Thursday Open Thread [3.8.12]
On the Gingrich front, he is conceding Kansas to Santorum, and concentrating on Alabama and Mississippi. If Gingrich doesn’t win those states, he is out.
Andrew Brietbart was Killed for This?
The video inside shows Barack Obama in a 1990 video at Harvard protests in favor of the cause of Professor Derek Bell and the hiring of more minority faculty members. Isn’t it amazing that Obama sounds and looks exactly the same (sans afro today). Obviously Obama has a time machine.
Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Vincent White
Officially, the only two filed candidates in the Democratic Primary for the Insurance Commissioner’s Race are incumbent incompetent Karen Weldin Stewart, Mitch Crane, and in Kent County, this Gallagher fella. Where is Vince White? Who is Vince White? You can find out here. Whomever he is and wherever he is, he has a 44% disapproval rating, and another 33% who don’t know who is or don’t care. He has only a 24% approval rating.

So Mitt Romney won Ohio barely, and only at the last second. Not a compelling narrative for his candidacy. He also ended up winning Virginia (where only Ron Paul was his competition), Vermont (neighboring state to his home state), Massachusetts (where he was Governor), Idaho (where there are Mormons) and Alaska. Santorum won Oklahoma, North Dakota and Tennessee. Gingrich won Georgia.
So what’s next?
Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results: Mitch Crane
This is no surprise: Mitch Crane is overwhelmingly popular in a DL poll. He gets a 71% approval rating, with only 23% disapproving. His only obstacle to defeating Karen Weldin Stewart is too many other opponents. Because if the race was just Mitch v. Karen, Mitch would destroy her in a Markellian landslide. But if you divide the anti-Karen vote between Vincent White, some Gallagher candidate, Dennis Spivack (what?), and Mitch Crane, then Karen wins with her measly 30% of the vote. So the question must be posed to Mr. White, Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Spivack: When did McDowell pay you and how much was the check?

Tuesday Open Thread [3.6.12]
Does the Republican primary end today? If Romney wins Ohio and Tennessee, and Santorum only wins Oklahoma and Gingrich only wins Georgia, then I think yes, it is over. If Santorum wins Tennessee, the race will limp along with Romney again the frontrunner who has trouble down south. If Santorum wins Ohio and Tennessee, then Romney is back in trouble again.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Jim Van Houten (R)
While Ben Mobley was unknown to 42%, Jim Van Houten is known. And DL readers no likey, to the tune of a 53% disapproval rating, of which 48% is strongly disapprove.
So we have polled the Governor, Lt. Governor, Insurance Commissioner, both our Senators, our Congressman, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General, and all of their respective Republican opposition if they are running for reelection in 2012. What we have not done yet is poll Democratic opposition. And the only official running for reelection this year facing a primary is Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart. So let’s poll her primary opposition.

We got polls. Lots of them. And the general election polls in Ohio and Virginia may cause Republicans to contemplate suicide as they are so horrible. Also… we have a surprising piece of information on gun ownership in America.
