More Americans are comfortable voting for a gay person for President than an evangelical Christian. Think about that for just a minute. Seems like *somebody* took back the mantle of the Moral Majority, right? And if I'm Reince Priebus, I'm seriously worried.

Pandering, not baseball, has always been Smyrna's pastime. It is good to see Lumpy is keeping the tradition alive.

Delaware lawmakers score political points by offering free fishing tags to firefighters and discounted annual park fees to seniors. But those giveaways cost Delaware's parks system more than $750,000 in uncollected revenue each year, according to state figures.

DL GOP Fantasy Pool Update – Is Jeb Bush DOA?

Perhaps the most surprising Fantasy News so far is how badly top pick, Jeb Bush, is doing. A new Quinnipiac poll of likely Iowa Republican presidential caucusgoers finds Jeb Bush in SEVENTH place with a measly 5%, trailing behind both Ben Carson (7%) and chlamydia (6%). Is it possible that Bush MAY NEVER EVEN ANNOUNCE, thereby netting a big zero for AQC and Del Dem? I doubt it. Despite being hated by Iowa caucusgoers, Jeb Bush remains popular among billionaires with money to blow. So why not collect sacks of cash on his way to whatever lobbying job lies ahead?
