I'm going to have fun going after him and the other klansmen in SCCOR. Bodenweiser will run in the 37th if Booth wins and he’ll crack under the limelight and pressure.

Actually think he's a pretty decent guy. Although a Dem myself, I get a little scared when one party holds all the power; that's when the really bad stuff happens. Plus, I'm a little cynical about another D replacing Thurm unless such D has in the past shown concern for the Delaware Way that Thurm represented.

I agree with 'Bulo. They are generally a contrarian bunch, they bristle at being taken for granted or dictated to, they don't like airs of entitlement, and they probably liked being asked directly. I don't even know the guy. I know that when I ran in 2004 to be a Democratic National Convention delegate from Sussex County, I got votes because I personally and humbly asked for them and because I aligned with another earnest contender with strong Bridgeville ties (Blaine Breeding). And that's the beginning and end of my electoral career in Sussex County. That’s my district. I agree with ‘Bulo.

Eric is supporting Booth and as Brian said hoping very hard that he wins. He lives in the 37th. Everyone thought that Booth could have the GOP nod if he really wanted it. As for the fair, the state parties have booths and I am sure the candidates will use them. I am sure the pressure will be for Deluca and Gilligan to set the date for the 1st. If they set it before the fair, that will be interesting. I would say advantage to the guy who already has organization. Keep fantasizing MJ.

Perhaps if we would have known earlier we could have run candidates in all 3 races instead of just 2 of them.

SCCOR has pretty much nailed that door shut. I have received no contact from him even asking. He's looking at running for Booth's seat should he win. SCCOR will be behind him 100% in the GOP, and he won't think of switching. Bodenwiser won’t change his stand on teh gheys, and would very likely not get Libertarian support.

Maybe Eddy Parker won the nomination b/c he actually took the time to contact the committee people and ask for their votes. People like to be asked, especially committee people. 2. Maybe D's in western Sussex have simply gotten tired of being dictated to by the likes of Thurman Adams for over 30 years, and they were determined to show their independence. Especially if they viewed Polly Mervine's high profile announcement as if she expected a coronation. Those are 'bulo's highly-uninformed guesses for this AM. Feel free to fire at will and destroy them.

Also, I could see Bodenweiser running as an Independent or Libertarian. Not that he's that great of a candidate - he's got that big of an ego.
