Will you be attending Drinking Liberally tonight at Catherine Rooney's @7:30? Who will you cast your vote for Delaware's Hottest Blogger?

Delaware is a funny state.   We don’t get live coverage of our gubernatorial debates like Pennsylvania and New Jersey do, so we have to trust what we read in the newspaper, unless we actually attend the event ourselves.   And our only major (if you can call it major) is the Wilmington News Journal.

Last night, three of the four candidates for Governor, Jack Markell, John Carney and Mike Protack, attended a debate in Dover.   Naturally, this morning’s lead story in the News Journal concerns that debate and the news about prison healthcare that emerged from the debate.  This post is not about that news.  It is about how the News Journal covers this story.

Read this follwing blurb below the fold and tell me how many candidates you think attended the debate last night.
