Shout to Democratic leadership…

Whereas the Republican’s hand picked another loser, the Democrats established an open forum.  Anyone who wanted to sign up to run could.  Two did.  They both had been campaigning for awhile.

Each had an opening statement.  Each competed in a thirty minute question and answer session.  Each had a closing speech.

Dunn went first.  Dunn finished last.  All logistics for a win were in his favor.  He fell short.

Tim Sheldon will be the Democrat’s pick for President of  New County Council.  He won by convincing more Democratic committee members  that he would make a better candidate for that position.

He had a stronger  grasp of facts,  he was  precise on his implementations, and came across  less of a generalist than Bill Dunn.   Bill Dunn is a great candidate.  And will be in the future.  But even supporters of Dunn agree,  although his performance would have done well against Paul Clark, against Tim  he fell a little short.  Tim came in better prepared.

Yesterday was Tim Sheldon’s day,  and it was clear to see, that come election time,  all hands can  come together in support of Tim Sheldon’s effort to lead.

That’s a lot better than can be said about having to grovel for the blessing of one man, as Republicans have to do in this state.

As the  Democratic Party is to the United States:   Delaware’s “Official” Republican Party is to  the Soviet Union.
