McMurray to Challenge Carper?

Yesterday I got a tip from someone that Bill McMurray was going to try to challenge Tom Carper. I reached out to him to see what he has planned.

Filed in National by on July 6, 2012 8 Comments

Speaker Bob Gilligan’s announcement that he would not seek reelection has created quite a seismic shift in local politics. As soon as the election is over, you’ll see all sorts of machinations as to who will get what position in what is virtually certain to still be the House Majority Caucus. But that can wait.

Just as he “helped” Santorum, Foster Friess going to bankroll “smooth like suede” Kevin Wade

Filed in National by on July 5, 2012 10 Comments

He seemed particularly to adopt Wade, the senatorial candidate, even if he did mangle one of the best-known names in state politics as he did. “What’s more important for our country going forward than Kevin Wade serves instead of Tim Carper?” he said.
