Community Feedback

We here at Delaware Liberal are preparing to upgrade the site design. It is coming soon, but not immediately. Part of that site redesign is a possible redesign of our logo. The current logo and the secondary logo have been in use for a year now. We may not change it, or we may just tinker with the font and color. But this has allowed me to indulge in a hobby of mine: graphic design. So I have developed some new logos that I want to share with the community to get your feedback. Now, some of these logos were met with horror and disgust on the part of my fellow Delaware Liberal contributors. So it is possible that even if you all love them, they won’t be used. Indeed, we even have a professional designing a logo, but that one is not ready yet.

So, just let me know what you think:

Delaware Democratic Convention Wrap-Up: Delegate’s View

10 Comments

Well, I’m back from the Delaware Democratic convention. It was an interesting time. A little more chaotic than I expected, but really no fireworks. The atmosphere pre-convention was really quite intense, with delegates really getting lobbied on the leadership race. I felt like I wanted to hide for a while, really. Here are the outcomes:

State Party Chair: John Daniello
John Daniello won the state chairmanship pretty decisively, although I didn’t think his disorganized speech helped him any. He also seemed confused on what to do and in what order. Isn’t he supposed to have done this before? There was a really classy nomination speech by Brian McGlinchey. I didn’t really hear any concessions from Daniello on the things he was criticized about, but the feeling of a lot of delegates is that we have gained some leverage over Daniello. I guess only time will tell. I met with McGlinchey before the convention started and I must say he was very impressive. I hope he can have a positive influence on the party moving forward.

Vice Chair (Female): Harriet Smith Windsor
I thought she gave a really good speech. She had a funny story about her son – when a group of kids were asked their religion, he said “Democrat.” Very cute.

Vice Chair (Male): Jim Hussey
He also gave a good speech.

Secretary: Margaret Rose Henry
Treasurer: Helene Keeley
Both gave good speeches

National Committeewoman: Karen Valentine
National Committeeman: Bob Gilligan
I thought Gilligan was excellent in the speechifying department. He told a story about his mother, and how she cried when Eisenhower was elected.
