We received a tip this evening that there was some sort of physical altercation at County Council between Councilman Vance Phillips and Sheriff Jeff Christopher. Georgetown Police were called to the County Council Building by the sheriff. The matter is under investigation by the police and no arrests have been made at this time. Note that during this altercation, one of the people was armed (guess who?).

Another day, another poll showing Cain leading in yet another state. Now he leads Romney in Ohio, 28% to 23%. So Cain has survived so far his abortion train wreck where he held every position on the subject in a matter of 24 hours, and the smoking white guy ad. Why is he the frontrunner? Simple. He is likeable.

Many in this area, if not the overwhelming majority of Mr. Kelley’s constituents, are Phillies fans.

It’s not OK because it’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be,” – Rick Santorum, taking the Christianist war against individual freedom back to contraception.

We’ll be talking Occupy Delaware, the latest Wilmington mayoral developments, Nancy Cook, Michele Rollins and much more. The Al Mascitti Show airs every week day on WDEL-1150 AM from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. I’ll be on at 10. I do believe that the masked sleepwalker may also make an appearance as well.

Let’s start with the announcement rollout on Monday by Charles Potter and Dennis Williams – as I noted in my Sunday post, the Williams announcement was expected sometime this week. Yet Monday afternoon, Potter sends an email to his list declaring for Williams’ Representative seat, clearly catching Williams off-guard (see Esteban Parra’s article here).
