Continued Reaction

I have been busy this morning reading through all of the reactions from readers of TPM and Andrew Sullivan that were posted by each blog, as well as the reactions of others columnists and bloggers and opinion makers, etc. Here are a few that stood out to me.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show, Thurs., May 10, 2012

The Sheriff of Nuttingham and His Posse Comatosis could be nearing the end of their lawless reign. HB 325(Schwartzkopf), which would make clear that would-be Wyatt Earps can't mete out their own brand of frontier justice in the untamed badlands of Sussex County, cleared the House Administration Committee, and is on today's House agenda. It will pass overwhelmingly. The only question is whether any of the bill's original downstate House R sponsors will vote for the bill they had previously sponsored. My prediction? Most of them won't, and will go Not Voting, the ultimate cojone-less copout.

Mitch Crane kicks off his Campaign today in Dover

It starts at 12:30 over at the Old State House on the Green in Dover. Mitch will be joined by a number of legislators who already support his candidacy to unseat the incompetent advocate for the insurance industry, Karen Weldin Stewart.
