Tone Deaf or Payoff?
There are rumors swirling around the Delaware Republican Party that they have a new communication team. This is the team that will be tasked with redefining the tarnished brand that is “Republican” and to reframe the debate into something that will resonate with Delaware voters. Quite a task. Who is up for a job like […]
Research Trip to Kauai
I just got an incredible deal on tickets to Kauai for the summer, so I plan to do some research on Dave Burris’ assertion that we should all take up shovels against paying for roadwork. The story goes like this: There was a flood that washed out a bridge to the Polihale State park in […]

Disillusioned
I recently saw a huge Markell supporter who is also a State employee. I asked him how he was feeling these days. “Disillusioned” was his response.
