Liveblogging Castle’s Townhall Meeting

Because everyone has an interest in health care. Castle says this is his third live townhall + 3 telephone townhalls. Lots of police here – […]
Question of the Day
Will the addition of the Wilmington native, Kelly, interest you in watching Survivor this year?
Mike Castle Townhall Tonight!
DD posted about this yesterday, but I’m posting again to ask two favors. Favor #1: Please try to attend if you can. Castle may be a lost cause, but we need to let him know where his constituents stand on health care reform. Favor #2: I’m going to try to attend if I can (I […]
Lessson learned?
Foot in a cast again, beer on the Italian tiled step he paid a Cuban immigrant to lay because he is unable to do it himself. The brightness of the room’s day burst in from the multiple windows. His wife is in the kitchen preparing for supper. His son, all of 10 months, orange hair, […]
When You’re Fishing In A Shallow Pool…
…Survey questions like this make sense. “It has been suggested that the government could use voter registration to determine a person’s political affiliation, prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system. Does this possibility concern you?” This inanity comes from the latest GOP fundraising […]
Michael Steele Is The Perfect Leader For The GOP
Michael Steele both loves and hates Medicare. He is both opposed to government-run health care and doesn’t want any cuts. He doesn’t wants cuts to Medicare, but he does.

Paul Clark and Georgie Smiley are working at a bank shot with this bill — trying to pretend that the work of the Commission doesn’t count with the public unless they find a problem:
Same as the Old Boss?
Brandywine School District has announced that Dr. Mark Holodick, principal of Concord High School, is the sole finalist for the superintendent position in the Brandywine School District left vacant when Dr. James Scanlon left, reports The Community News. With a child in the Brandywine School District, I was saddened when Scanlon said he was leaving. […]
Crazy Eileen Gets a Second Chance to Shine.
Congressman Mike Castle will hold a Town Hall meeting at the Christiana Hospital Education Center at 6 pm tomorrow.

I have to think someone will ask that question, since we […]
