Does Governor Markell finally have an opponent?

Filed in National by on November 6, 2011

Rumors have it over on the Dark Side that Eric Buckson, son of the former 18 day Governor David Buckson and 4th District Representative for Kent County Levy Court, may run for Governor himself. Buckson has been on the Kent County Levy Court (for those who live in the state’s other two counties, a Levy Court is like a County Council) since 2006. He is also employed by the Polytech School District as their Athletic Director and Attendance Officer.

Initially, Buckson intended to run for Lt. Governor in 2008 but bowed out after Charlie Lamot duPont Copeland quixotically decided to make the race. I wonder if that is going to happen again.

  1. …and Delaware collectively says “who?”

  2. Anon says:

    Unstable I, that’s why he is running. He gets his name out and points for taking one for the team. When Republicans have a legitimate shot, his name will be at the top of the list.

    Yes, he haves.

    Instead of LOL Cats, I think DD was going for the LOL Delaware Republicans vibe.

    Edit: And WTF is an Attendance Officer?

  5. Delaware Dem says:

    Ugh. Thanks anon.

    Cassandra, it is proof that I need to finish my coffee before posting.

  7. cassandra_m says:

    I hear you on that.

    But putting “I can haz Woodburn?” on this guy’s picture would be plenty funny to me.

  8. heragain says:

    I have to point out that I saw plenty of “Who” Democratic candidates for Bill Roth’s seat before we actually got someone in there.

    I take all elections seriously. Glen Urquhart, really? Yet it happened.

  9. I wonder if you did a survey of Delaware voters how many would actually recognize the name of Glen Urquhart.

    Name recognition aside, his double dipping will be a problem within his own party.

    “school district employee with part time levy court job seeks full time employment at the State of Delaware.”

    Tea Baggers are gonna love that. Not

  11. cassandra_m says:

    The teajadis won’t care that one of their own is double dipping. They only care about it when Democrats do it.

  12. SussexAnon says:

    I disagree. Here in Sussex, Booth is going to have a primary again, from a ‘bagger, and double dipping is one of the reasons.

  13. anon says:

    Better hope he wasn’t one of those administrators who’s been getting raises while classroom supplies get cut.

  14. MJ says:

    St. Bodie Girl is going to primary Booth again, but after the crap with the sheriff, he’s shot himself in the white high heels.
