We had a lot of local coverage over the last week at Delaware Liberal, no doubt the most political coverage in Delaware blogs.
First on our local political coverage is our series of interviews with Delaware candidates:
- Our final installment (?) of our Jack Markell interview
- The first part of our interview with Lt. Governor candidate Matt Denn. The second part appears today.
- We interviewed Rebecca Young, who is a candidate for State Representative District 22.
- For the recently open seat of the State Senate District 4, we had a chance to interview Dr. Mike Katz.
On Friday, liberalgeek wrapped up the goings on about Workforce Housing. Please read as there are two important meetings regarding Workforce Housing this week.
Jason gives his overs/unders for many of the local election and slams Delaware’s MSM for falling for Bill Lee’s misleading press release.
Over the three weeks prior to election day, Delaware Liberal is taking a strong look at the candidacy of John Clatworthy for the State Senate District #4. We are wondering, no concerned, about Clatworthy’s socially conservative ideals that he has not be forthcoming about. You can read the following posts:
- What Would Pat Robertson Do
- Katz v Clatworthy: Round 1
- Does Son of Clatworthy© agree with this?
- Clatworthy’s “R” Means More Than Republican
- Mr. Clatworthy Meets Mr. Roboto
- Real Questions for Clatworthy
- Real Questions for Delaware Liberal
On Delaware Watch, Steven Crockett wrote a great post about Senator Biden and his concern for working families.
The Yetman family is still facing foreclosure. This family may yet be out on the streets if their mortgage company will not cooperate. It will not be because Senator Joe Biden did not intervene on their behalf. It will not be because Biden does not care.
Dana writes about Karen Hartley-Nagel’s sad attempt for taking credit for Bluewater.
Speaking about getting called out on Bluewater, Charles Copeland tried to take credit and got called out by Tommywonk and kavips. Tommywonk writes:
Charlie Copeland is hoping that voters will somehow forget his prolonged opposition to the Bluewater Wind project, despite the record to the contrary.
Kavips covers another political forum. I, for one, cannot wait until Nov. 4th. Here’s Kavips take on Bill Lee’s visit.
Markell couldn’t make it, another engagement previously arranged. But Bill Lee could….. almost… He staggered up to the podium, after putting a hand on Matt Denn’s sturdy shoulder to keep from falling in his lap. ( no, no, it wasn’t THAT… he tripped on the carpet! ) lol Lee is no Jack Markell. I got the impression Lee was like a prom date that said yes, knowing the outcome wasn’t going to be pretty. He’s a nice guy, but is not up to running a state.. We’ve had eight years of that.. (nice guy not up to running a state). He got some flack from one member of the audience for when he said “he didn’t care if he was running for governor” implying win or lose, it didn’t matter to him…”How can anyone take your run for office seriously, after hearing a statement like that?” Bill laughed it off.. :”it’s good for Delaware if I don’t care” he said… huh? (what he was trying to say was that someone who cared deeply would try dirty tricks to make sure they one, but not he, since he didn’t care, dirty tricks were not in his agenda… just bringing up Markell’s Nextel Lawsuit…) Bottom line, Republicans should have left both the governors and Lieutenant Governors spots blank this year, considering the damage those two candidate may do to their party… But watching it made me realize that in politics everyone is a nice guy… our job is to elect the smarter nice guy, or the nice guys who are selfless, instead of selfish….
Kilroy continues pimping Copeland for Lt. Governor here and here and here. More enjoyable was Kilroy’s piece about having dinner with Tyler Nixon.
Please welcome Lower Slower Delaware to the liberal Delaware fold. Good luck fighting the fight.
