Markell v. Carney

This is a News Journal article that appeared about my former boss, State Treasurer Jack Markell and his Democratic primary opponent Lt. Governor John Carney. Both men are seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor of the State of Delaware.
The article outlined that fact that both men have been building up lists of supporters. Earlier the News Journal had compared Carney's list of public supporters (everyone from Governor Minner to John Smith-average citizen) which was 600 names long to Markell's list of Campaign Co-Chairs, not average supporters. This was gross incompetence on the part of the News Journal to compare two totally unrelated lists. But now, Markell has released his own list of grassroots supporters...1600 names long, compared to Carney's only 600.

This is surely going to be an exciting primary, one which has started months before normal races start. Markell is seen as the outsider with experience, Carney is seen as the insider, not prone to change, who has been waiting in line for the Governorship since taking over as Lt. Governor in 2001. In my view, it will come down to the man who has worked for it, and the man that has "waited in line for it."
