UPDATED: The New Face of the GOP

Anuzis didn’t endorse, but I’m willing to bet Steele will pick up at least 5 votes out of Anuzis’ 20. […]

Perfunctory Super Bowl Post

Day 2 Of Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware

Castle is in full spin control mode. I guess he is hearing from the majority of Delawareans that support the President. Keep up the pressure. Call Mike Castle’s office TODAY and tell him to break with the stale, corrupt, partisanship of the GOP and vote with the people of Delaware and President Obama for economic […]
