Lessons from history

Eight years ago Delaware Liberal, at the time a broadsheet hand scribed on 24lb premium linen paper, admonished Thurman Adams to "Die or get off the pot!" Adams, never one to get off the pot, later died. That's how powerful the broadsheet was back before Twitter. A few years later, this blog's dogged reporting and rapier wit caused Mike Castle to quit politics. Now we are engaged in getting rid of Tom Carper. If history is any guide, Carper is done.
