Temple U. law professor Jan Ting won a straw poll of the Delaware Republican state committee this week to run against Sen. Tom Carper (there’s a perennial gadfly also seeking the nomination). Ting, who was assistant INS commissioner in Bush 41 (and is a Fellow at my Center), has an uphill battle before him, since Carper has $2 million in the bank and near-universal name recognition. But Carper also has a D- grade from Americans for Better Immigration, and if immigration becomes a hotter political issue (there are more illegal immigrants in Delaware than you’d think) Ting, the son of Chinese immigrants and a pro-enforcement hard-liner, could just pull it out.
