“This is Not a Race.”
Those are the words of political analyst Stuart Rothenberg. And he is talking about the race to unseat our supposed moderate Congressman Mike Castle. And I wholeheartedly agree. Karen and Jerry may be nice people. They may have deeply held beliefs and principles deserving of our respect. Indeed, we respect them for even running for […]
Mike “Pocket Change” Castle Strikes Again
National Parks bill passes House By David L. Ganz A bill calling for honoring National Parks on the U.S. quarter dollar coin beginning in 2010 unanimously passed the U.S. House of Representatives July 9. Huzza! Three cheers for a guy who worked hard to get George Bush elected TWICE! and voted with Bush on Iraq […]
Markell TV Ad
I like this Markell TV ad that they just released. Watch it here. It introduces him to low information voters and rolls out the “change” theme. I also love the fact that he takes some shots at Bush. I’m sure Carney-ophiles like Liberalgeek will moan that he Markell is not running against Bush. I’d disagree […]
McCain Attended Zero Afghanistan Hearings
Zero? How embarrassing. It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on […]
Obama Art Clobbers McCain Art
In what I hope is a glimpse into the future, the Wall Street Journal has a story about how Obama campaign posters are going for as much as $700 each on ebay. Knowledgeable collectors have already turned a profit by buying multiples. Tanley Wong, a 30-year-old consultant for Fannie Mae in Washington, D.C., owns 30 […]
A Round of Applause for DE’s Progressive Victory.
I just had to pass this on from earlier this morning: as I was introducing myself and Delaware Liberal at the State Blogger’s Caucus, I mentioned our recent victory in securing offshore wind energy for Delaware, and for the possibility of success for OOGA in the coming year. This was met with a round of […]
Ruth Ann’s Legacy
When the history of RAM’s admistration is written I think two things will standout as net positives for the state. One of them is the indoor smoking ban. I’m sure we all agree (with the exception of Dana) that the smoking ban is great. The other might be controversial, so don’t click through unless you […]
Typical White House Strategy
Awesome strategy being invoked by the whitehouse. If you haven’t been following, essentially every President gets a library, how that cash is raised is HIGHLY secret. Well someone videotaped a bush guy saying that they could see the VP, Sec of State of for a few million. …trhe scandal that erupted this week with the […]
SEU RFP To Be Released Before New Oversight Board is Seated
I spoke to the Energy Office this morning. The word is that the new board will not be seated before the RFP goes out. This is sad. Apparently, Gov. Minner has signed the bill into law, but she has not yet appointed the new board. Whether or not the SEU Task Force is legal and […]
Netroots Nation – Day One
I arrived last evening, and did some hobnobbing (i.e. drinking) with some of the Blogosphere’s illuminati. The feel at these events is that of a reunion, as over the last five years over the history of the blogosphere, many of us are indeed close friends, even if we only get to see each other sparingly. […]
Book Club…
As much as I hate to do it, I’m going to but the book club on hold. I have gotten no firm commitments on attendees. Perhaps we can pick it up later, but it seems like we just can’t squeeze it into schedules this month.
