PATRICK JACKSON has the story.
DOVER — Rep. Bruce Ennis, D-Smyrna, has an almost 2-1 fundraising edge over his Republican opponent, Appoquinimink School Board President Joanne Christian, according to reports filed with the state Election Department.
Ennis raised about $42,900 during the reporting period, which started when he entered the race to succeed the late Sen. James Vaughn on Sept. 26 and ended Friday. Christian raised $22,350 during from her entry in the race on Sept. 30 and Friday.
By the filing deadline, Ennis had spent almost $27,400 and Christian had spent about $21,370. Both candidates spent most of their money on fliers, yard signs, ads in local newspapers and with campaign consultants.
I guess the GOP’s inability to jam illegal contributions into the Christian campaign slowed them down a bit.

Nevermind the 25 year incumbency of Ennis, that wouldn’t factor in …

Or the published reports of Dem leadership telling lobbyists to pay up or get shut out…

Lol!
Published that’s a good one.

Has anyone seen the other candidate?

Is jason going to post the official ‘line’ on the election? And will there be a prize for the closest (and I have plenty of donviti wall posters, so perhaps we could offer a different prize)?

Anybody who can read this and tell me they’d honestly vote for the fossil is kidding themselves.
Also, nice hit piece today from Ennis, taking shots about children’s health care when Christian’s dental practice is one of the leading Medicaid and pro-bono providers in the state.

“the fossl” Dave? You dislike senior citizens? You think the wisdom of age and maturity has nothing to offer? Because you know it all, in your opinion?
8 anon. // Oct 31, 2007 at 11:01 am
Dave, didn’t you just start a new PAC. The DCCC? My first question is why did you check the box unaffiliated on the filing documents? That’s so ridiculous, you non-partisan. Do explain….

“Fossil” has nothing to do with age, Doc.
10 Dave // Oct 31, 2007 at 11:04 am
I don’t answer questions posed by anons.

Dave has hereby turned comments “off”. How can he do this on a blog not his own? He puts his fingers in his ears and sings “nanni nanni nah nah” loudly and closes his eyes real tight.
12 Dave // Oct 31, 2007 at 11:56 am
I actually answer your questions, Doc, because I know who you are.
13 anon. // Oct 31, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Sources tell me that Dave has started his own PAC. I guess he doesn’t want to have to try to explain it to us. That’s alright Dave, hope you have better luck than Copeland trying to funnel money to JC.

It’s not that I don’t want to. I simply don’t owe you an explanation for what I do.
15 Dave // Oct 31, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Then again, I don’t want to either.
16 disbelief // Oct 31, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Then shut the fuck up already.
17 Mike Matthews // Oct 31, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Yeah, Dave…you’re claims that “you know more than someone” or “I don’t want to tell” are so fucking old already. Either get over yourself of simply, as Dis says, shut the fuck up.
18 Mike Matthews // Oct 31, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Said with love, of course!
19 Dave // Nov 1, 2007 at 8:01 am
I didn’t bring it up.
