Tomorrow night at 6 pm, the three Democratic candidates seeking to replace Mike Castle in Congress will appear in studio on WDEL 1150 am to debate the issues.
The host of the debate, Allan Loudell, has asked for your questions of the candidates. So post them in the comments. Thanks.

Chilling. Powerful. And, in my opinion, criminal.
The speculation is rampant since the release of the Convention schedule and the associated themes for each night.
Looking for clues on Barack Obama‘s pick for a running mate? Consider the Democratic convention’s theme for the night the vice presidential candidate speaks: national security.
Political tea leaf readers would argue that bodes well for Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, D-Del.; Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, who accompanied Obama on his trip to Iraq and Afghanistan; and Sam Nunn, former Georgia senator and one-time Armed Services Committee chairman.
It won’t be Hagel, as he is way too conservative on social issues. It won’t be Nunn for the same reason, and also because Nunn is a relic of the 1980’s and early 1990’s. He has been out of the public spotlight since then. And I doubt it would be Jack Reed for two reasons, even though he is a true progressive: 1) he is unknown nationally; and 2) Rhode Island inexplicably has a Republican Governor. Further, while the article does not mention Wesley Clark, I will. Had not Clark’s words about McCain’s service as a fighter pilot not being a qualification for the Presidency been taken out of context by the traditional media and the right wing noise machine, he probably would be the vice presidential nominee.
I think the right wing knew this, and the machine went into overdrive to kill Clark.
It won’t be Clinton. The petulance of the Clinton camp over the last week (Bill Clinton’s interview with ABC, Hillary’s leaked YouTube video about having a Roll Call at the convention, Wolfson’s remarks about Hillary winning but for Edwards, the coming Atlantic story about internal Clinton emails) proves that they know it won’t be them. Further, the convention schedule has Hillary being the Keynote Speaker for the Convention, and she will highlight Tuesday night.
And with foreign policy reemerging as an issue in this campaign, with Iraq demanding a withdrawal timetable, the Georgian War, and the impending impeachment of Perez Musharaff in Pakistan, it is doubtful the vice presidential nominee will be Governors Kathleen Sebelius or Tim Kaine, or Senator Evan Bayh.
Obama-Biden.
I called it first.
I’m sure this is what Fox News sounds like to the rest of the world.
To take Dave’s nihilistic philosphy to its logical conclusion, the only acceptable vote this fall is for Mike Protack.
Only Protack can bring about the cataclysm, the tabla rasa, Dave needs to turn Delaware into a new Eden.

Republicans do not get to hear a debate between Bill Lee and Mike Protack, because once again Bill Lee is scared to debate. This is despite the fact that he said debates with Protack seemed like a good idea.
She is so freaking stupid that is is breathtaking.
Get a load of this utter nonsense: Continue reading
I’m sure he meant to say that he’s an intelligent celebrity that doesn’t have good judgement. If there is one thing I hate, it is those smart people that always make dumb decisions…
but this nugget is awesome. When I think of Leadership, I think of this:
What makes the difference, Mr. McCain said, is getting enough rest. “If I can sleep in until about 7:30 or 8, then it really helps me,” he said. “I think when I get up real early, like 5:30 or 6, and don’t go to bed until 10, 10:30 or 11, it seems to help me get up a little later in the morning.”
Wow, really, really late is like almost till 11! I thought old people needed less sleep?
I’m waiting for the next McCain commercial. It will be him and Jack Lalane (sp?) both throwing down celery sticks and cucumbers into that juice machine, then chugging raw eggs ala Rocky and then pulling an F-150 with their teeth. All to prove that old people can still be in shape and compete with the younger folks. You know the guys almost 50.
I think this line from “dumb and dumb’r” sum’s it up:
“Hey, I guess they’re right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me!”
Does Gordon really have a shot at getting elected?
