Gore wins Delaware primar
donilay. l ebru
WILMINGTON, Del. (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.

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.

To avoid a conflict w ith New Hampshire
