Well, all I can say is, before Lee’s appearance on the radio yesterday, I heard mostly universal republican and conservative support for the former judge — today people are pulling his signs out of their yards and asking where to obtain Mike Protack signs.. Take that for what it is.

I heard a Protack soundbite on my way home around noon…the one where he says he doesn’t object or has no problem with anyone who “has a good time” but he doesn’t want a governor who has one?? I don’t know either man well at all but as a judge, I doubt Bill Lee is what used to be known as a “good time Charlie”. So he enjoys the company of women, socialising, a drink (maybe even more than one…lol). I’d wager that just about covers over half Delaware’s population so, would a governor who wants to turn us all back to Puritans be preferable? As we speak I’m already looking for scarlet letters in the sewing box. This could also be why Protack has not been any more succesful than Lee in seeking high office.

P.S…..”today people are pulling his (Lee’s) signs out of their yards and asking where to obtain Mike Protack signs.. Take that for what it is.” Yup…yet another instance of choosing “lesser of two ‘evils’…” Dear oh dear! Can’t we do any better than ANY of the choices with which we seem to be stuck…(and I do mean stuck)…?

Some other sure fire campaign tactics:
Bill could go to a local army reserve center and toss a helmet on his head and take a tank ride. Maybe he should get on stage and just start yelling with uncontrolled enthusiasm, or go to local marina jump on a boat and have a girl sit on his lap.
Bill has ended his own campaign in just five minutes. Even if he could walk on water now, most voters would encourage him to go to the beach and head East.

Exactly, Nancy. Protack sounded like a complete dope — at the very least a total prude — when he went off on Lee b/c he likes to go out and b/c he “likes women.” He called it “creepy” twice.

Lee admitted to liking the night life in Dewey and liking women and liking to drink. That is not the behavior I want for a Governor.
Lee also said his Minister advised him to go to bars to find women. Now, that is simply not true.
Protack did not go far enough and I think he was being timid. Lee’s behavior is worse than Bill Clinton.

So he likes the night life…be it Dewey, Rehoboth or Lewes…as do thousands of others who choose to enjoy socializing during ‘the season’ especially. So what? Not the sort of behaviour you want in a Governor…how about a banker, lawyer, doctor, off duty police officer? Dem or Rep, surely you can agree that at the federal level we’ve had our share of similar personalities, including those who had affairs (while married) then left their wives, had mistresses on the side and, yes…from both parties. Perhaps not preferable behaviour or conduct coming from oneself or a preference for a role model, State or Fed official but to call it ‘creepy’? What do you expect…someone who lives as a hermit, dissassociates him/herself from society at large, hates women, tee-total, demands we all attend Sunday services and, plainly, is just not in touch with any sort of reality?? I’d much rather have someone who has and admits to his or her flaws, peccadillos, own their reality than one who wears one face on a Sunday yet totally another where he or she thinks it won’t be sussed out. Not to mention we all need to be careful about at whom we chuck stones…they do have a habit of bouncing of something and careening back to the thrower.
