I've seen how that process has been manipulated in California and other states by corporations and labor unions, and I worry that Delaware would be seen as an easy target, since it would cost far less to "buy" a referendum in Delaware. I need to be assuaged of those concerns before I jump on that particular bandwagon. <BR/><BR/>But <B>believe me</B>, Feroce is already on that bandwagon.

John Feroce and I got in a private argument over the fact that I wasn't favor of open government ENOUGH. We strongly disagreed over the concept of initiative and referendum, which he is strongly for and I am not so strongly for. He gained nothing in his race by having this argument, so you can take it to the bank that he is 100% for open government. <BR/><BR/><I>This guy has to be a royal con artist to have snowed so many people even his holiness Burris.</I><BR/><BR/>It's not me he needs to worry about.

He says he'll sue, to keep the opponent at bay. This is what he does. Now, he gets his proxies to try to get the opponent fired from his job. Don't believe he is not involved, because his fingerprints are all over the letter.<BR/><BR/>Really, do you think that the Hockessin voters don't see through it?? Korn is a bad seed. Trying to get someone fired from their job is just too much. Whatever his positions are on the issues aren't important.

I'm not calling Korn a carpetbagger, I'm simply saying that if you've lived here longer, you're likely to know more people personally and more likely to have had contact with more voters. Same thing goes for Feroce and Vaughn. More people in the 14th probably know Vaughn, which, in that case is good for the GOP.<BR/><BR/>Both Feroce and Korn start with a deficit based on their "newcomer" status. Feroce seems to have made up that deficit with shoe leather. I don't really know what the status of the 20th race is, but Celia's not off her rocker with her rating when you factor in that deficit with the registration advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18740044.post-1161444821106388402006-10-21T11:33:00.000-04:002006-10-21T11:33:00.000-04:00So if the registrations were 60% GOP and 20% Dem.....So if the registrations were 60% GOP and 20% Dem...it would still be LEANS GOP?

Sorry, Jaso...So you don't think Manolakos will win. Sorry, Jason...I find Celia's "analysis" quite tepid at times, but the odds are on Nick's side. By registrations alone...Hockessin is hardly what I'd call a Democratic stronghold. She's just calling it like it is. I've told Korn it's going to be tough to beat Manolakos...no matter how hard he works. There just have to be times when you let the stats do the work for you, and a 40% GOP registration vs. 32% Dem. is pretty strong. Of course, if Korn appeals to a MAJORITY of the independent voters than he can pull it off...but how many of those people are going to show up in a non-presidential election?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
