The Next Generation of Delaware’s Leadership is Almost Exclusively Female
Lisa Blunt Rochester is probably going to replace Carper amicably (although I’d prefer a violent primary battle). Sarah McBride clearly has statewide potential and ambitions. Kathy Jennings must be considered in that group. Will Chris Coons continue to rot in place and defy the manifest will of Delaware’s voters? Betting on Coons being allowed to pull a Bill Roth is a long shot. Coons is no Roth. That means only Matt Meyer has path to a future statewide office.
Even statehouse level leadership will be all female eventually. The shift has already underway in the Senate. In the house, Pete (an unhealthy looking 67 years old) is a lumbering bumbling dinosaur. After him I don’t see a very deep bench among the guys.
I’m not saying the matriarchy will be any more enlightened or progressive than what we’ve had, but I’m not sad. The guys have had a nice long run.
Sport Gambling Overtakes Cancer, Now Tied With American Christianity as the Worst Thing Ever
I have no link, because I have no story. I just have this nagging feeling that the unregulated sport gambling isn’t super great for America.
Everything will always be second to social media as the worst thing wver
good point. I also forgot American style Christianity. This is probably a good poll topic.
Can I just make a point with no judgement towards whether this person is good or not good….. but “next generation leadership” for Kathy Jennings? She’s nearly 70 years old.
True. But I think she’d be a great Governor.
BTW, we simply HAVE to add Marie Pinkney and Madinah Wilson-Anton to the list.
Serious legislators who are moving their respective caucuses towards progressivism.
Point taken.
Current Sr Senator Carper 74
Current Jr Senator Coons 58
Current Governor Carney 65
Rep in Congress LBR 59
so she should be carpers age if she were to run for governor……. is that next generation? im not sure of your point here? other than proving mine?
Yeah. It was proving your point. She is old. “Next generation” doesn’t fit in her case. I was agreeing.
“American Style Christianity” is actually Southern Style Christianity, that’s what elevated it to cult status and made the cruelty of the old testament into an authoritative road map to force it on the rest of us. Being old sucks, but having a good memory (so far) makes it a little more fun as you remind our far right brethren what conservatism and Christianity used to mean.
