Dover CARES "Pleasantly Surprised"
The Dover CARES pro-science school board slate won ballot slots in the Democratic primary last Tuesday. In Novemeber, they will face incumbent school board members -- all Republicans -- who support injecting intelligent design creationism into science classes. The district is roughly 60 percent Republican.

The Rev. Warren Eshbach, a spokesman for Dover CARES, said he was pleasantly surprised by the results, but acknowledged that the candidates must work hard to bolster their support between now and the general election.
"We have to build our base and try to work at building coalitions between Democrats, independent voters and probably some moderate Republicans," Eshbach said.
