Delaware election results just dropped a nuclear bomb on political theories among Republican moderates and liberals.
In 2010, Christine O’Donnell got 40% of Delaware’s heavily-skewed Democrat electorate for US Senate, despite nasty civil war within the Republican party nationwide and in Delaware.
No, this is not about her. This is about YOUR understanding of how elections work and what is going on politically in Delaware.
In 2012, even Republican Mitt Romney only equaled in Delaware Christine O’Donnell’s vote — both at 40%.
How do all the “haters explain how Mitt Romney did no better in Delaware than Christine O’Donnell did for US Senate? Both got 40% of the vote.
In 2012, Republican candidate for US Senate Kevin Wade = 29%
Republican candidate Tom Kovach candidate for US Congress = 33.4%
Republican candidate for Governor Jeff Cragg = 28.6%
Republican candidate for Lt. Governor Sher Valenzuela = 37.1%
Republican candidate for Insurance Commissioner Benjamin Mobley = 36.8%
Now, let’s REVIEW.
WHY? TO LEARN. To PLAN for next time. To do better next time. To build a house on a firm foundation of sound strategy, not on clouds of self-delusion.
So if we put all the theories to the test…. Are all those theories wrong?
Why under the various theories did Christine O’Donnell do BETTER than all of these Republican statewide candidates?
If one's theories don’t work, do you re-examine our political theories, or do you dig in and believe in fairy tales?
