Delaware’s Game Changing Turnout
Every Presidential election year is a high turnout year, with Barack Obama at the top of the ticket it is safe to assume that this is going to be a VERY high turnout election. What does that mean for Delaware? It could very well mean that Vince Lofink, Nancy Wagner, Terry Spence and Dick Cathcart […]
BIG, BIG Trouble for the NBA…
NBA referees, influenced by cozy relationships with league officials, rigged a 2002 playoff series to force it to a revenue-boosting seven games, a former referee at the center of a gambling scandal alleged Tuesday. ruh-roh. I love playoff basketball, but the officiating for the home teams always seemed a bit lopsided in the past…not good […]

In a nutshell
let’s play a new game…what am I thinking when I read this? NEW YORK — Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama aren’t the only ones courting swing voters as the 2008 campaign shifts into its next phase. The ferocious battle for cable news viewers is moving into its own general election mode — and CNN […]
Comment Rescue: The Real Mike Castle
Al Mascitti made a great comment about the dressmaker’s form that is Mike Castle: “our Republican Representative, who in no way represents the majority view of Delawareans.” Bold assertion, but I think it’s based on a faulty premise — that Castle’s voting record represents the man.
