Robert Keesler has filed to take on incumbent Gerald Brady (D-4th RD) this fall. While the district is more hospitable to an R than the other city-based districts (the bizarrely-gerrymandered district goes from Wilmington to Hockessin) it’s still a D-leaning district. Registration figures show 8200 D’s; 5097 R’s; and 4537 I’s. Keesler is a new name to me. He has written a couple of entries on the blogs, including our own. IMHO, Gerald Brady is a hack, but he's in a district that has elected him a few times now, and my first impression of Keesler doesn't make me think that he'll have any better luck than Tyler Nixon did vs. Brady. Colin Bonini Files... ...for reelection to his State Senate seat in the district drawn just for him by Tony DeLuca. His official listed name on the ballot is Colin RMJ Bonini. Which, of course, raises the question, what does RMJ stand for? It's contest time!

...but...
Coons has $3 mil in the bank, no opponent, and he keeps asking for money, anyway? Inquiring minds of irked Democrats want to know why
His campaign has basically taken over the Del Dem HQ building in New Castle, and they have been phonebanking every Wednesday and Saturday since February. In fact, I was in a meeting in the conference room at the Del Dem HQ last week, and I got a fundraising call from the Coons campaign from the next room over. There is being prepared, and then there is overkill.
