DL’s Endorsement for Insurance Commissioner
I was just going to say that we endorsed Trinidad Navarro for Insurance Commissioner because he is not Karen Weldin Stewart, but fuck that. It is an election year, and the Insurance Commissioner isn’t some bullshit job like Lt. Governor. When Matt Denn was in the office between 2004 and 2008, he was squarely on the side of the insurance consumer, and he had a huge positive impact on Delaware’s small business by fixing how worker’s comp was calculated for companies that have great safety records. Conversely, Karen Weldin Stewart has been a shit show. Anyway, I knew that my usual lazy half-assery wasn’t going to cut it, so I took a hard look at Navarro and this is what I found out.
Trinidad Navarro is exactly the kind of Democrat that this backward piss-poor excuse for a Democratic establishment needs. He annoyed the fuck out of John Daniello when he ran against a sheriff that had been in office since before Delaware’s motto was changed by then Governor Tom Carper to “The Usury State.” And here he is again, taking up a campaign against one of the so-called democrats that thinks that large multinational corporations are in need of a champion.

The Dr. Nick Interview with Matt Denn
Editors Note: I view Matt Denn’s tenure as Delaware’s Insurance Commissioner as a refreshing return to the kind of old school Democratic values that seem to have been lost by a generation of Democratic politicians. He has long been a favorite of Delaware liberal and has recently cemented his reputation around here by consenting to […]
Courage
Since I started keeping closer track of politics in 2004, I’ve heard people talk about courage but I’ve never really seen any. Until now. On the national front we have lived through a period so devoid of political courage that we have to face the fact that America is not the country we grew up […]
Okay. See you next year.
Who am I trying to kid, this is in my blood now. I’m taking 2007 off. I was not fishing for kind words, but thanks for the kind words anyway. Stay safe in 2007 and I’ll be back when the Eagles win the superbowl or Feb. 14 of 2008, which ever comes first.
I’m done here
I’ve made a few half hearted stabs at getting someone to take up Delawareliberal but nothing has panned out. So, I’m signing off. Peace out. Happy Valentines day to my great and lovely wife & adios. Jason Scott has left the building.
Castle backs anti-surge resolution
Mike Castle breaks his silence, breaks ranks with Republicans, and breaks his long string of using the word “HOWEVER” in every press release. Here is the NJ’s blurb: Link WASHINGTON – Rep. Mike Castle broke ranks with fellow Republicans today, supporting the Democrats’ resolution against President Bush’s decision to send more than 20,000 additional troops […]

Michael Castle on Iraq…the anticipation builds
Watching CSPAN last night I was eager to hear how our lone representative in the US House was going to finesse his non-position on Iraq. I’ll have to wait a bit longer, but as soon as he attempts to slide his statement quietly past the media – I promise to post the big “HOWEVER” here […]

Toward greater Democratic “brand” identity in Delaware
While Howard Dean has worked wonders rehabilitating our national brand, Delaware Democrats are going to have to get rid of “Democrats” like this in order to get back on track.
Your feedback is requested
When I do the “Around the Horn” I’m always struck by how many good blogs there are. I’m also struck by how the good writing comes (for the most part) in waves. This is just an outworking of the fact that we are not paid writers and journalists, but lawyers, taxi drivers, teachers, mothers, and […]
