Daily Kos Gives Delaware Progressives The Election Day Love
With a link to my Dave McBride whipping post story. Who knows, maybe that story made a difference in the outcome. Time to revel, kids, we went national!: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/9/17/1977969/-Morning-Digest-Progressives-once-again-oust-a-bunch-of-incumbent-lawmakers-this-time-in-Delaware
Cathy Cloutier’s First Lit Piece Is…Strange
Got her first mailer today. Oversized postcard. She’s taken some new pictures. The front of the mailer has this picture and a similar color combination as you see here: https://www.cathycloutier.com/ There’s a banner that says: Connect With Me Today/Vote November 3. At the bottom, it reads: Effective. Resilient. Balanced. Balanced? What does that mean? Nobody […]

Barr Remains Utterly Lawless. Pushes For Sedition Charges Against Protestors. Says He Can Be As Political As He Wants. Feds Stockpiled Munitions To Attack Peaceful DC Protestors. The Trump Administration is a full-blown criminal enterprise. If Biden wins, they should all be RICO’d. Even By ‘Christian’ Conservative Standards, What This Minister Wrote Is Sickening. Genetic […]

Rethugs Recruit Youth For ‘Troll Farm’ Operation. This Charlie Kirk is a threat to democracy. As is Facebook. Alaska Rethugs Pull Last-Minute Dirty Trick As Ballots Go Out. They’re feeling the heat, even in Alaska. Well. That Trump ABC Town Hall Went Well. Allegedly before a crowd of ‘undecided’ voters. Wonder if herd mentality took […]
Now THAT Was A Primary Night!
I’m writing this on very little sleep. My mind churning all night. Here are the results of those mind-churns: Jess Scarane deserves a lot of credit, not just for her run, but for using her campaign as a platform to feature many of the candidates who won last night as she had them join her […]
DL Primary Night Open Thread
If past is prologue, we can look for the first results around 8:30. Of course, with the new voting machines, that may not be the case. We’ll post results here as they come in, and we encourage your feedback. Of all of my dubious predictions, I’m becoming more convinced that Scott Walker will win that […]

Yo, Biden And Harris: Get Your Asses Out To the Pacific Northwest. Have the governors of Cali, Oregon and Washington there. Draw a line in the sand and say that these fires demonstrate that global warming is real, that this is the most urgent problem facing us, that you will reverse every one of Trump’s […]

Sanders Raises Concerns About Biden Campaign. He’s right, of course. Could the Biden campaign at least demonstrate that they’re not taking progressive voters for granted? I have visions of Goldman Sachs execs polishing up their resumes. Bloomberg To Dump $100 Mill In Florida For Biden. Mostly in digital ads in Spanish and English. Wouldn’t hurt […]

Trump Silent On Wildfire Disasters. Hey, Cali, Oregon and Washington don’t matter to Trump. Some good news: there’s been a wind shift in Oregon as the rainy season approaches. BTW, the Dems are no better. Can’t someone, you know, fly out there? US Court Of Appeals Rules Felons Must Pay Fines Before They Can Vote. […]

Trump Cuts Back On TV Ads–Rethugs Worry. Y’know, if Trump were to throw in some of his fictitious billions, they’d have no problem. California Fires Reflect Immediate Need To Address Climate Change. BTW, has anybody seen any sign of the Federal government helping out? I haven’t. 10% of Oregon residents must evacuate. Court Blocks Trump […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: ‘The Toughies’
OK, first some ‘truth in advertising’. Not gonna predict ’em all for you. Not gonna pick all those Wilmington council races, not gonna pick any Kent County Levy Court or Sussex County Council races. There are already enough races where I’m pretty much throwing darts. In fact, my only guarantee this year is that I’ll […]
Realtors’ Dark Money PAC Dumps Last-Minute Shit-Tons Of $$’s Into Local Races
Beau Zebley no longer has any plausible deniability when it comes to claiming that his organization is simon-pure when it comes to tilting races at the last minute. According to the 8-day report of the ‘Strengthening Our Community Third Party Advertising Committee’, which is a realtors’ organization specifically created to circumvent the $600 maximum contribution […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: The ‘Sorta Competitives’
There’s at least a veneer of competitiveness to these races, but I think the outcomes are relatively clear. In other words, although unlikely in my mind, I could be wrong, but I don’t think so: US Representative (R): Lee Murphy over Matthew Morris. We know from experience that ‘Go, Murph, Go!’ is hardly a juggernaut. […]
