Year: 2011

Maybe Herman Cain will be the Republican nominee. The Quinnipiac poll finds Herman Cain still leading the Republican presidential field nationally with 30%, followed by Mitt Romney with 23%, Newt Gingrich with 10% and Rick Perry with 8%. No other candidate tops 7 percent. More importantly, Cain leads a head-to-head race with Romney among Republican voters, 47% to 39%, "coming close to the critical 50% mark, even though more Republicans think Romney has the knowledge and experience to be president." But that's not all... so much polling goodness inside....

Here is the calendar of events for the rest of the this week and next. I would like to especially highlight tonight's Progressive Democrats for Delaware's meeting and this weekend's commencement of Occupy Delaware. I have also highlighted Mitch Crane's fundraiser, as I think it is important that we support him early and often. But it is also important for progressives to go to RD meetings. That is where you, as a Progressive, can be most effective in both shaping your state party and your state government.

Secretary Clinton's mother, Dorothy Rodham, has died at the age of 92. Condoescences to the Clinton family. It would seem that all of us are busy at work today, so I apologize for the lack of posts this morning.

In case you were unaware of the earth stopping news that an attention starved pseudo-celebrity with no discernable skills or societal worth named Kim Kardashian was getting a divorce 72 days after she married to more fanfare than the Royal Wedding, well than, now you know. Since this topic is trending planet-wide on Twitter... Name things that are longer than a Kim Kardashian marriage.

Happy Halloween! And what would Halloween be in Delaware without a tribute to our favorite witch, Christine O'Donnell.

Dogfish Head is releasing a new beer with "deep Delaware roots." This is so important that Governor Markell will be on hand at the announcement. So our dear readers, what will a Delaware centric beer taste like?

Rick Perry gives a weird speech, and Cain has a Clarence Thomas problem.
