Markell Wins – Delaware Democrat Machine Humiliated

Joe Biden, Ruth Ann Minner, and the other good ole boys got their hat handed to them in last night’s Delaware Democrat primary. State Treasurer Jack Markell defeated Lt. Gov. John Carney by over 1,700 votes.
Markell fought a hard race against the state Democrat machine as well as their money. Unfortunately for Delawareans, Markell is the more liberal of the two Dems (and that’s saying something).
In the waning days of the campaign Markell was running a radio ad that stated that he wanted to end student testing. Like all good liberals, Markell wants to end any accountability in public education while throwing money on a problem that can’t be solved by money.
Unless the GOP nominee – retired judge Bill Lee – pulls a rabbit out of his hat, Delaware could soon more closely resemble a New England state than any of its neighbors.

Delaware Liberal speculates that Delaware Lt. Gov. John Carney is running low on cash in his quest to succeed Gov. Ruth Ann Minner. State Treasurer Jack Markell is buying plenty of airtime, but Carney appears silent.
While the Delaware Democrat Party continues to fund Carney’s campaign (something that still shocks me), Delaware Dems will have to wait and see. Will Carney have enough money, on his own, for the final stretch or will he continue to depend on corrupt party and union bosses?

DelawarePolitics.net reports that the Delaware Democrat party is funneling party money to help Lt. Gov. John Carney in his primary fight with Delaware Treasurer Jack Markell. While David Anderson may applaud (hopefully tongue in cheek) the use of party money in an internecine battle, is this really in the best interest of Delawareans?
How would he feel if the Delaware GOP was throwing money at Mike Protack? Personally, I can’t believe that the Dem’s state central committee would put up with this foolishness.
