This week's roundup of local political news from around the Delaware blogosphere. We have two three new blogs this week. The last two weeks were all about Castle, Biden, and Zachary.

In the Delaware Senate race, it is good news/bad news for the GOP. The good news: newly minted Senate candidate Mike Castle is sitting on over three-quarters of a million cash-on-hand.

O’Donnell Gets Her Peak Wingnut On.
Let's be honest here. Republicans are in full freak mode today over the Nobel Peace Prize because they do not like the Nobel Peace Prize. They do not like diplomacy. They do not like international cooperation. They do not like the pursuit of a real peace. They will say they want peace, but the peace they seek is a Pax Americana, where America achieves peace through the forced subjugation of the entire planet. What they like is bombs, body counts and war. For that is what brings them their peace. Add to that the fact that Republicans really really really, and I mean really hate President Obama. He drives them bonkers, rabidly insane. So when you have President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, you have the recipe for Peak Wingnut. A perfect storm of conservative self immolation that would be hysterical if these same conservatives were not also in control of this nation's only viable minority party.
