That’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Protack in the back of the crowd and to the left with the moustache. He was the only candidate for governor who bothered to show up at a wind power rally in Rehoboth Beach last November, though all of the candidates claim to support it.

With all of the hoopla today surrounding the GOP candidate for Governor, I asked Mike Protack, the Republican who’s sure that he’s running for the job, to give me his thoughts on the day:

” I wish Alan Levin the best in his personal and business endeavors. Leaving a race or getting in a race is a difficult decision which requires 100% focus and personal dedication. Since I entered this race I have demonstrated the perseverance and results it takes to run and win and I believe the future of Delaware will be better if we address the premiere issues of health care, education and economic growth. Those issues and my proposals are resounding very well within the Republican party and voters all over the state because both want a leader with a voice for the future . I look forward to the campaign within the Republican Party and in the fall with the eventual Democratic victor.”
