The Real McCain — We Wish ABC Would Ask These Questions
Just watch this video from Brave New Films jumping the gun on Sunday’s McCain interview on the ABC yack show. Hysterical. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrJB8dwTrA[/youtube] Update: Crooks and Liars links to a great piece of footage that the HuffPo dug up of George Stephanopolis criticizing the very tactics he put on display during Wednesday’s debate.
Around the Horn Friday — DE Libertarian Style
Steve Newton has ably surveyed the DE Blogosphere this week to show that at least we’ve been darned busy. I especially like his continuation of Brian’s feature of adding a couple of blogs outside of this circle that we might have never seen. Very nice job, indeed, Steve. All the rest of you head over […]
Biden Calls Out BushMcCain
More of this please! “When it comes to Iraq, there is no daylight between John McCain and George W. Bush. They are joined at the hip. When it comes to Iraq, there will be no change with a McCain administration.” Wonder if Joe is auditioning for VP here — it doesn’t matter though, all Democrats […]
Adventures in Maverickyness — Does He Know Where He Is? Edition
John McCain has had some trouble recently in breaking through the news — given the still fiercely pitched Dem primary fight — these days (and the fundraising is pretty anemic — $15M?) too. But there are interesting bits that are being reported here and there that we ought to take a good hard look at […]

You have to go to the DSEA’s website to register for this. All three declared candidates for Governor will be at this […]
Do This Today
Mike Matthews (from Down With Absolutes) has posted his excellent writeup on the utterly industry-funded candidate for Insurance Commissioner, Gene Reed over at his blog at Delawareonline. His blog entry is currently on the front page of the WNJ’s website. Forget that the new version of delawareonline.com is a perfect mess (it simply won’t work […]
Governor’s Debate: Health Care
The Health Care debate between Jack Markell and John Carney started abit late on Friday morning — a good thing, since I was running really late. The auditorium was pretty much full (but not as many folks as at the Education debate), and this crowd was abit more sedate. The News Journal has written this […]
The IRS Making Sure Your Rebate Gets Spent
This was on Marketplace this evening: Most taxpayers will get anywhere from $600 to $1,200 from Uncle Sam as part of the federal plan to stimulate the economy. But many taxpayers will use the money to pay down debts instead. So, the IRS isn’t taking any chances. Listen to the segment here. (There is a […]
The Incredible Shrinking Republican Base, or
Who Wants to Be a Republican? This article in today’s NJ documents the increasing weakness of the DE Republican party, noting the serious shift in voter registration from R to D this year. It seems that much of the reasons for the shift are a perception of more excitement on the D side (both for […]
The First Debate: Education
Attendees of the debate tonight between Democratic gubernatorial Jack Markell and John Carney on Education pretty much filled the lower space of the Grand and there were some folks who ventured up to the (cordoned off) area upstairs. Markell supporters were very visible – ranging from the kids outside with signs and cheers (having some […]
