The press conference/Pep rally for the announcement that the Boxwood Rd. auto plant has just concluded. We will now refer to the plant as the Fisker plant. I am still in a state of shock. It was a tour de force of Delaware politicos. Huge kudos are in order for Governor Markell for his attention to this issue and for putting together this event. Getting Joe Biden was the perfect touch.
Some key points:
- Joe Biden still has it
- Delawareonline may not have a future as a newspaper, but as a broadcaster they rock
- Jack Markell knows how to woo businesses
- Combining this with the smart grid announcement today by President Obama will position Delaware in the catbird seat (remember Willett Kempton? He’s back…)
- Geeks are cool again
- Fast cars don’t have to burn through gas at a rate of 10mpg
- Healthcare reform is essential to bringing this economy back from the brink
If you missed it, don’t sweat it. Here it is. Watch it and feel the goosebumps.
