Great news, hopefully not too late.
Let’s not forget that while Delaware as a whole is a leftist state, the rank-and-file GOPers are pretty conservative. Remember, this is the set of state party voters who dumped Mike Castle for Christine O’Donnell, so they’re obviously both independent-minded and conservative. Delaware isn’t necessarily a lock for Romney.
Speaking of Delaware, let’s also remember than when Christine O’Donnell - the people’s choice - won the Senate nomination, the GOP-E slammed her, refused to support her even though she was their nominee, and even gave aid and comfort to her Democrat opponent. REMEMBER THAT FOR THE NEXT TIME SOME GOP-ER TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO RALLY AROUND THE NOMINEE, LIKE HIM OR NOT.
I lived this in 2010, and it is dead on accurate.
Every major GOP-E official in DE is GONE--thrown out over what happened with Christine.
Newt has been here several times, talking with groups of maybe 100 to 350 people. But DE is a small state, and people know a lot of other people.The Republican party is trending more conservative, after a 20 year liberal influence.
Politicans, even our own idiot Joe Biden overlook us regularly--remember he was from Scranton in 2008!--but Newt has not!
I pray DE will be the "First State" again, to get Newt to Tampa!
That and the GOP treatment of other tea party endorsed candidates like Joe Miller and Sharon Angle. The GOP drove me out of the party with their antics during the 2010 elections and the back stabbing of those elected tea party candidates who tried to rein in the spending last summer. The GOP-E is every bit as evil as the Obama led Democrats.
