It’s a certain constituency. That much we do know.
Senate Chicken Caucus?
That defines him well
I think that Coons may have learned the wrong lessons from Carper’s primary win.
He’s ignoring the differences.
(1) Carper has been bringing back federal contracts to Delaware for decades now, and is always there with an oversized check. That gets him support he might not otherwise have.
(2) Kerri’s 35% represents the floor, not the ceiling of progressive support.
(3) Jess Scarane is starting earlier, has a team in place that Kerri had to build from scratch, and has a real sharp message that I think will resonate.
Meaning, I’m all for Chris getting fellated at the annual Chamber tongue-bathing.
Eeww
Carper also has the VFW vote locked up, Coons doesn’t. I think that population is the margin of difference in Carper vs. Coons approval levels.
That’s right. His ‘career’ as a military officer. Forgot about that.
Agree with El Som’s 1, 2, 3…
One quibble. I’m not 100% sold on #1. Carper is more established and has generated more pork for the local lord’s, but Coons has done everything like a good little boy as well. Same establishment vaneer is usually enough.
We’ll gauge that vaneer as much as possible though. And as stated in #3, we have months. It’s on.
I’m talking like AMTRAK and the post office. There are specific constituencies who get that Carper has delivered for them. Yes, the Chamber knows that BOTH have delivered for them, but that could well become a negative. In fact, it probably did for Carper last time, but he had collected years of those chits, and they paid off. Coons doesn’t have that.
Agree. Certainly longer and deeper ties. But does that gap between Carper and Coons translate to anything tangible? Not sold on that question.
Don’t forget DAFB.
Also, Chamber people probably aren’t registered as Democrats anyway. They vote for him in the general. Same with VFW folks, for that matter. Union folks, like AMTRAK, and lawyers are his primary-election constituency.
