See what happens when you don’t pay the paperboy?
There’s not much point in linking to news stories this late in the day. Use the space to make your predictions, air your concerns, mock Republicans… the floor’s yours.
For those who haven’t seen it, Lewis Black had some advice for those all-important undecided voters.
Lurker from the 21st. I’ve seen Ramone somehow have 9 lives politically. I’m still trying to process how Burns almost lost the primary here. My only hypothesis is that people thought it was the other Mike Smith. Did the primary for gov and the strange tendency for this district to elect Republicans leave it open for a tight rep race and statewide a narrow Ramone win over Meyer? Brenda is an absolute nightmare yet somehow being less vocal this election cycle. Ramone and Smith for that matter sure like to pretend to not be republicans, so I guess she’s following the play book.
Ramone had built up quite a bit of support over many cycles. Burns almost beat him in 2022, just one of the reasons he moved to Suxco.
As to the primary, some of the same Dover insiders backing Pete and Val were pushing for the Other Mike Smith.
I think Ramone will outperform the R registration as some BHL D’s will vote for him, but I still look for a pretty solid Meyer win.
Not just BHL folks, but I know of a few disgruntled Dems who are still upset about his handling of comprehensive rezoning in NCC. Of course that’s not going to be enough to change the vote, but he’s made some enemies.
Is Mike having his party at La Casa Pasta too?
I’m sure the people who lost their livelihoods and reputations because of Bethany would love for something to come from it. Unfortunately for them it’s just the end of their influence. Thankfully so. There are other states to live in.
Btw. I’ve been so impressed with Colin Omaras commitment to Delaware and democrats here. He’s been everywhere getting out the vote and helping people other than himself.
Lol
I only saw him helping some council candidate in Sussex. He probably chose Sussex because it’s closer to his real house in Maryland.
O’Mara likely positioning himself for an appointment to the Senate after Harris appoints Coons as ambassador to Bidenville.
Well running against the guy who is going to do the appointing sounds like a pretty bad way to go about it! But. I have no doubt that was the agreement with Bethany.
People on this blog thought Bethany was going to win and she got trounced by 10 points. Now people think Ramone will win? And Colin will be appointed to a senate seat? What planet do yall live on?
Ramone would have a chance if he didn’t raise a pathetic amount of money. One thing I’ve been surprised about is I have not seen anything from Meyer or Ramone’s campaigns besides yard signs. Not a single ad or anything.
My guess is Ramone gets within 3-5 pts but that’s best case. That would not be good for Stell and Russ.
You’re an idiot.
Fortunately we have elections to show who the actual idiot is. But either way we are both saying Meyer is going to win. Just one of us has a stick up their ass about it.
The wind is coming out of the Trump lovers sails, noticed a lack of fiery declarations and ultimatums from the troops, the corporate media has substituted “Cognitive Decline” in place of dementia so as not to rile the “Yeah he’s senile, but I’ll still vote for him!” types and Trump remains a one man wrecking crew of his campaign. The Republicans remain their own worst enemies, then again so are the Dems.
I am begging Democrats to stop pissing their pants constantly.
There’s no evidence that we’re in for some bizarre red wave in Delaware. Just be cautiously optimistic for once in your lives please.
Why shouldn’t they be worried? Their message should be so strong that Trump should be at 30% or worse. Dems are losing their grip on core constituencies including blacks, Jews, hispanics, and trade unions. Kamala might eke out a victory but the party is in shambles. The tent is too big and is collapsing under its own weight

Political gravity is the only thing propping up the dem electeds in Delaware. There are no organized political parties in Delaware. WFP is the closest thing but they have no influence statewide. The state party is useless and the chair can’t get 5 people in a room for a fundraiser that aren’t lobbyists.
