Sussex County's former Clerk of the Peace, George Parrish, is running for state insurance commissioner as a Republican. The last we heard of this theocratic idiot was when he announced that he would perform civil union ceremonies even though he believed they were discriminatory towards heterosexuals somehow. Here is what he said back then:

“As I have reviewed all my legal options, administrative options and political options, I have determined that I took an oath in support of the Constitution and the rule of law should prevail,” said Parish, who lives in Long Neck. “It’s because of that and because if I were to resign, liberal Gov. Jack Markell would have the opportunity to appoint a potential liberal to succeed me and that’s unacceptable to George Parish because Sussex County voters should be the source of deciding and electing the next clerk of the peace of Sussex County." [...] Parish favors a constitutional amendment that would define marriage in Delaware as between a man and a woman. [...] He believes Delaware’s new law is discriminatory against heterosexuals.

So now the 74 year old former Clerk of Peace wants to be Insurance Commissioner. Hey, I want a change at that position too. I just don't want an old bigot who likely opposes Obamacare to be that change.

Pew Research did some ... well research into the political leanings of our country and guess what? We are a center left nation. Dare I say it? A liberal nation. Pew Research found that more demographic groups lean Democratic than Republican, and more Americans lean towards supporting Democrats. We also reveal inside that Rand Paul is not a libertarian, he just plays one on TV. And we learn that "Benjamin Netanyahu" is Hebrew for "George W. Bush."

Education is the third rail of Delaware politics. You touch it, you die. How else do you explain the overwhelmingly negative opinion of Governor Markell's job performance among Delaware Liberal readers. 42% strongly disapprove. Another 28% somewhat disapprove. That's a total of 70% disapproving of your job performance, which only 29% approve. Governor Markell and his aides can take solace in the fact that this is not a scientific poll at all.
