SOTU — Put Your Pundit Hat On

This evening, President Obama goes to the House and delivers his State of the Union Address, and address that is widely advertised as either a bookend to the Osawatomie speech from last month, or an extension of it.

‘Bulo on Al’s Show Today-Tues. Jan. 24, from 10-12

Yep, 10 a.m. 1150-WDEL Newsradio on your AM dial. Al Mascitti and I will be talking Delaware politics and the goings-on in Dover. And El Somnambulo apparently has discovered a legit link between pro rasslin' and...Rick Santorum! But he's not talking. At least, not until 10 this morning...

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Tues., Jan. 24, 2012

Little of interest in the Senate today. There's a bill from the Joint Sunset Committee eliminating some state agencies, boards, or committees that no longer serve a public purpose. Or perhaps never served a public purpose. Not that they're the only ones... There's more action in the House today. Should be an interesting roll call on HB 222(Jaques), which would require the Department of Labor to ‘publish the names of employers who have violated the Workplace Fraud Act, by misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor or otherwise.’ Let's see who favors screwing the little guy by claiming that an employee really isn't an 'employee'.

ANOTHER Republican Debate Open Thread

If you're watching (NBC at 9pm)... this thread's for you. Here are my thoughts: Romney's been talkin' tough all day. Tonight he has to bring that trash talk to Newt - as he's been promising to do all day. My first thought was that Newt would take Mitt's attacks and shove them back down his throat, and then I thought... maybe not. Okay, hear me out. Mitt Romney absolutely stinks at attacks. His delivery is really, really bad. Perhaps Newt plays the "reasonable" guy staring in amazement at the bumbling lunatic.

Monday Open Thread [1.23.12]

I'm busy at work today, so I was only able to find two polls on Florida and not much else. Gingrich is leading in both, and PPP teases that Romney and Gingrich are neck and neck.

Markell Raises an Impressive $1.4 Million

and Charlie Copeland is either bitter or jealous enough to throw his own Republican gubernatorial candidate under the bus..
Former state Sen. Charlie Copeland, one of the governor's chief Republican critics, said Markell's $1.4 million is more than enough to win a gubernatorial race in Delaware. "I think anytime he leaves the state, he's having a fundraiser," said Copeland, who is supporting [little known Brandywine business man Jeff] Cragg. "Why are all of these people out-of-state giving him this money he's not going to need this year?"
I am suprised Charlie had to ask the question, but in so doing, he made a glaring admission.
