Last month, John Carney had a 56% approval rating and a 32% disapproval. Those were approval numbers that any politician would have happy with. This month, the results are much more mixed. Carney has a 46% approval rating and a 44% disapproval rating.

Delawareans simply want Democratic representation in Congress. It is a mystery to my that Carney and his team don’t get that. I know the Mike Castle “I’m on every side of the issue” system worked for him for a long time, but Carney has a chance to build his own brand. It is disappointing to me that he is not seizing the opportunity.
Remarkably (well, maybe quite expectedly), the NJ does this massive piece on the GOP’s hopes of gaining control of the state Senate,

and nowhere does it mention Tony DeLuca’s role in making this dream possible.
Pretty shoddy reporting by Jonathan Starkey. He only talked Lavelle, Siglar, Blevins, Staton an Katz.
Well, he got five sources — which meets their standards for an A1 story. Just didn’t get the right five.
