Alby posted a link dealing with the UK vote in the open thread. Interesting stuff, and a lot that may play out in our upcoming Delaware elections. The whole “something beats nothing” comes to mind.
Carney and the Dems are shaping up to be the party of nothing. Carney doesn’t even have the low hanging fruit of Gay Marriage, as it’s all been picked by Markell. Meanwhile the Dem house caucus, and Brian Townsend’s championing of the CZA gutting make it impossible for “Democrat” to mean anything coherent, so Dem challengers to R incumbents will be stymied unless they have their own charisma or some kind of locally stirring manifesto.
Bottom Line: I see Republicans making big gains this mid-term and taking back the Gov’s Mansion in the next cycle.
Who needs republicans when you have Delaware Democrats?
Well when the real R’s come in they’ll certainly find a bunch of “Democrats” falling all over themselves to compromise and be bi-partisan.
I certainly have very little interest in seeing Carney re-elected, that’s for sure. But Lavelle walking out on a simple “LGBT pride month” declaration oughtn’t go unchallenged. Although both those races won’t be until 2020.
If Carney legalized pot he’d be governor for life.
Carney and D’s in a real bind on prevailing wage. R’s playing the hard card on the budget. Looks like the R’s have the leverage they need with 10 R Senate votes holding together.
you are crazy, the D versus R registration is HUGE almost double and in a Presidential year the turnout hurts the R’s
bottom line the D Governor does not have to accomplish anything to get re elected
plus the kind of R the R’s need would never be allowed to win
R candidate for GOV must be:
someone who does not hate labor
veteran
not in elective office now
knows the Chamber of Commerce are 80% weasels
no business interests in Delaware
from Delaware
