How Joe Biden spent his day yesterday
Every year, Vice President Joe Biden invites the press, and by that I would like the White House Press Corps, and their families for a “Beach Party” and barbecue.

“We’re still fighting our way back from the worst economic crisis since the great depression.”
That’s how Obama’s latest TV ad begins. It opens with a portion of a speech President Obama delivered on the economy last week, where he called on Congress to pass his jobs plan and reminded Americans that, despite weak recent jobs numbers, the economy has added nearly 4.3 million private sector jobs over the last 27 consecutive months of private sector job growth. It also knocks Mitt Romney’s comments on Friday that we need less firefighters, less policemen, less teachers and less construction workers in America.

Delaware Democratic Convention Open Thread
The convention is taking place right now in Dover. The convention has already brought us some the surprising news of Mitch Crane’s endorsement. The rest of the convention will be devoted to selecting delegates to the National Convention in Charlotte later this summer. Then tonight, the Jeffereson-Jackson Dinner will be held, with Newark Mayor Cory Booker giving the keynote speech.
Please use this thread for any more news, and as your open thread for the day.
The News Just Got Bigger: Mitch Crane Endorsed by the Del Dems.
The Delaware Democratic Party has endorsed former judge Mitch Crane in the Democratic Primary for Insurance Commissioner. This endorsement is as important for the Crane campaign as it is monumentally devastating to incumbent Karen Weldin Stewart. Indeed, has a Democratic incumbent not been endorsed for reelection by his or her own party? I can’t recall it happening in my politically aware lifetime.
PDD President Paul Baumbach files for the 23rd RD.
the race is definitely on to replace her on the Democratic side at least. Paul Baumbach, the President of the Progressive Democrats for Delaware, announced his candidacy here on Delaware Liberal, and officially filed. Jerry Grant has also filed, thus, progressives have a genuine win-win situation here, and a golden opportunity for the rare of rarities: a positive campaign about ideas.
