That meting rallied corporate Delaware behind the Burris campaign. Party people are different He would do well against Burris in a primary. It wouldn't be a 75-25 margin. But he can't win in September. He can't win because those very same party people have influence on the streets, at social gatherings, Lions Club meetings, beer gardens, pool halls and polling places.
Money can talk in mysterious ways.
With Burris's running mate, Denny Rochford, polling 244 delegate votes, Lee has the added burden of challenging two well-financed candidates with high electabililty perceptions among Republicans. The Bill Lee movement just went up against an 800-pound gorilla. The next battle is with the 2,000-pound dinosaur. If this primary were April 9 instead of Sept. 9, Lee might have had time to make his point against the heavy-handed influence of select corporate contributors. For a walk most likely, or maybe to Democrats.
