Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Pete Schwartzkopf
Pete is well liked. As Majority Leader, he garners a 65% approval rating, 50% of which is strong approval. The one black mark on his record continues to be John Atkins. Pete is responsible for his presence within the Democratic Caucus, and I wonder if, today, he regrets at all that decision.

Police Chief On Trayvon Martin Case Is “Sure” Both, George Zimmerman And Trayvon, Wished They Would Have Done Things Differently
What exactly should Trayvon Martin have done differently? Not walked to the store? Not worn a hoodie?
There is something very, very wrong in Sanford, Florida. And I’m beginning to think what happened to Trayvon Martin is related to how the Sanford Police run their department. I’m beginning to think that George Zimmerman knew, if faced with what happened on February 26th, he’d get off… maybe even get a pat on the back, or a medal. And if he had actually shot and killed a “bad guy” he’d probably be heralded as a hero today. And that is a frightening thought. Far too often stories of a heroic citizen gunman are touted as the reason why guns are good, while stories of gun tragedies are dismissed as isolated incidents that shouldn’t be considered in the equation.

Dead Teenager And No Arrest
I’ve been following this story for the past week, and I’m surprised by how long it’s taken the national media to cover it.
Trayvon Martin was killed in Sanford, Florida last week three weeks ago. He was killed by a Neighborhood Watch member, who followed him for several minutes, and called Sanford 911 to report a person acting suspiciously. That person was a 140lb African American teenager who was in the gated community visiting his father and step mother. When he called 911, the Neighborhood Watch member, George Zimmerman, was told not to approach or engage the person he was following. Instead, he killed Trayvon Martin with a handgun. Trayvon had a can of soda and a bag of skittles. You get to guess which ethnic group George Zimmerman is NOT a member of.

A sickening bumper sticker that was seen really says it all.
What’s With the GOP’s “all in” Bet in Gasoline Prices?
Mitt Romney recently had this to say about the documentary on Obama’s first term directed by Davis Guggenheim:
“I’ll give you some help, Mr. Guggenheim,” Romney said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “You can make a call to some of the moms that are having a hard time paying for gas as they get their kids to and from school and practice and music lessons. And you can also talk to the people who are having a hard time getting to and from work, given the price of gasoline.”
