(AP) — Vice President A1 Gore won the Delaware presi dential primary Saturday, outdistancing Bill Bradley in an election neglected by the Democratic campaigners, in voting that drew a turnout as sparse as the stakes. Gore won comfortably in a primary that was only a popularity contest, a state- run straw poll. The vice president captured 57 percent of the vote, the former senator from New Jersey, 40 percent. Gore, taking a day off in Washington, telephoned a union leader his thanks for the victory. “He said we took him over the top,” said Mike Begatto, executive director of the AFL-CIO Public Employees Council. “A1 Gore and the Gore campaign appreciate the support of the people of Delaware today,” said spokesperson Chris Lehane. “We hope to also earn that support caucus day.” That will be March 27, when Delaware Democ rats begin choosing their 22 nominating delegates. The state scheduled its primary near the start of the campaign season in an effort to gain influence, but De mocrats could not select delegates this soon without violating party rules. By the time they do, after the major state primaries earlier in March, the contest may be settled. With the candidates bypassing the state, the pri mary vote was light, about 5 percent of registered | voters. Their verdict was Gore with 6,349 votes (57 percent) and Bradley with 4,465 votes (40 percent). Perennial fringe candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche got the rest. Gore scored heavily with voters who said they were looking for experience. One in four said that was the quality they wanted in a candidate, and the vice president got 9 out of 10 of their votes, according to a Voter News Service poll. VNS, a consortium of the Associated Press and the major television networks, interviewed voters leaving their polling places. ELECTION 2000 DELAWARE PRIMARY RESULTS DEMOCRATIC PARTY Al Gore - 57% Those interviews also showed that the vice president won overwhemlingly voters from union households. “If anyone should get the credit for this Gore win today, it should be the CIO,” Chris Coons, a Gore organizer, said. Benjamin J. Matwey, Bradley’s volunteer chairperson, said the low turnon his candidate. But he said “they won, we lost, there’s no spin on it I )elaware was Gore’s third straight v icttxjyf landslide margins. Gore won the New Hampshis man last Tuesday with a 4-point edge on Bra Neither Gore nor Bradley made a $ Delaware, and the volunteers who campaigna did it without national help. The candidatesh they would stay away, wary of friction with Hampshire, when the leadoff primary state w fending its status against calendar encroachme Gore won the Iowa caucuses with a margino ly 2-to-l over Bradley, and beat him 50perwni percent in New 1 lampshire. Under Democratic only those starting-point states could choosed& before March 7. The Republicans have no such restriction.G W. Bush and Steve Forbes are campaigna Delaware's GOP primary' on Tuesday. Sen. Jo Cain, the big winner in New 1 lampshire, skippc j aim at later targets. To avoid a conflict w ith New Hampshire demands a full week to itself, the Republicans opted out of the state-run pnir? Saturday to vote in one of their own three days later. The contest offers 12 non ing votes, a pittance in the national campaign, but a stake to go w ith the win-! ing Delaware will deliver. Forbes’ self-financed campaign has been shaken by third place in New Hampshire.
