Tomorrow, Governor Markell will sit down for a “Blogger’s Roundtable” with some of your hardworking Delaware Liberal contributors as well as other preeminent and well known Delaware bloggers to discuss his proposed budget, the Delaware economy, and a host of other pressing issues. We must really give Governor Markell and his wonderful staff all the credit for being open and willing to engage the blogosphere. It is wonderful to have a Governor that views the blogosphere for what it really is: an opportunity to connect to and answers the questions of constituents that he might not otherwise reach.
His engagement with bloggers is nothing new, for he sat down for an extended interview at a diner in Smyrna with myself, Liberalgeek and Cassandra during the campaign. But what happens during the campaign isn’t often indicative of what will happen once in office. Access then does not always equal access now. So before I open the floor to the questions you want asked of the Governor tomorrow, I do wish to thank him and his staff for keeping the dialogue going.
And with that, what do you want us to ask him tomorrow? I am sure we will get our fair share here of right wing questions, framed in the Limbaughian world view, like “why are you an evil socialist communist?” We will do our best to rephrase such questions so that normal human beings can understand it. 😉
