Carney and Markell

Filed in National by on July 26, 2008 22 Comments

I have been, and continue to be, an undecided voter on the Markell/Carney decision. It may at times seem that I am an unabashed Carney supporter, but that is only due to the contrast with others in the blogosphere. I have a number of friends in both campaigns. I have been trying hard to give […]

Juxtaposition

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 23 Comments

Today, Obama was in Germany giving a speech in Berlin.  John McCain had a meeting in a German restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. This is where my expertise is going to pay off.  I have actually been to both of these places.  In fact, I suggested Schmidt’s Sausage Haus in January.  They have some pretty good […]

Obama Opens a Commanding Electoral Lead

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 6 Comments

Wow.  I don’t know if you have been keeping an eye on the widget to the left.  According to the newest polls, Obama has opened a commanding 100 electoral vote lead.  I know it is July, so it don’t mean much, but it cannot be a good sign for the McCain camp.  The pickups from […]

Lee: My Name is Toby

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 17 Comments

Do you remember the scene in Roots where the slave was being whipped incessantly for refusing his slave name, Toby?  For the past 48 hours, the batshit Republicans have been screaming their fool heads off and whipping Lee with his “Drivers Licenses for Illegals” comments that he made on WGMD. After 24 hours of whipping, […]

Lee Video

Filed in National by on July 23, 2008 5 Comments

Here is the footage that I shot at the Lee announcement today.  Let me know what you think of the lead in, trailer and effects.  I am toying with the idea of sprucing up my video works and this is the first attempt. Be sure to listen to the Castle story about Copeland and the […]

LiberalGeek in the Land of Ascots

Today, Republican Bill Lee kicked off his campaign for Governor. His afternoon stop was in New Castle just a few miles from work, so I stopped over to meet Maria Evans and see what’s happening with Judge Lee. The scene was the Old Courthouse in New Castle and the turnout was good. The place was […]

Another Senior Moment?

Another Senior Moment?

Today McCain announced at a Republican fundraiser that his opponent, Barack Obama was going to Iraq this weekend. Here’s the rub, this wasn’t public knowledge. The announcement could be considered a security breach. Don’t you think a guy that claims to be strong on national defense would know better than to leak that sort of […]

SEU RFP To Be Released Before New Oversight Board is Seated

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 13 Comments

I spoke to the Energy Office this morning. The word is that the new board will not be seated before the RFP goes out. This is sad. Apparently, Gov. Minner has signed the bill into law, but she has not yet appointed the new board. Whether or not the SEU Task Force is legal and […]

Book Club…

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 6 Comments

As much as I hate to do it, I’m going to but the book club on hold. I have gotten no firm commitments on attendees. Perhaps we can pick it up later, but it seems like we just can’t squeeze it into schedules this month.

Why LiberalGeek is Delaware’s Hottest Blogger

Let me first congratulate my opponents on a fine campaign run by both of them.  They truly have done well, considering what they have to work with. I don’t have the advantage of years of submarine service (you do know what they say about Navy men, don’t you?).  Nor do I have the ability to […]
