Tracking Poll Thursday Results Tread: Lt. Governor
The auto-shut off is not working on poll daddy – but I think these results give us a good baseline.
If the election was being held today, who would vote for to be the next Lt. Governor of Delaware?
Ted Blunt 38% (27 votes) Colin Bonini 7% (5 votes) Matt Denn 32% (23 votes) Hube 6% (4 votes) Other 17% (12 votes)
- Schwartzkopf 2
- Jack Markell 2
- John Carney 1
- donviti’s ex-wife 2
- Chip Flowers 1
- Freddie Mercury-Mustache Delta Airline Pilot 1
- Dave Burris 1
- Other (unspecified) 2
SO – these are the races I’ll be tracking. We’ll be repeating Governor next week, then President etc.
In a world where all is right, Denn should be running against Castle next year in stead of wasting the valuable resource of himself on what is essentially a part-time row office.
Therefore, I’m voting for Denn, but under protest.
“… what is essentially a part-time row office.”
Thanks to Carney
What Dis said.
Dis makes a fair point. What is the relevance of having been a lieutenant to an absentee governor as Carney has been to Minner? Gee whiz, in this state it’s of even less significance than the state treasurer’s post.
*rimshot*
trust me you don’t want my ex wife…that is like cutting off your nose to spite your wife.
but funny
What about Sherry Freeberry? I bet she’d get at least 500 votes.
Can’t say I’m surprised about the Blount support. Denn will have a tough row to how based on Blounts activity in New Castle. And to tell the truth, I don’t think many people in Kent and Sussex really give a crap about Lt. Gov., so its going to be a bitch to overcome NC votes with K and C votes.
Not only would we better served by Denn running against Castle, I honestly think it would be an easier race for Denn.
Officially, I am neutral in all of the primaries until I make my endorsements next year, but I like Denn alot.
Do I get to make endorsements too?
Denn is great. A big primary turnout helps him.
I find it interesting that this primary IS the election.
Republicans are a non-factor outside of RD races.
Denn is great.
I find it interesting that the Democratic primary IS the race.
Outside of a few RD races – the Republicans are a bit of an afterthought.
I am honestly not saying this because he’s a D, but Denn is one of the most capable, competent, trustworthy politicians to come around in a hell of a long time.
Why the FUCK is he wasting his time on Lt. Gov.?
Dis–
Sure, why not?
Dis–
He wants to be Governor in 8 years. He probably does not want to go to Washington.
The concept of public service is thought to be, by some, a greater requirement for those of greater ability.
Despite our State-specific drawbacks, where the real harm is being done is in Washington. We can have Denn there in January, 2009. Waiting 10 more years on the off-chance that he will be Governor simply wastes a resource (Denn) that we have too few of. We should simply demand that he run for U.S. Rep. After all, public servants are supposed to listen to us, right?
