Delaware Dem's Latest Posts
Bill Maher and David Anderson have something in common
No, not that.
They have both expressed the ridiculous notion that Rush Limbaugh’s free speech rights are being violated by the stampede of (to date) 98 advertisers and sponsors dropping him like a diseased potato.
Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Speaker Gilligan
Delaware enjoys its Democratic House of Representatives, and its Speaker. Bob Gilligan garners a surprisingly high 79% approval rating, making him the most popular politician in the state. This is surprising only because you would think not many people would know who he is, but then again, I am polling the readership of Delaware Liberal, a politically aware subset of the population. I fully expect Speaker Gilligan to brag about these numbers during the upcoming budget negotiations with Governor Markell.

I sense a number of us will be watching tonight. So here is a thread to discuss it. John Cole over at Balloon Juice has some thoughts on watching tonight. He is not sure he is going to. I am going to watch, but I feel the same way he does about Sarah Palin.
Saturday Open Thread [3.10.12]
Remember, Daylight Saving Time begins tonight. So we “spring” forward, and lose an hour of sleep. Bastards. You know who else are bastards, Republicans. Why? Let Andrew Samwick explain the Republican spin on yesterday’s good economic news:
[President Obama] is making inadequate progress getting us out of the hole we dug for you despite our opposition to every program you propose.

Is that a threat?
ABC News reports that Donald Trump will be recording robo-calls on behalf of Mitt Romney for every state. Said Trump spokesman Michael Cohen: “Citizens of all states should expect a phone call from Mr. Trump endorsing Mitt Romney.”
An Open Thread Without Polling Data?!?
I know, I know, most of you are right now writhing on the floor going through withdrawal without the daily dose of polling goodness that usually accompanies our Open Thread. Let me explain what happened. As I was uploading some thumbnail pictures and editing some posts this morning, our server hosting company for some reason thought I was a hacker, and they blocked my IP address. Yes, I was banned from my own blog. The irony. At the time, I thought the whole site went down and we were suffering a server outage. It took most of the morning to track down what happened, and as a result I was not able to post the open thread. But I thank MJ for stepping up, and I thank our IT geek, LiberalGeek, for dealing with my hysterical demands.
But now lets feed our addiction.
Go Economy!!
The new job numbers exceeded expectations yet again, with the economy adding 233,000 private sector jobs in February. The numbers for January were also revised up to 284,000 jobs.
Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Paul Gallagher (D). Next Up: The General Assembly Leadership
As expected, industry advocate Paul Gallagher did not fare all too well around these parts. 66% view him unfavorably, and I think that might rival Karen Weldin Stewart’s numbers. Another 18% are undecided or unsure, and 16% view him favorably.
Now onto polling the party leadership in the General Assembly. House Speaker Bob Gilligan is up today, and next week, Senate President Pro Tem Tony Deluca, Senate Majority Leader Patti Blevins, Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson, House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf and House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle.
