The Center for Responsive Politics reports that Presidential campaigns have had $1,000,000,000 given to them this cycle.  For those that are bad at counting (McCain supporters and such), that is a BILLION dollars.  The report say that this is more money than the GDP of 23 countries. I am amazed and a little bit annoyed.  […]

Delaware Dem is philosophical about it the incident… I just find it funny, that’s all. I guess it can now be said that I truly helped and supported both campaigns this year. To help John Carney, I gave him (unwittingly or not) some pictures to post on his website. To help Jack Markell, I will […]

This morning, national MSM outlets started to talk about yesterdays windpower deal.  CNN had it on their blog.  Reuters had a story on it.  And now one of my favorite haunts, Slashdot has a post on it.  Delaware is finally starting to get some good press out of the windfarm, even if some of the […]

By 2018 I may have enough in my 401k to blow it all on a John Corzine-type-self-funded, but probably  quixotic attempt to remove a 82 year old Mike Castle from Congress. Keep checking here for campaign updates.

If this type of thing doesn’t bug the shit out of you there is really something wrong.  Partisan or not, when people agree to testify and then don’t show up we have a real issue with enforcing the rule of law.  When it doesn’t happen from the top down, what type of message does that […]

See that little link up there…? We’ll a reader used it to submit this question: Not a tip, just a question. Do we have a viable candidate to run against Castle? If so, who is it, why haven’t I heard about them and what are we doing to promote them. If ever there was a […]

Yesterday, Jason and I, along with 3 other bloggers attended that Newark press conference for Bluewater Wind.  There are definitely winners in this deal.  You and I are winners.  Our rates will rise marginally, but we might not notice it by then, because the energy bills will be even further out of control. John Carney […]
