I'm trying to get my head around this radio ad that the DELAWARE STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE is running on WDEL. It seems John Carney and Tony DeLuca are 100% responsible…

But prosecutor Timothy Stone told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan's guilt or innocence that Hamdan had inside knowledge of the 2001 attacks on the…

Which candidate is the bigger flip flopper?  **Please back up your claims**

Atrios makes a good point: I'll leave semantic discussions to others, but lost in all of this discussion is the cost of the surge. Wars have become free, with neither…

 The 62 District Strategy has been achieved in the Senate.   Democrats have recruited Michael Katz to run for Gavin Newsom’s…er ah… Charlie Copeland’s seat in the 4th.  He awaits the winner of a three way Republican primary.  We have recruited Gary Downes to face Republican Senator Gary Simpson in the 18th.    Democrats have a five seat majority (13-8), and with them defending three open seats, it is impossible for them to even gain seats this cycle.  Indeed, it will be a moral victory for the Republicans if they do not lose any more seats.   I say it is highly likely that the Democrats will pick up at least one, maybe two, of the open seats.  Probably the 10th, but the 17th is a possibility as well. 

In the House, we are apparently not challenging Lavelle (11th), Hudson (12th), Manolakos (20th), Miro (22nd), Oberle (24th), Outten (30th), Blakely (34th), Carey (36th), Hocker (38th), and Lee (40th).

10 Republicans that we are not holding accountable.  That is unacceptable, but I am encouraged by Representative Gilligan’s comments last week that by 2010, we will be challenging every seat.  And there is still more time to file.  The deadline is tomorrow.  

Below the fold there is a chart of all of the races this fall.   I am trying to find all the candidate’s websites, if they have them.   If you know of one that I do not have, post it in the comments.   Thanks.

After Republican John Atkins was forced to resign from his office in disgrace, Democrat Barbara Lifflander and Republican Greg Hastings ran in a special election to fill the 41st District's seat.  …

Do you remember the scene in Roots where the slave was being whipped incessantly for refusing his slave name, Toby?  For the past 48 hours, the batshit Republicans have been…

From the Jed Reportwe learn that McCain spoke to a 43% full town hall meeting (700 showed out of 1,600 expected). What if McCain held a town hall and nobody…

HBO's Generation Kill. It's about the first days and initial invasion of the Iraq War.

Here is an interesting blurb which kind of explains why the press has been so wrong about Bush and the GOP trashing of this country for so long. Columnist Rober…
