When I was looking at why Sarah McBride will defeat Tom Carper and thereby be our next US Senator, all of the posts casually assumed that McBride would easily win in the general election. I take it as a given that the Democratic Primary is the election for statewide offices, and the moribund Delaware GOP can be ignored for the a-holes and lunatics that they are.
But is that a safe assumption? And if so where did the all-out Democratic statewide hegemony come from? To examine (if not answer) those questions I may take another multi-post project looking at political registrations in Delaware since 1996 and attempting to map any registration changes to candidates and current events to see if the Dem hegemony is real and if real, relatively permanent.
