Sucks to be Bonini

Poor chap. Not only did Copeland sucker him into being on the drubbed side of an electoral drubbing, now he has Lyme Disease. In all honesty, he should drop out. What does he owe the DEGOP? Why should he put his health on the line to spare Copeland the embarrassment of sitting with Laser Lafferty on Return Day? He shouldn’t.

Just what Colin Bonini needed in his campaign for governor. Another obstacle.

It was not enough that Delaware has not elected a Republican governor since the 1980s? Not enough that Bonini is up against John Carney, who has already been elected statewide five times as the Democratic congressman and lieutenant governor? Not enough that Bonini still has to go through a Republican primary against a Tea Party-type candidate?

On top of all that, Bonini has come down with a case of Lyme disease.

It had Bonini feeling so bad, it was like an unrelenting physical reminder that Carney had a 57 percent approval rating while only 29 percent of the Republicans, Bonini’s own party, were committed to him in a recent PublicMind Poll, which is administered by Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Bonini’s health is improving, now that he is being treated with what he described as “super-duper” antibiotics, and his doctor has him thinking he will be fine.

“I’ve been feeling terrible for weeks and weeks, flu symptoms and tremendous joint pain. I felt like it was like the first day of football practice, like every day,” Bonini said.
