Wind Power Action Month – Help Create Our Open Source Advocacy Letter Template
I have to admit that I’ve been slacking. We have about 30 days left in this legislative session and we need to turn up the heat on Harris McDowell and Charlie Copeland and stop them from blocking the off shore wind power project. McDowell, Copeland and Delmarva have telegraphed their “run out the clock” strategy […]
Shorter NJ Wind Power Editorial:
Delmarva Power wants to to write and editorial pissing on Blue Water Wind, but we have too much integrity to just come out and piss on wind power just because Gary Stockbridge tells us to…right? Anyway, this New Jersey BS should Stockbridge off our backs for a few days.
Which Party is Over?
The Republican party is in deep trouble. In races all over the country seats which were once firmly ensconced in the Republican column are now up for grabs. Fewer and fewer people are describing – or admitting – themselves as Republicans, and the hope that McCain will win over Independents is slipping away. Okay, McCain […]
Mike Castle still lives in a fantasy world when it comes to Iraq
Castle simply can’t admit that he was wrong to support Bush and his war in Iraq. And so the fantasy world spinning continues unabated. Even now he still says crazy ass stuff like this… “Our troops have made tremendous security gains in Iraq, but this progress is simply unsustainable if Iraq’s leaders are not fully […]
Traders Bid Up “Dems To Win White House” Futures Contracts As Clinton Fades
I take this as proof that Hillary Clinton’s “kitchen sink” attacks on Barack Obama were proping up McCain’s campaing. As she fades from the scene, it is more and more clear to the traders that Obama is the prohibitive favorite. Click to view graph
did you know…
I am wrapping up “Big Enough To Be Inconsistent” today and on page 95 there was this little nugget: “The first state that Lincoln tried to enlist in his program of gradual emancipation was Delaware, which had so few slaves – a total of 1800 in 1860 – that it was hard to imagine strong […]
Take this Delaware Energy Survey….I Guess (?)
This is a poorly designed, terribly worded survey that is hard to get to throught the Delaware Energy Office’s cluttered web site. Which I’ll skip and link to directly. You might find it easier to respond to if you ignore their wording “Least Important to Most Important” and think of these items in terms of […]
What the heck are Mike Castle’s balls filled with? Sand?
Celia breathlessly reports that Mike Castle’s fans at the DE GOP convention were so charged up by the party’s endorsment of the 97-year-old-empty-suit that they demolished a light fixture with….a….. beach ball. The “Girls Gone Wild Bus” has nothing on the wild and crazy DE GOP. Another (Mike Castle) beach ball pulverized another chandelier. That […]
Who Should I be Reading?
I think everyone has about 4 to 5 blogs that they check out all of the time. I’ve been a slacker when it comes to reading and commenting on other blogs and have shaved that number down to 2 to 3. So I know I’m missing some great stuff, but where? Use this thread to […]

Vote for Change is a 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive aimed at getting millions more Americans registered to vote and involved in the […]
“Senator Tom Carper To Endorse Barack Obama Watch” – Day 2.5
5/9/08 20:06 UPDATE: I left two messages for Carper’s Legislative Dirtector, Bill Ghent who is a buddy of mine from my San Francisco bath house days (long story) – but I guess he is busy so he had the très joli Bette Phelan reply via email. Her email stated that Carper “remains an uncommitted superdelegate” […]
Comment Rescue: A Great Recap
The tapestry that is McDowell/Copeland effort to kill the off shore wind project has many threads. This comment from an anon reader does a great job winding those threads together. Sounds like Senator Copeland has all the sudden realized this could be problematic running for governor – I mean Lt. Governor – being part of […]
