National news dominated the last week, save the special election in the 37th RD won by the new Lobbyist Representative Ruth Briggs King. Please note that if a blog has no story entries this week, it is because they did not have a local Delaware political story this week. Still, I have provided a link to them because many of us had great writing this week on national events, from the President’s health care reform speech to his education speech to the horrible GOP reaction to both. And some are worth visiting just like it is worth slowing down to look at an accident on the highway. Like Delaware Politics thinking that Glenn Beck is an unstoppable force.
