President Bush is back at the White House today for his official portrait unveiling. For anyone expecting fisticuffs or tension, don’t. This ceremony is now a Presidential tradition performed before between bitter political rivals.

Crane by a wide margin over KWS; Voters not fooled by McDowell machinations.

Filed in Delaware by on May 31, 2012 29 Comments

What, no spamming by KWS supporters and McDowell minions? In a non scientific non random poll of our readers, Mitch Crane is vanquishing the incumbent insurance commissioner 66% to 25%. And it would only a few people are being fooled by the candidacies of Dennis Spivack and Paul Gallagher, much to Harris McDowell’s chagrin, no doubt.

The Kill List Petition.

Filed in National by on May 31, 2012 10 Comments

I am passing this on from one of readers.

I don’t know what all your positions are on this matter. I have very strong opinions on this drone campaign and I was wondering if, in the liberal spirit of the great dissenters, you post a link to this petition on the White House web site. Would your editorial staff support this. Would you persuade your readers to sign?

Here is the link to the petition.

First, to say we have an editorial staff would imply that we pay people to edit DL. Jason still owes us all checks from 2006. I’d rather call the 9 or 10 of us freelance volunteers.

Second, I don’t know where all of my peers here at DL stand on this, but I for one do encourage everyone to sign it. And I say that not as a wide eyed purist who is criticizing the President because I didn’t get my single issue pony. The area where Obama has let us liberals down the most is in the area of civil liberties. While he ended outright torture by our own government, and while he has tried to shut down Guantanamo but was stopped by Congress, but this Kill List with no oversight or due process is a tad bit far for even my pragmatic and practical tastes.

Tom Gordon Steals Obama’s Logo

Really Tom? Really? Tom Gordon has appropriated the Obama/Biden campaign logo for his own in an obvious attempt to directly tie his campaign for County Executive to the President’s reelection effort.

Polling Report [5.30.12]

Contrary to our resident teabagger RustyDils, the President has a 19 point lead in California. No, Rusty, car elevators do not endear Romney to Californians. Meanwhile, Michigan becomes strong Obama territory, and Obama takes a slight lead in Colorado, although not a big enough lead for Colorado to lose its Toss up status.

Tuesday Polling Report [5.29.12]

There was not much by way of polls released over the holiday weekend, so we will have to make do today by looking at some internals of recent polls. Given that the economy is the most important issue of this election, and given the conventional wisdom that a bad economy dooms President Obama, how do we explain Nevada?
