Nicole and Tony Sittin’ In a Tree, P-I-S-S-I-N-G…

…on the current and should-be future Labor Secretary, Patrice Gilliam-Johnson. Who are Nicole and Tony?  That would be Senator Nicole Poore and disgraced ex-Senator Tony DeLuca.  Poore has a six-figure sinecure from Jobs For Delaware Graduates.   And DeLuca has a sinecure from the Department of Labor as Director of Labor Law Enforcement.  Neither are at […]

Waiting for FDR

So while Delaware waits for Governor Carney to act like a Democrat (hint, it’s not going to happen), Chief Justice Leo Strine testified yesterday asking the Bond Committee to raise the gasoline tax.

El Somnambulo Overthinks It All For You: Special Election Edition

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on February 27, 2017 22 Comments

1. Biggest Surprise: The turnout.  While I haven’t gone back to check, there is no way that any previous Special Election turnout rivaled this one. There are 35,673 registered voters in SD 10.  12,580 cast ballots. That’s over 35% of eligible voters.  This should cause real concern for R’s going forward.  When mobilized, there are […]
