GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - Democrats and Republicans in Delaware are done squaring off in this year's campaigns and are now ready to circle the wagons, or carriages, to be more precise.
Election winners and losers are gathering in Georgetown on Thursday for a tradition that includes local party leaders coming together to literally "bury the hatchet," ceremoniously settling their partisan differences, if only for the moment.
Return Day also features candidates riding together in carriages and cars around the downtown circle in Georgetown before a town crier announces the results of local election returns. It also marks the start of speculation about who will run for which offices in the next election, which in this case includes a 2016 gubernatorial contest.
