Post Mortem: At least we beat Deluca….
I will be posting a comprehensive General Election preview tomorrow now that the slates are set, but I wanted to post my thoughts on what transpired tonight first.
An Axis of Deceit: The Gordon/KWS/Williams/Bullock Cabal
So the Tom Gordon/Karen Weldin Stewart/Dennis P. Williams/Christopher Bullock cabal has yet again decieved the Democratic Primary voter by handing out this flyer today, saying the Party has endorsed them all. I guess they are Post-Truth Democrats, aren’t they? Meanwhile the truth is the Democratic Party has endorsed Paul Clark (not that I am happy about that, mind you), Mitch Crane, and Renee Taschner, and offered no endorsement in the Wilmington Mayor’s race.
So perhaps you want to ask one of the four (who will hopefully all lose tonight) why they feel so comfortable with lying.
My Shocking Prediction for Tonight:
Bill Shahan is going to win the County Executive race. Post yours below:
Tuesday Open Thread [9.11.12]
It is called Schadenfreude, and I enjoy it immensely.
“In boxing, you know one fighter is trailing in points when, in the final rounds, he throws everything he can to land a knockout blow against his opponent. The same is largely true in presidential politics. And so yesterday while campaigning in Ohio, we saw Mitt Romney and his team try to throw the kitchen sink at President Obama.”

The Polling Report [9.11.12]

Yesterday we concentrated on national tracking polls. Today we have some new national nontracking polls to obsess over, all showing substantial bounces for President Obama. And we also have some new state polls too. But first, our new map…

September 11, 2001 was 11 years ago today. I think this is the first anniversary of that horrible day when it fell on the actual day of the week that the attack happened on, a Tuesday. I don’t know why that makes a difference, but to me it does.
The heroes that day were our first responders: our police, our firefighters and our EMTs. Across the country, but especially in the Northeast where the attacks occurred, you will see memorials to their service and in their honor. Such a memorial is this mural on the side of what Wilmington Fire Department at what location?
Lots of Calls Tonight
I have had one from Tom Gordon from Oklahoma (405-308-4474). I had another anti-Karen Weldin Stewart call, but I could not hear who it was from. It was couched as a Voter Alert about somebody withdrawing support from KWS due to her actions in office. The call came from 302-415-3500. And I just got a call from Dave Brady, reminding me to vote tomorrow for him, even though I am no longer in his district. Harris McDowell had a similar problem. I wonder if I have going to have problems voting tomorrow. I have my updated voting card, so the DOE knows I have moved. I guess the campaigns have old lists. Let us know what calls you are getting.
Monday Open Thread [9.10.12]

President Obama’s re-election campaign and supporting committees brought in more than $114 million last month – the first time the incumbent has outraised Mitt Romney since April. Mittens raised $111 million.
Josh Marshall has a simple axiom:
[T]he more Romney goes hard Culture War, the more his campaign chiefs are getting freaked by the polls.
Primary Preview
Here are my thoughts on tomorrow’s primary election. These are mine alone and not official endorsements of DL or that of my colleagues here. I suspect we might disagree on certain races. If you want to find out where you vote tomorrow and what districts you are in, check the Polling Place Locator. The most important primary election tomorrow is this one:
11th SENATE DISTRICT–DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Senate President Pro Tem Tony Deluca v. Bryan Townsend
Much like the Republican primary in the 6th, this race is for the soul of the State Democratic Party. There are some old rotten tree branches on the tree that is the State Democratic Party. And like McDowell and Marshall, Deluca’s branch needs to be cut off so a new one can grow. The further problem with Deluca’s branch is that it is diseased and corrupt, and the disease could spread to the whole tree. It is imperative that Deluca be defeated. Luckily, Bryan Townsend has ran a stellar campaign for a grassroots challenger. Should he win, he will become an instant star in the Democratic caucus, and a sign that the party has a bright future. Needless to say, if I could, I would vote for him. If you can, you must vote for him.
SEIU Block Party
On Thursday, September 13th at 2 pm, the SEIU will be holding a permitted block party in front of the Wilmington Trust … er ah.. M&T Bank Building at 11th & Market, or the side of Rodney Square between the Hotel DuPont and the BOA complex. I’m told there will be food, music and games. The block party is in support of Optima janitors who work in the M&T Building who are fighting to earn wages and working conditions that are equal with other Wilmington janitors. If you can attend, please do so.
