Do you like unity? If you like a country divided by race, sexual orientation, class and culture, vote for John McCain. He promises to keep Americans at war with each other.

The NJ will probably never really die outright. Rather it will devolve into a glorified statewide “Dover Post” type advertiser.

Delaware “Literally” Featured in Nate Silver’s “538”

Filed in Delaware by on October 28, 2008 5 Comments

I guess we are going to have to get used to it.   Any reference to Delaware will be preceded or followed by a reference to Joe Biden.  He is Delaware now.   At least to the nation at large.   Much like the scene in Wayne’s World defined Delaware to the popular culture for much of the […]

kos is commenting on an article in the Las Vegas sun which points out that Dean’s “50 State Strategy” has worked. Read the whole thing…but here is a taste. And here’s one lagging piece of CW that still gets it wrong: [Dean is] usually associated with the loony wing of the party, the MoveOn crowd […]
