Cites Tim Mullaney’s background, calls him dangerous:
“I represented various people who wore the wire for the FBI back during the years when Tim Mullaney was the county attorney for New Castle County during the first [Tom] Gordon and [Sherry] Freebery administration–that’s when the county was buffeted by FBI investigations, federal corruption charges, criminal proceedings, many civil lawsuits I brought by police officers for the county, FBI informants, and other whistleblowers,” he said. “Tim Mullaney has a big taint on his history, and he would be a terrible attorney general.”
Neuberger is, at best, a mixed bag. For example, he is prepared to demagogue the death penalty issue:
We need a death penalty in place so that a jury of 12 reasonable people–if they feel the situation requires it–can administer the death penalty–otherwise, how are we going to protect the public from the terrible situations that can arise? What if we had a mass killing in Delaware? God forbid.”
OTOH, he represented victims of abuse by the Catholic clergy and he supports stronger laws on sexual harassment.
I think he laid out the fatal flaw of his candidacy with his announcement. He’s running against Tim Mullaney. Odds are better than not that Mullaney, who has not responded to reporters’ requests for comments since his announcement, will not be the Democratic nominee for AG. What will be Neuberger’s raison d’etre if/when Mullaney fades?
Still, he’s a legit candidate, and the R’s will likely also have a primary for AG. Me? Still waiting on Townsend and/or Lynn.
