I have worried about my triumphalism around the idea that DEGOP is basically defunct statewide and that “the Dem primary is the election.” These worries continue to be unfounded.
There is no statewide GOP in Delaware.
Not a single Republican candidate collected more than 148,000 votes.
| LEE MURPHY | Republican – REP | 138,177 | 42.97 % |
| JULIANNE E. MURRAY | Republican – AG | 147,353 | 46.17 % |
| JANICE LORRAH | Republican – Auditor | 145,145 | 45.8 % |
| GREG COVERDALE | Republican – Treas | 147,293 | 46.36 % |
With no statewide races to really worry about Delaware Democrats need to do a better job leveraging that statewide dominance to win down ballot.
That Ramone is still in the Legislature is a goddam disgrace. Ignoring these races and allowing guys like Buckson to go unchallenged is a misuse of the party’s dominance.
