Atlas Smirked

The law of unintended consequences is a cruel mistress. I wonder what transparently partisan Republican a-hole, Antonin Scalia, is going to have to say if/when the health insurance industry in America collapses and is replaced by a nationalized single payer system?

Monday Open Thread [4.2.12]

Tomorrow there are primaries in D.C., Wisconsin and Maryland. And then after that, the next primaries are on April 24, which serves as a sort of "Greater Northeast" primary. The states holding elections that day are our own first state, Delaware, as well as Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York. Romney is going to win Maryland and D.C., and in a few weeks he will win New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. For Santorum to continue any semblance of a campaign, and for him to have any reason at all to continue, he should really win Wisconsin, and he absolutely has to win Pennsylvania. If he does not win his home state, then he should be dragged from the race kicking and screaming. So, we are down to Frothy's Last Stand. It was fun while it lasted.

DL Tracking Poll Results — Auditor Tom Wagner (Round 2)

Last month, Tom Wagner scored a 55% approval rating, making him by far the most popular Delaware Republican alive today. His disapproval was 43%. Our new poll finds his approval to have fallen 9 points to 46%, while his disapproval rating has risen by nearly the same margin of 8 points, or to 51%. I think that makes him still the most popular Republican in Delaware.
