8-Ball sez: “Signs Point To Yes”:

The Department Of Natural Resources & Environmental Control has long since signaled that ‘environmental control’ means controlling the application of Delaware’s environmental laws to primarily benefit the corporate polluters. Even the most blatant and toxic of violations yield only a slap on the wrist. Allegedly b/c of ‘jobs’, though what’s left unsaid is ‘making Delaware safe for business, no matter what the cost to its citizens’.
I will say it: So far, Kathy Jennings has functioned as the AG that I hoped Chris Johnson would be. She is our only statewide elected official representing at least some progressive ideals. BTW, you may also have missed that she publicly opposed the reintroduction of the death penalty in Delaware last week.
I’m on the bandwagon.
I did not expect this either but she’s running for Governor in 2024. If she keeps up she be our best hope I defeating bhl aka an extension of Carney or Nicole Poore aka corruption or Valerie longhurst aka blahhh
She will be 70 or 71 if she runs for Gov in ’24. We’re getting into Bernie/Biden territory here. Keep in mind, her reforms, if they’re going to take effect, will have to be supported by the dullards in the General Assembly. As long as Pete an Val and Dave and Nicole are around, I wouldn’t hold my breath. By 2024, she will have more enemies than Carney has friends.
Well considering Biden and Bernie are both 7 years old and leading in the polls that may not be the best analogy
If Biden and Bernie are still leading the polls a year from now, and both in good health, I’ll reconsider that portion of my argument.
However, given the breadth of Jennings’ criminal justice reform proposals, and the fact that it’s five years until the next gubernatorial election, I’ll stand with my premise that by then she will have more enemies than Carney will have friends.
You realize that “leading in the polls” 18 months before an election is indicative of almost nothing.
Let’s see what happens once we get to the point late this fall, after the candidates have made their pitches to the electorate instead of to the political press. If Democratic voters decide to go with Joe’s backward-looking vision, they’ll get the second Trump term they deserve.
Indicative of nothing?!
Tell that to ex President Howard Dean!
OK, as soon as I get in touch with Jeb Bush.
I was not expecting to be impressed by her, but, I am pleasantly surprised.
