Denn: “(Copeland) the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier”

2 Comments

Matt Denn, who during his time as Insurance Commissioner had a front row seat to all of Copeland’s anti-consumer/pro-insurance industry votes in Senate, hit back at Charles Lamot Dupont Copeland’s smears today and did not pull any punches, calling Copeland “the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier in Dover” for voting against consumer protects and in line with insurance industry lobbyists instructions.

Denn also said that it was laughable for Copeland to talk about conflicts of interest when Copeland has recently admitted to have made “$3 million from the State of Delaware while serving as a State Senator in the legislature.”

Complete statement below the fold.

The bailout package has failed.  The Dow is currently down 525... Enjoy the ride. Update:  It occurs to me that this could be a case of crying wolf!  Several times…

This is the ad I saw playing on Comcast cable up here in New Castle County this weekend.  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TB-vntJKRs[/youtube] I find it interesting that Charlie Copeland is not running ads…

Could the bar be set any lower?

Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions.  One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster.  On the other hand, so does everyone else.

So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there?  I’d advise against the McCain approach of completely ignoring your debate partner even though Joe would have every right to view Sarah Palin with contempt.  Maybe his best approach would simply be to give Palin enough rope and hope that her debate performance mimics the Gibson and Couric interviews.  

But what worries me most is how much of a curve will the media grade Palin?  And is it fair to hold one VP candidate to higher standards than another?  Will one gaffe by Joe Biden carry more weight than fifty by Palin?  Does she win simply by not blinking?

Does the VP debate even take place?
