Q: Is Scarane for real?

Even while contending with a press blackout from local media, Jess Scarane and her team have built some amazing momentum in their campaign to unseat The GOP's favorite Democrat, Chris Coons. Just take a look at some of these numbers.
  • 100 active volunteers.
  • knocked over 10,000 doors,
  • routinely turning out 20-25 volunteers,
  • regularly knocking on doors in Dover, New Castle, Middletown, Newark, Wilmington, and Sussex.
    • This campaign is for real.   To put it in perspective, they've accomplished all of this at a point in time BEFORE Kerri Harris even started her campaign.   The 10,000 doors knocked on to date matches the number of doors the Kerri Harris campaign knocked on overall. Primary day is now 206 days from today. The entirety of the Harris campaign was 208 days. Scarane essentially has an entire Harris campaign of time left to win this. In all due respect to Scarane, it should be noted that some of this amazing momentum is related to how deeply unpopular Coons is. Unlike Harris, Scarane has the advantage of running against a person who has spent his entire time in DC building his popularity exclusively among media and business elites in DC. So this campaign is for real, and this primary is very winnable. On Monday DL will launch its online fundraiser which will allow you to take part by making a donation that will be matched. But if you don't want to wait until Monday, you can start today. To keep the momentum rolling, the campaign still needs people for canvass shifts, phone bank shifts. This is your opportunity to join a campaign that is rewriting the conventional wisdom about what is possible. Get more information sign up here: jessfordelaware.com

    Coming Soon: Online Fundraiser for Jess Scarane

    Klobs and Pete say that you should vote for them because Coons will stop President Bernie's or President Warren's initiatives in the Senate. That's a dumb argument. The notion that we have to accept a US Senate hamstrung by Coons is false on its face. The idea that progressive initiatives are impossible because Coons and other corporate lackeys in the Senate will block them is something Delaware has a big say in this year. This year we have an opportunity to lead the country in changing the Senate by voting in Jess Scarane. Turfing out Coons, a vocal critic of a government that works for the people, will be the shot heard round the world. Soon I'll be posting about the amazing momentum Scarane has already built across the state, and I'll be asking you to help the momentum continue to build. Help take down Coons by making a donation to Jess' campaign and I will match it. Details to follow.

    I didn’t watch. Winners? Losers? What does it matter when it all feels so dumbed down. Television is a dumb media. Medium (?)
