From the News Journal:
Lee took several opportunities to jab Markell — saying Markell’s support of charter schools was not wholehearted because the state teachers union opposes charters.
He also wondered if the three-term state treasurer is the one to bring real change to the state.
“We need real change, not just the same people in different jobs,” Lee said.
Hahahaha. Lee, who has run for this job now in three consecutive elections, is saying we need new people?
Bernard Malik, a Republican from Newark, said he thought Lee did OK, but “could have done much better. He came on a little slow, but this is his first debate.”
Markell’s defeat of Carney, though, could be a big boost for Lee’s candidacy, Malik said.
How? The only way this was going to be a close election is if Carney had won, because then Lee could simply run against the Minner-Carney administration. With Markell having already done that and won, Lee is left with only offering his plans. And they pale in comparison to Markell’s.
Sussex County attorney John Brady, Republican candidate for insurance commissioner, stood up on the platform so the audience could verify that he was “the biggest candidate.”
“And I will give you more per square inch!,” he said.
I like self deprication. I do it myself. But we get it. John Brady is fat. We have all accepted it and moved on. Can we find out what you are going to do for the Delaware consumer, please?
