of operating separately from the elected governor.
In a news release, Copeland described himself as an “independent voice” for lieutenant governor, and separate from the party. In his statement, Copeland emphasized the separation of the lieutenant governor’s and governor’s offices.
“Citizens expect you to work with the governor — to serve by their side when they are working for policies that truly help the people of Delaware,” Copeland said in the statement. “So yes, no matter who is governor, I will work with him to do what’s best for Delaware.”
Wow. These statements are just devoid of any confidence that Retired Judge Bill Lee can win. So Copeland is covering his bases by saying he will be able to work with Markell or Carney as an “independent voice.” Joining Lee under the bus is the Delaware Republican Party, when Copeland says he will be separate of his party.
And that is hysterical. He is the REPUBLICAN MINORITY LEADER in the Senate. He is the Delaware Republican Party. Indeed, isn’t Copeland the future of the Republican Party?
Politically, what Copeland is doing is trying to make himself palpatable to those voting Democratic for Governor so that they will split tickets. To do that, he has to make voters forget that he is a Republican, because the voters simply do not like Republicans in this day and age.
Charlie Silverspoon, the savior of IPOD!!!!
Send out the pink postcards and make it so.
Also-
I’m very eager to see how Mike Castle runs as an agent of change and non-Republican.
Of course, depending how things go in the Dem primary he might not need to say anything between now and November.
“the voters simply do not like Republicans in this day and age. ”
Hmmmm….how many Republicans got shot lately?
Uh, mockery, it’s the Republicans doing the shooting.
The last sentence of the article is the funniest.
Copeland was joined by fellow Republicans U.S. Rep. Mike Castle, state party Chairman Tom Ross, State Auditor Tom Wagner, state Rep. Gregory F. Lavelle and state Sen. Liane M. Sorenson.
Disassociating oneself? You know that passing hot coffee through one’s nose really hurts.
man I totally would have lost the FSP in under 2 minutes bet on this one.
he must be out meeting with the blogging minds at FSP planning the Mr. Blog charity event with Copeland
Hmmmm….how many Republicans got shot lately?
depends, are you talking about the ones that enlisted to fight the bad guys in AQ
or the ones that got deferrals for Nam?
“Uh, mockery, it’s the Republicans doing the shooting.”
Okay, I’ll admit it’s not an efficient way to solve the registration imbalance…..but every vote counts!
“depends, are you talking about the ones that enlisted to fight the bad guys in AQ

Going for the ‘full retard’ are we?
This is silly, and I don’t always participate in the silly.
