In completely unrelated news, Delaware State Treasurer Chip Flowers (D) quits his reelection bid following a sexual harassment scandal, he says he’s innocent but plans to flee the state in shame to go to Massachusetts where “great policy debates and discussion” are supposedly what carry the interest of the local media. ^_^
Flowers’ rat primary opponent is now the rat nominee by default, this probably harms GOP chances at the office, the Delaware GOP could use a victory.
Weird choice of thread to put this in. =8-0>
Unfortunately, the only GOP-held statewide office in DE is the Auditor. The last time they held the Treasurer was with Janet Rzewnicki from 1983-1999. I believe she ran against Carper when he was Governor but came up short.
I think the state is a hopeless cause and really is too small that it should even be a state and ought to be absorbed by Maryland, which makes geographical and political sense at this point. Hell, Maryland should be comped with NoVA as well.
