Rep. Allen West (R-FL) told a crowd of Florida voters "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, "but wouldn't name names," the Palm Beach Post reports. I've heard that half of all Republicans in the House are Nazis. Or at the very least fascist. And you know what, I bet you there is more evidence to support the latter allegation than the former.

DL Tracking Poll Results — Tom Kovach (R) (Round 2)

Sorry, I was so busy yesterday and tired from the Easter weekend that I stood up my colleague Nemski for dinner. I completely forgot. So it makes sense that I forgot to post the latest round of tracking poll results from the weekend. Last month, Mr. Kovach, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, enjoyed a 49% favorable rating and a 37% unfavorability rating. This month, both of his ratings have increased. His favorability rating has increased to 50%, and his unfavorability rating is 40%.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Obama has double-digit leads over Mitt Romney on who would do a better job of protecting the middle class, handling international affairs and dealing with health care. On personal traits, the president's edge is even bigger: He has a better than 2-to-1 advantage as the more friendly and likable of the two, and nearly that margin as "more inspiring."

In the national GOP's eyes, Delaware is most definitely an ophan state, as the state GOP here is in disarray, if not in outright war with itself. But then again, save Tom Kovach and the U.S. House race, since the state GOP has utterly failed at recruiting any credible candidates to challenge Sen. Carper, Gov. Markell and Lt. Gov. Denn, I wonder if the RNC will even bother with Delaware. Since the GOP has the House majority without Carney's seat, they are unlikely to spend money in a state that will guaranteed to go Democratic in the fall, and which has a favorite son on the Presidential ticket.
