I will first post the results, and all throughout the day as we rub the amazement from our eyes, we will discuss the vast implications of last night’s landslide. My first thought is that the Delaware Republican Party is dead. Literally. I am shocked that Copeland lost so horrifically. He is their future, and he barely beat out Karen Hartley Nagle’s vote total. My God. If I am a Delaware Republican this morning, suicide is on my mind.
