Is it just me or has almost every primary race in Delaware devolved into a negative-fest? Chip Flowers posted the following message on Facebook yesterday:
Another great week for our campaign! Our polls show a strong lead and supporters of both of my opponents have now resorted to stealing our signs! Seriously! 250 signs stolen this week alone! Imagine, if they steal signs what will they do with $3 billion of your money… Thank you for the great support and let’s show them on Sept. 14th how to win with class!
Is he going to release this poll or is this a bluff? Let me see if I can keep up with the charges in this race: Flowers has claimed that someone made harassing robocalls claiming to be from his campaign, that Jones-Potter’s campaign wouldn’t let him speak at Wilmington RD committees, that Jones-Potter’s campaign has passed out literature about domestic violence incidents and that someone is stealing his signs. Jones-Potter’s camp is claiming the Flowers campaign leaked information about her city contract to embarrass her. Flowers also claims she is ducking debates.
Seems a bit extreme for a position that is not all that powerful.
Korn vs. Matlusky – I haven’t seen much on this one – is this one relatively clean?
Walsh vs. Navarro – As we’ve discussed before, Mike Walsh is very unhappy about being challenged. Navarro has accused Walsh of being out-of-touch with modern technology and behind the times. Walsh has said that Navarro is unqualified for the job and couldn’t in good conscience vote for him.
What about other primaries? What are you seeing? (The Castle-O’Donnell nuclear primary aside).
