This is what momentum looks like
Kerri Harris is speaking to a group at the Bellefonte Cafe. 50 voters off the street and on the porch. The candidate has taken 90 minutes of questions. At 7:30 it’s still very hot/humid. Nobody leaves, and someone brings out more chairs. A voter who’s not in the Bellefonte Cafe demographic listens. She describes herself […]
“Kathy McGuiness to Drop From Auditors Race Citing Multiple Conflicts of Interest”
That’s the headline we should be reading in a week or so. Dennis Williams makes a very solid case for why McGuiness needs to drop. Ed Note: This first ran back in April and I’m still waiting for that headline to appear in the NJ
Aug. 29 Open Thread, Late Edition: Monkey in the Middle
Florida voters in both parties rejected the more centrist candidates in yesterday’s primaries, and within hours GOP winner Ron DeSantis, a Trump favorite, was warning voters not to “monkey up” the state by voting for Democrat Andrew Gillum, an African-American. His spokesman says DeSantis meant nothing racial by it. They never do. The saddest thing […]
“Don’t monkey this up” isn’t a saying anyone uses
GOP dog whistles are not dog whistles because they can be heard very clearly by everyone.
“Don’t monkey this up”… “Don’t vote for the nigger.” What’s the difference?
Let’s face it. Racist motherfuckers like Ken Simpler are running the GOP now and the nice polite Republicans don’t give a fuck, because they’ve been winning.
That changes this November.
DL Endorses Tizzy Lockman, Nnamdi Chukwuocha And Sean Lynn For General Assembly
Delaware Liberal endorses two newcomers and one fearless progressive incumbent in their respective primaries. Rep. Sean Lynn is a progressive treasure in Dover. Name the issue and he fights on behalf of those who the Delaware Way insiders routinely ignore. He remains impervious to the pervasive good ol’ boys’ culture that permeates Leg Hall. He […]
A chance for Moderate & Centrist Democrats to step up
This mid-term election will provide moderate Democrats an opportunity to step up and hold their nose while they vote for a candidate more “liberal” than their dream candidate.
Don’t worry moderate & centrist Dems – you can do it. What choice do you have? Are you really going to vote for a Republican? Of course not. Will you abstain and thereby throw your vote to the Republican? C’mon. Be practical.
Don’t be a purist.
Don’t apply your narrow litmus tests.
Don’t be a sore loser.
We agree more than we disagree.
You can do this.
Trust me, I’ve been there.
Song Of The Day: Aug. 29, 2018
One of the great underappreciated soul giants turns Dylan’s ‘Girl From The North Country’ into quite something else:
Home Stretch Fundraiser for Dave Carter
As we’ve documented here New Castle County has a real chance to greatly improve it council by voting out Bill “No Show” Powers (a guy almost 100% funded by developers) and voting in Dave Carter in the upcoming primary. The council has a direct impact on your quality of life and yet, the county council […]
Aug. 28 Open Thread: Google Is RIGGED!
I’m old enough to remember the mockery when President GHW Bush was photographed looking baffled by the then-newfangled grocery store laser scanners. That sprang to mind this morning after Trump apparently Googled himself for the first time. His reaction was classic: “They have it RIGGED” (the caps lock makes it art) to show only the […]
Still On The Fence About Kerri Harris & Chris Johnson?
Maybe this will seal the deal. When Carper was elected to the Senate in 2000, the Washington Post profiled all the new senators, including Carper. Carper was coming off of his two terms as governor, and he was proud of this record: During his time in the House, Carper, a Navy veteran who has an […]
Day After Debate Reactions Thread
Tom Carper’s defense against all of his bad votes is that he was misled and fooled by his Republican friends. How the hell is that a defense? Harris and Carper each want to protect the women’s right to choose. “Women should have some freedom and some choices to make, under the law they do, it’s […]
