A new Nixon biography is coming: “Yet the most extraordinary claim is that the homophobic Nixon may have been gay himself. If true, it would provide a fascinating insight into the motivation and behavior of a notoriously secretive politician.”
The Top Eleven Delaware Liberal Posts of 2011 [Delaware Stories]
This was an active year politically for an off year. From more embarrassment, incompetence, and betryal from Karen Weldin Stewart, resulting in a legitimate primary challenge, to a showdown over a basketball hoop in Claymont, to the demise of Tom Capano (for which we are all grateful), to the Tigani scandal, to the constant entertainment that the teabagging whackjobs down in Sussex provide, it was a fun year, if you enjoy insanity.
The Top Eleven Delaware Liberal Posts of 2011 [National Stories]
The year is drawing to a close, and what a horrible year it was. We had to endure the new Republican majority in the House and their childish temper tantrums at anything and everything, resulting in numerous examples of hostage taking, creating crises and panics and treasonously attempting to sabotage the national economy. If that wasn’t enough, we had a horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the subsequent nuclear meltdown in Fukushima. We had the attempted assassination of a Congresswoman in Arizona, and a murder of brave county cops here at home. We also had to endure the ramp up of the Republican presidential primary, what with all the lies and the downright bigotry espoused to capture the support of equally ignorant and bigoted and yet fickle Republican voters.
So I thought it would be fun, and painful, to relive it all if the form of revisiting of checking out what where the top eleven posts on Delaware Liberal in 2011. In this installment, we will concentrate only on national stories and politics. Later this morning, I will post the top ten Delaware posts of 2011. The only criteria determining what is and is not the top ten in both cases is page views. There is no substantive or editorial comment at work here, but usually, only good posts get the page views in the first place.

Frothmentum.
The Santorum Surge has begun, at long-frothy-last.
In Iowa, CNN has Romney leading the Republican presidential field with 25%, followed by Ron Paul at 22%, Rick Santorum at 16%, Newt Gingrich at 14%, Rick Perry at 11%, Michele Bachmann at 9%, and Jon Huntsman at 1%.
Wednesday Open Thread [12.28.11]
The Blue Water Wind deal is dead for now. How nice. And how anti-climatic after all the hard work and effort to get that deal agreed to in the first place. Hopefully new financing and investors can be found in the coming year or two so that the deal can be revived.
In the fight for the Republican nomination, if only scientists can somehow combine Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann and Santorum into one ultra conservative super hero, that candidate would sweep every primary and caucas en route to the nominate.

Tuesday Open Thread [12.27.11]
Mainstream journalists are starting to pay attention to Ron Paul and his platform. Which is good, because why it is nice to investigate stupid racist newsletters from 20 years ago, the more important thing is to expose his actual radical ideas to scruntiny. Since he is a plausible Iowa caucus win away from being the frontrunner for the GOP nomination.
