EDIT: For those with long memories, Delaware has an interesting place in recent presidential primary history.  Both Steve Forbes in 2000 and Joe Lieberman in 2004 threw everything they had at Delaware (at that time an early primary) after losing both IA and NH in their respective primary campaigns, on the hopes that a win in the small state would give them some momentum.  They both lost badly, and dropped out of the race shortly thereafter.

Perhaps putting his faith there because of the witch's victory in 2010 against the more moderate Castle??  Of course Castle is well to the left of Mitt.

Of course the larger states don't matter to him.

Remember when Joementum dropped out after Delaware after he was in a 4-way tie to lose by 40 points?

In 1996 Forbes used the same strategy and did win Delaware, which gave him sufficient momentum to get Arizona in the next round. Still didn't really lead anywhere, of course.

Delaware has dashed the hopes of another would-be president.  Why do you taunt us Delaware?
