New Trailer for Game Change is out….
I both can’t wait to see this, and am shaking in horror at the prospect of seeing this.
Delaware Tidbits
Downstate, in the race to replace Sussex County GOP Chairman Glen Urquhart, whose resignation becomes official on February 13, Executive Committee Members Jerry Wood and Michael Triglia have sent letters of their intent to run for the chairmanship. Thoughts, downstaters? Which one is more insane?
Polling Goodness
Obama leads Romney by a pretty substantial margin in Ohio, 49% to 42%, according to a new Public Policy Poll out today. What is most impressive about this poll is not Obama’s lead, but it is the fact that only 28% of Ohioans have a favorable opinion of Mitt Romney, and 56% have a negative, unfavorable opinion of him. That is unelectable. Those are toxic numbers. Or at least, when Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich had those numbers, we called them toxic.
Wednesday Open Thread [2.1.12]
With 94% of the vote counted in Florida, there have been roughly 1,583,000 votes cast. In the 2008 Republican primary in Florida, roughly 1,950,000 votes were cast. There’s probably about 100,000 votes left to count tonight, but we can already see that despite a growing population, approximately 300,000 fewer Republicans voted tonight than four years ago.
Progressive Democrats Annual Meeting tonight.
Just a quick reminder about the Annual Meeting coming up tonight at 7 pm at the Delaware Democratic Party Headquarters, 19 E. Commons Blvd in New Castle County. The Annual Meeting is an opportunity for you, as a progressive, to get involved or get reinvolved in Delaware politics. Today’s meeting’s purpose is to shape the PDD organization as it prepares for the election year ahead. You can get involved in interviewing and endorsing candidates for office.

Tuesday Open Thread [1.31.12]
It is a slow news day and I am again slammed at work. Tonight, Mitt Romney will win the Florida primary and be the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. Newt Gingrich takes issue with those, including myself, that say that. “You mean those who said I was dead in June? Those who said I was dead in December? They are about as accurate as they were the last two times they were wrong.” – Newt Gingrich, quoted by ABC News. He said the race would go on for “six or eight months” and then added: “unless Romney drops out earlier.”

Monday Open Thread [1.30.12]
So Mitt Romney is pulling away in Florida. It looks like he will win the state by double digits, if not by 20 points. What does this mean for the Republican Primary race going forward? I suspect the race will continue for some time, and continue to be acrimonious, but the outcome is no longer in doubt: Mitt Romney will be the nominee. There are two question remaining: 1) Will Donald Trump jump in the race as an Independent if it appears Mitt Romney can’t beat Obama? and 2) What will Palin and Gingrich do? Given her comments over the weekend on her Facebook page, it appears she hates Romney with a passion, as does Gingrich. Do they cause trouble at the convention? Do they team up with Trump? Do they go third party themselves?
Well, here are some polls to occupy us for the time being. They are all pretty boring now.
