An Equal Opportunity Push Poll in the NCCo Executive Race
I just got push polled by an outfit that I think was called Voter Research. The call came from a Newark, DE number (302-894-7627) that, of course, is “not a working number” according to the automated message you get when you call it back. The poll starts off asking if you are planning to vote in the primary on September 11, 2012. You have to press 1 for yes or 2 for no. I pressed one. The poll then asked if I was planning to vote for 1) Tom Gordon, 2) Paul Clark or 3) Undecided.

The Failure of Delaware Charter Schools
Paul Baumbach, president of Progressive Democrats of Delaware and blogger, has an op-ed in The News Journal the other day which looked at the failing grades our Delaware charter schools have been receiving.
Question of the Day
Why is The News Journal lazy? Specifically, why when there is a state story that may be considered a scandal do they always turn to Greg Lavelle for a quote? Is Charlie Copeland that busy that they can’t alternate weeks?

My Thoughts On Tomorrow’s School Board Elections
I’m not sure what to say about the candidates running for school board since they’ve become an afterthought in this election. The main player in this election is Voices 4 Delaware. Not because of the money, but because of the tone and their failure to understand school board elections. They have cast themselves as Citizens […]
