WHYY/WDEL Debates for Governor, House, Senate Races Set
Mark your calendars! The local General Election debate season is upon us and this notice is of a series of three debates being sponsored/presented by WHYY and WDEL for the Governor’s race, the House Representative race and the Senate race. The (edited) press release with the details follows:
Could Someone Tell Me Why Scott Brown Thinks This Is A Winning Strategy?
Scott Brown keeps hammering Elizabeth Warren’s Native American claim. And I mean hammering. Here’s the thing. Yeah, it’s embarrassing, but is that really all he’s got? He brings it up constantly, and I’m not sure why. Is there a large Native American vote he’s wooing? đ Seems to me this line of attack isn’t going to change many votes, and yet it’s almost all you hear about when Scott Brown speaks. Sure, take the shot, toss it in occasionally, but building your entire campaign around it? I just don’t get it.
Brown is obviously very offended by Warren’s Native American claim, but then his campaign goes and does this:
Staffers for Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) reportedly participated in war-whoop sounds and âtomahawk chopâ gestures at supporters of Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, mocking Warrenâs claimed Native American ancestry.
Did O’Donnell delivery the watermellon of doom to Mitt?
Vance Phillips wasn’t around to hand off the watermelon of doom, so did the job fall to Christine O’Donnell. The Commander Guy thinks so…
Senator Coons: Support The Internet Radio Fairness Act
I love Pandora. (The blogger and the internet radio). I just got this email from Pandora (the internet radio) asking for our support.
The Polling Report [9.25.12]

The cherry on the top of the sundae that was the 2008 election was Obama winning the 2nd Congressional District in Nebraska. Nebraska is one of two states (the other being Maine) that apportions its electoral votes by congressional district winner and state wide winner. The statewide winner gets 2 electoral votes, and then the winner of each of the three congressional districts in Nebraska get one electoral vote each. The 2nd Congressional District in Nebraska encompasses the Omaha area, one of the more Democratic areas of Nebraska, relatively speaking.
After the “embarrassment” of having a Democrat win a Nebraska electoral vote for the first time since 1964, Nebraska Republicans first attempted to pass legislation eliminating proportional representation, but that failed. Then through redistricting, they made the 2nd CD more Republican. But a new poll has been released showing a tie in the 2nd CD between Romney and Obama. Wouldn’t be something if Obama wins that Nebraska electoral vote again? Indeed, I consider it a canary in a coal mine: a sign of the coming Obama landslide.

Is Mitt Dumb too?
I mean, he can’t be serious in the following quote, right? Because if he is, then … whoa. As you may have heard, on Friday, Ann Romney’s airplane had to make an emergency landing on Friday in Colorado due to an electrical fire in the plane that did send smoke into the cabin. Gratefully, nobody was hurt.
Monday Open Thread [9.24.12]
“Well, it doesn’t need a turnaround. I’ve got a very effective campaign. It’s doing a very good job.” — Mitt Romney, in an interview on 60 Minutes.
Anymore, Mitt Romney seems to be the very type of arrogant, entitled, delusional Wall Street monster who destroyed our economy in the first place. And to prove that, Mr. Romney awarded his senior campaign staff $200,000 in bonuses after the GOP Convention, according to Politico. Mind you, the Convention is widely viewed as an epic disaster that gave Romney a negative bounce. Sounds just like Wall Street.

We have a more truncated report this morning, which is good because the last few days have been full of polling goodness, but still, pollsters, and those polled, need a break. We have three new state polls out today, all good news for the President.
Obama’s 47% Ad
This ad hits every note by linking Romney’s 47% statement on taxes to his own, not yet released, taxes. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojpl-JzPDkg&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
Behind the Numbers in Local Races: Updated
This week I was granted access to some of the polling data gathered by a new local communications firm, Out of the Box. One of the men behind the curtain is Richard Korn, former Democratic candidate for Auditor. Richard sat down with me to answer questions about the polling that Out of the Box did for local races, including Insurance Commissioner, SD11 (Deluca v. Townsend), Mayor of Wilmington and County Executive.
Deluca v. Townsend and Wilmington Mayor are first up…
Good News/Bad News Monday
The good news: Obama continues to kick ass. “Obama to win” positions hit new highs in both major trading markets over the weekend. (71% Intrade & 70 IEM).
The bad news: Republican billionaires are committed to a strategy of harassment and intimidation of Democratic voters while bankrolling huge GOTV efforts among conservatives. …
