Oh year, I forget, thats why my dearly beloved was told she is UNELECTABLE. I am tired of Democrats that are Dems in name only -- can we have a few more real ones here in Sussex please. All I can say is that I am glad it isn 't a House seat we are talking about!!! I am an Out and Proud Democrat in Eastern West Bumbfuck.

I don't see that happening, so I'm going to have to root against Booth (from the sidelines). Adams Mervine will be an improvement over the late Sen. Adams simply by virtue of not being able to wield the mighty desk drawer. Her votes might be just as bad, but without Thurman's power, they will be far less consequential. And I confess, I do think the Senate could use another woman to narrow the gender gap, all else being equal. I will say that the Libertarian candidate (Wendy Jones) would be an improvement all around - but I just don't see how a 3rd party can win in Delaware.

Oh Boy! That really excites me! I'm overwhelmed...nearly speechless. Now, if we can just get KHN down there on the other side of Polly, we'll have a real trifecta! loser, loser and loser.

I pray to God we not keep this seat. If I should die before I wake, I hope it's a race the R's will take. Amen And, as for Jack's campaign request, I'm struggling to NOT respond sarcastically.

We really have no idea where she stands besides the generic "make things better" kind of sloganeering. Will she win? I think she has a shot, especially with a 4-way race. The thing she has going against her is the obvious split in the Democratic party in Sussex. I think Adams Mervine is pretty much a blank slate right now.
