Onyx, you pegged it about the GOP-E Republicans. We call ‘em the Mike Castle bluebloods.
Even though Christine O’Donnell lost in 2010 after her primary upset, it exposed the complete corruption of the GOP-E structure here and all the top ones were ousted.
Luckily, I live in Southern DE, which is very conservative and has a distinctly Southern flavor and culture(we are bounded on two sides by the Mason Dixon line!). Lots of excitement for Newt here.
It is going to be by word of mouth. Talking to folks tonight, everyone agrees that Newt is our only means to thwart Romney, who is known here as not being conservative or even Republican.
Newt pegged it on his visit to Millsboro on 4/5—Delaware is a small state where everyone knows everyone it seems. I’m a transplant from NJ, so it was a little culture shock moving here, but it what I was looking for. The whole state is like a small town and the family/friend connections would make an Etch-a-Sketch screen turn solid black!
Thanks for the encouragement and pray with us that DE would once again be “The First State” in getting Newt on the path to Tampa.
I believe in and pray for miracles.
