On the one hand I think, why should he run on anything? The GOP is putting up some tomato can against him. He simply needs to show up. Then I think, why not just go ahead and say that he wants to unleash economic growth by cutting taxes on the wealthiest people and corporations in the state, and thereby screw over everyone else, just like a normal Democrat. It doesn't seem to be a risky strategy.

Open Revolt at the Democratic Party Convention in NH

During Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's speech at the New Hampshire Deocratic Party's convention was interrupted by what looks like a fair number of people calling for more debates in the upcoming Presidential season. It *is* in New Hampshire, where Bernie Sanders is doing really well, but still, I'm delighted with the pushback against ms. Wasserman-Schultz who looks pretty lackluster from here.

Joe Biden “may have more time to make up his mind about running for president than most people assume,” Politico reports. “Various deadlines have been floated: End of summer, Oct. 1, the first Democratic debate on Oct. 13, the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson dinner Oct. 24. But none of these is looking like a hard deadline. Neither are any of the cutoff dates for getting his name on state ballots. … It turns out that instead of simply deciding yes or no on a presidential run, Biden may have a third option — make no announcement at all, wait until December (or longer) and hope Clinton gets out of the race or is pushed to the sidelines without him having to get in.”

Jeb Bush says his brother kept us safe. Well, except that one time when 3,000 Americans were killed. Well, except that one time when he lied to create a war and then 4,486 Americans died and 1 million Americans were gravely injured. Well, except that one time when he let the city of New Orleans drown.

Wonder if these "rules" will apply to Dem women? Here's the Delaware Republican Party statement:
Newark, DE: Delaware Republican Party Chairman Charlie Copeland has issued the following statement regarding the release of disturbing audio tapes in which Sussex County GOP officials make offensive comments about women leaders in the Delaware Republican Party and about women in general: The recent release of audio recordings by DelawareRight.com in which Sussex County Republican leaders take aim at leaders of the Delaware Federation of Republican Women and the Sussex County Republican Women are offensive and counter to the fundamental beliefs of the Republican Party.
