There is an email going around from Coons’ field director, Brian Holajter, in which poor Brian is freaking out. It is hard to know if it is a genuine freakout or a showy freakout intended to scare the troops into re-doubling their efforts to keep the GOP’s favorite Democrat in the Senate. If it is not real, it should be.
I’ve mentioned this before but I think the overlapping progressive primary challengers are likely to boost turnout in New Castle county and help Scarane. It is hard to imagine a Marie Pinkney voter “splitting the ticket” to vote for Coons. The same goes for supporters of Larry Lambert, Madinah Wilson-Anton, Eric Morrison, Coby Owens, or Shané Darby.
Sure it would have been nice if these campaigns were able to engage in the true canvasing that is the lifeblood of a grassroots campaign, but even without the door knocking, these are the districts with activated progressives:
State Senate, District 13
State House, District 7
State House, District 26
State House, District 27
These are the districts that can contribute tipping point turn out to topple Coons and his garbage politics. In part 2 of this post I’ll dig into turnout in this districts and try to let Brian know where his freakout meter should be right now.
