Yay !
I am excited to be watching for the results on here with you guys. Hopefully, you will not be too drunk and festive to share your thoughts with the computer-bound readers too
Comment by mike on 9 September 2008 at 7:19 pm:
You will report on Protack/Lee too somewhere. Won’t you?

Just got back from being a poll greeter. I was at Thurgood Marshall which has some RDs from the 24th and some from the 26th. I was there most of the day, as was Markell’s people. Gordon person turned up at 5 pm. Carney person didn’t show up until 7 pm. Apparently, turnout was pretty good – 500 from the 26th alone, according to Rep. Viola.

I have to state for the record that it is pretty insane to be going through elections such as this one blindly, with no poll giving us ANY idea where things stand.
DE is weird sometimes.
Comment by anon2222 on 9 September 2008 at 7:47 pm:
you spelled commissioner wrong
Comment by delawaredem on 9 September 2008 at 8:08 pm:
Oh well. Too late now.
Some interesting speculation: Jason reported to me that the Coons party at Catherine Rooney’s had been canceled, but it now might appear that it is being moved. If it was canceled, that is a bad omen.

Anyone watching WHYY? Joe Pika has himself one bad-dude white goatee.
Political Science? GRRRRRrrrrrRRRR….
Comment by R Smitty on 9 September 2008 at 8:18 pm:
Oooo….Jerry Northington off to a SLOOOWWWW start, but without looking at the election districts, I am guessing that may be a Sussex County machine(s).
Comment by FSP on 9 September 2008 at 8:19 pm:
We’ll do the Republicans. Check our site for the GOP and we’ll send people here for the Dems.
Comment by R Smitty on 9 September 2008 at 8:20 pm:
DAMN IT! Drunk wifebeater got the first ED to report in 41. Is there any justice?
Comment by R Smitty on 9 September 2008 at 8:20 pm:
Hee…doing what I can to bogart the thrill from here. BWAAAHHAAAAAHAAAHAAA!!!
Comment by Joe M on 9 September 2008 at 8:26 pm:
Is someone going to open up the live blog?
Comment by benjamin on 9 September 2008 at 8:26 pm:
In the spirit of cross-partisanship, I went to FSP to follow Lee/Protack and I am welcome with Feroce going insane over the “lipstick on a pig” remark.
I am willing to overcome partisanship for one night but deep stupidity is too much for me.
Ill stick to here.
Comment by benjamin on 9 September 2008 at 8:27 pm:

Thanks DelawareDem !

Comment by R Smitty on 9 September 2008 at 8:31 pm:
OK, I will go back and play there for a while…
damn it, why can’t Lifflander win something for once? AARRRGGGHHH!
Comment by benjamin on 9 September 2008 at 8:33 pm:

Comment by benjamin on 9 September 2008 at 8:39 pm:

Roger Roy and Pete Schwatzkopf are looking over DD’s shoulder to check on Atkins. Bleh.
Comment by mike w. on 9 September 2008 at 8:44 pm:
Haha Roger Roy. I remember him. He used to live in my neighborhood and my dad sold him a car years ago.
I’m glad to see Protack getting crushed.

Comment by Ryan Mc on 9 September 2008 at 8:59 pm:
I volunteered for Markell in January. Great guy, hope he wins.
Comment by FSP on 9 September 2008 at 9:00 pm:
Is Protack still surging?
Comment by jason330 on 9 September 2008 at 9:02 pm:
Centerville Uber Allis!
Comment by cassandra m on 9 September 2008 at 9:23 pm:
No, but none here can speak for his ’stache.
I think Markell is going to win!
Comment by John Feroce on 9 September 2008 at 9:27 pm:
If Markell holds, this state has taken its step forward and need not look back.
We win in November no matter who wins on the 4th.
Comment by mike w. on 9 September 2008 at 9:33 pm:
Carney is the lesser of two evils there, so I’m hoping he gains a bit of ground and beats Markell.
Comment by pandora on 9 September 2008 at 9:36 pm:
Keep up, Mike. The race was called for Jack 10 minutes ago!
Comment by mike w. on 9 September 2008 at 10:03 pm:
Looks like you guys got the “change” you deserve.
