DEwind: The Week That Changed History

There is no reason for me to do an election recap, because it has already been done along with the best headline of the week, More Analysis on Pamela Thonrburg’s “Snatch”. Damn you kavips, damn you! While I’m reading kavips, one would have to be blind regarding the Paradee-Thornburg “re-count” fiasco, However I’m with Al Mascitti on this one, “Has anyone done a story that deals with the claims from both sides in a tick-tock fashion?” Delawonk has a good technical post on recounts.

And now that the election is over, we can start guessing on who Gov. Minner will pick to take Vice President-Elect Biden’s Senate seat. DelawareDem writes:

I think the new CW at work is that John Carney is owed this appointment by Minner, and that Carney is more than capable in serving as Senator.

Kilroy has some other ideas and since his Copeland prediction didn’t pan out so well, my money is on Carney. Mr. Kilroy, let me leave you with these words from Robert Burton.

A good conscience is a continual feast.

While the national media speculates over how President-Elect Obama will fill his Administration, we in the First State begin our speculation. Top of the list is the rumor that Governor-Elect Markell has picked Dennis Rochford for his Chief of Staff. Delaware Watch says that “selecting him will not probably not sit well with many Democratic Party insiders.“ But at least we can guess about Markell’s cabinet, can’t we?

Great pictures from Return Day courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Libertarian who also finds results from Tuesday’s election encouraging for the future. Mike Mahaffie has a Return Day post with photos as well.

Brian Shields is showing himself to be an upstanding blogger as he looks back at the Insurance Commissioner contest; however he wrongly thinks open government is dead. 😉

The one fan of Jason Scott should check our Mike Matthew’s mid-day election post and scroll to the bottom. New on the endangered blog list, daveburris.com.

With our fearless leader being wrong so often, it is always nice to be reminded that he can be right sometimes as he was in What Is Wrong With The Republican Party?.

I show up at the Odessa Fire Hall and take my seat next to my Republican counterpart. A virulent racists “movement conservative” who claims that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian who was “uniformly despised by the secret service” who she regularly berated. He knew all of this because he “read it in a book.”
