Delaware

Candidates for the New Castle County offices of County Executive and County Council President will be the focus of the May 2nd meeting of the Progressive Democrats for Delaware (PDD). PDD President Paul Baumbach says two of the candidates have indicated they will attend and the others are expected to join them for a full airing of County issues. Baumbach will act as moderator for the forum.

Disgraced Former New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon is thinking about taking another run at his old office. It makes sense. Paul Clark is disliked and Bill Shahan is still an unknown at this point in the race. Gordon probably figures he has the name rec to take down Clark. He also probably figures some longing for when times were good in the county during his terms as Exec will redeem him in the eyes of the voters. And our poll results will give him some encouragement that such a redemption is very possible.

I am calling it. Romney wins. Gingrich fails, and drops out of the race (as he promised, surely he won't break that promise).
