Why Allen West Will NOT Be Romney’s Running Mate
The Fix has an interesting post cataloging the reasons why Rep. Allen West (R-Florida) will not be Romney’s pick as his vice-presidential candidate. There are many, but probably the most damning is the one that got West relieve of his command in the Army.
DL Tracking Poll Results — Tom Kovach (R) (Round 2)
Sorry, I was so busy yesterday and tired from the Easter weekend that I stood up my colleague Nemski for dinner. I completely forgot. So it makes sense that I forgot to post the latest round of tracking poll results from the weekend. Last month, Mr. Kovach, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, enjoyed a 49% favorable rating and a 37% unfavorability rating. This month, both of his ratings have increased. His favorability rating has increased to 50%, and his unfavorability rating is 40%.
Tuesday Open Thread [4.10.12]
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Obama has double-digit leads over Mitt Romney on who would do a better job of protecting the middle class, handling international affairs and dealing with health care. On personal traits, the president’s edge is even bigger: He has a better than 2-to-1 advantage as the more friendly and likable of the two, and nearly that margin as “more inspiring.”

Hearings Today on the DART Plan to Move the Rodney Square Bus Hub
Those hearings are at 11:30AM and at 5PM at the Carvel Building in downtown Wilmington. The current DART plan remove all of the bus stops at Rodney Square and then scatter them around on King, French, Shipley, Ninth and 12th streets. Which makes it very difficult for people to transfer between lines and provides a real disincentive for people to use the buses.

Monday Open Thread [4.09.12]
In the national GOP’s eyes, Delaware is most definitely an ophan state, as the state GOP here is in disarray, if not in outright war with itself. But then again, save Tom Kovach and the U.S. House race, since the state GOP has utterly failed at recruiting any credible candidates to challenge Sen. Carper, Gov. Markell and Lt. Gov. Denn, I wonder if the RNC will even bother with Delaware. Since the GOP has the House majority without Carney’s seat, they are unlikely to spend money in a state that will guaranteed to go Democratic in the fall, and which has a favorite son on the Presidential ticket.
Obama’s Approval Rating Up Slightly
Though, it’s not very much, it appears as if there is a trend here as Obama’s numbers continue to move up. I guess we need to that the Republican War on Women and the Democrats finally fighting back.
