Will Biden Be Unopposed?

By Delaware Dem May 19, 201010 Comments

Beau Biden left the hospital today, and I am starting to wonder if the scare to his health last week will be the only scare he will face this election year. The Republicans held their convention last Saturday, and failed to nominate a candidate to challenge the first term Democratic Attorney General.

2010 Will Break Their Hearts and Spirit

By Delaware Dem May 19, 201013 Comments

It is already happening. Last night we saw the Democrats taking out their own trash to better their prospects in November. Indeed, the Senate race in Pennsylvania goes from a toss up between Specter and Toomey, and now it will be a Democratic hold in November. In Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln, if renominated, would be a lock for defeat in November. But last night, she was held to 43%, barely finishing ahead of progressive Lt. Governor Bill Halter, and will be forced into a runoff three weeks from now against him. And you have to figure, given her showing last night,and Halter's performance last night, she is in trouble of losing. If Halter wins, while Arkansas does not become a Democratic lock, it does become competitive again, maybe even a tossup.

Signs of a Stroke

By Delaware Dem May 11, 2010

Susan Regis Collins passes this along in light of today's events. Given Beau's youth and relative good health until today, any of us are susceptible to a stroke, and it better to have the below knowledge than not:

God Wants Glenn Urquhart to Win

By Delaware Dem May 11, 201018 Comments

I guess because his first name starts with the letter "G" too, or something. But Bill Colley speaking for God is not the story. The story is that WGMD talkshow host and blogger Bill Colley apparently is now a bought and paid for shill for the Glenn Urquhart campaign.

CRI Needs Crash Course in Math

By Delaware Dem May 11, 20107 Comments

Today, when CRI and its Republican friends in the General Assembly cite a new study that shows that SB 234 would cost too much and do too little to increase recycling, remember that the figures in the study are pure bullshit, and that the study itself was prepared only for the partisan purpose of killing the bill.
