When speaking with the Inertcept's Ryan Grim about the "Delaware Way," I mentioned that the Dem's going soft on Simpler seemed like the last gasp of the clubby system that allowed moderate Republicans and Democrats to trade offices back and forth like twins sharing clothes. I don't know if that is true, but it seems to me like Simpler is getting a pass. The election is (_X_) days away and I know virtually nothing about Coleen Davis. Here is a link to her website. If anyone has any evidence that the high Dems have not pre-ceded this office to the GOP, I'd be eager to hear it.

New Castle County GOP chairman resigns, blasts party and U.S. Senate candidate Rob Arlett
A central figure in the Delaware Republican Party fired off a scathing resignation letter last week that blasted both the direction of the state GOP and its recent nomination of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Arlett. “Mr. Arlett lacks the character and integrity needed to lead our Ticket and receive my support,” wrote Peter Kopf, a former banking executive who has chaired the New Castle County Republican Committee and served on the state party’s executive committee since last year. In his letter — a copy of which was obtained by The News Journal on Wednesday — the 64-year-old references “critical information” about Arlett he claims “will eventually derail his candidacy.”
