More Delaware GOP Disarray!
The NJ reports that the GOP candidate for Lt. Governor is teaming up with Alex Pires to campaign at an event on Saturday in Newark. Go read that again. The local GOP candidate for Lt. Governor (R-She Didn’t Build That) is NOT campaigning with her party’s nominee for the Senate ( wingnut wannabe Kevin Wade), but with the Independent candidate, Alex Pires.
More Delaware GOP FAIL
The hapless Delaware GOP has decided to show the world just how toothless they currently are by deciding to try to gin up some pressure on Governor Jack Markell to not take a job that he doesn’t have an offer for yet. Seriously — this is what they want to talk about *today*. Remember, Politico posted up their highly speculative article, guessing that Gov. Markell would be selected for Secretary of Education in President Obama’s second term on September 14 (and Delaware Dem wrote about it the same day). 19 days later, GOP Chair Siglar and Gov. candidate Jeff Cragg are haplessly demanding that Governor Markell pledge to serve out his full term. More weak sauce from the Delaware GOP.
Late Night Video — Mitt Romney Style!
Ok, everybody knows about Gangnam Style, right? (And you wish you didn’t, right?) Well the parodies just keep coming and this one may take the prize as the funniest. Join me after the jump to watch Mitt Romney Style:
Breaking: No IDs Required to Vote in Pennsylvania
This just in, and it is good news for the good guys — the lower courts judge who was required to review an earlier decision has made his ruling, mostly leaving the law in place, but noting that if you show up to vote and have no ID, you are allowed to vote. There’s more to come, I’m sure, but this seems to be the nut of it:
Predict the Post Debate Media Narrative!
As Robert Wright notes in his Atlantic article, The Coming Romney Comeback Narrative, the media doesn’t much like a static political narrative. It is the unfortunate byproduct of the horse race reporting they are fond of and the need to capture eyeballs. Wright posits multiple paths that the media narrative may go after tomorrow’s debate (although it is worth it to read his entire article), but jump in the comments to make your own prediction of the new drama the media will be working on after tomorrow’s Presidential Debate.
Late Night Video — Romney’s Business Experience Is Not About Creating Jobs
On the eve of the debates, the Obama Truth Team reminds us what Romney’s “business experience” has wrought on American families:
QOTD — Early Voting for Delaware?
There’s two kinds of early voting — absentee ballots and the in-person voting (but with limited venues open). Delaware only lets you vote absentee — and even then you need to sign an affidavit with an “excuse” for not being available on Election Day. But if you are following the news, then you know that in-person early voting is starting to ramp up. Should Delaware change its rules for early voting?
Late Night Video — The Mitt Romney Latino Outreach Program
So I laughed at this new bit of business from Any Cobb lampooning you-know-who and hope that you do too. Viva!
The Bipartisan Case That Romney Was a Failure as Governor
This video is pretty amazing, actually. And I don’t doubt this — you get the impression even now, that Romney cares about the office as a prize for him ans his people rather than a place to demonstrate some leadership.
Debates at the University of Delaware
This series of debates is sponsored by UD and Delaware First Media. This is a separate set of debates from the WHYY/WDEL events, but another great opportunity to see these candidates up close and personal. These are being held at Mitchell Hall on the UD Newark campus. Both start at 7pm.
President Obama’s Agenda
This is a two minute ad that will go up in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado.
Late Night Video — In Honor of the Wilmington Fringe Festival
Tonight’s selection of from the folks at Awkward Spaceship, who provided a martini-fueled dramatic reading of the contents of a Kraft Mac and Cheese box. Seriously weird, but seriously compelling. I just hope that this isn’t how I behave after a few martinis. And if I do, please don’t tell me.
Wednesday Open Thread [9.26.12]
This Open Thread is brought to you by the NFL replacement referees, who are now calling the Presidential race for Romney. OK!
