1. 37th RD Special Election Post-Mortem: First of all, the Delaware Department of Elections can kiss my ass. I’m writing this at 9:05 on election night. The issue isn’t that we have no results, although we don’t. But that there’s no place on the DOE site where you can even find the results. Is DOE […]
Tomorrow’s Special Election In RD 37: An Uninformed View From Upstate
My uninformed view. While R’s have traditionally done better in special elections than D’s, it’s pretty clear that the Democratic Party has the better ground game this time. Massive phone banks and grassroots activity. Special elections often are more about the parties than the candidates, and that could well be the case here. I honestly […]
Pistol-Packin’ Pete Picks His Pawn
John Atkins, Part Deux. Ex-Rethug just reborn as a D. Second Amendment absolutist, as in ‘law-abidin’ citizen’. But don’t take my word for it, take his: Realtor and Builder Rob Burton filed today as a Democrat for the 14th District. We won’t let you take our firearms We, the people of Delaware, have elected our […]

1. Velda Jones Potter Files For Wilmington Mayoral Race. She’s not just running for herself, she’s running for her family and their assorted hangers-on. With your vote, you can provide a whole bunch of needy grifters/deadbeats with jobs and access to big pots of money. Let’s see–she ran for Mayor in 2020, and got over […]
It’s Official: House Democratic Caucus A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Of BHL’s Campaign
Thanks to Our PAL Val, who has stated that she supports BHL because she can manipulate her. Which is why the current House Chief-Of-Staff is only there for the paycheck while still working as BHL’s operative. On the state’s dime. Kinda what you have to do if the campaign has no money and no volunteers. […]
Final Call: DL’s MVP’s Of the Year
We started off strong, but responses have dropped off. Deadline’s this Friday. Who belongs on our list, and why do they belong? C’mon, pipples, I can’t do it all by myself. At least, I don’t want to do it all by myself. Help me out!
You Can NOW Donate To Kamela Smith!
Finally, Act Blue has come through: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kamela-smith-donate You will note that there’s a $99 level for those who don’t want to risk retaliation from Val. Me? I’m going with $101, because (a) I want Val to know, and (b) I got my wife’s permission. Make it happen, pipples. Contribute and then come over here and […]

1. The Collin O’Mara Soon-To-Be Gubernatorial Candidacy. He’s running. I have no idea how he’ll do. Don’t know for sure, but I believe he’s running in the BHL lane that I think is soon to be available. You can’t run a campaign without money, without donors, without staff, and without volunteers. Which is why I […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023
Everyone knows that Donald Trump has never had an original thought and that most of his insults are simply projection. You’d think the mainstream media would have noticed this by now, and investigated him for any of the complaints he has about someone else. For example, his constant drumbeat of “Joe Biden is old and […]
Song of the Day 12/5: Nine Inch Nails, “The Beginning of the End”
Could this be a message for Valerie Longhurst? You decide. It comes from Trent Reznor’s 2007 LP “Year Zero,” a concept album about an American dystopia. Reznor set his tale of a United States beset by terrorists and ruled by a Christofascist regime in 2022, 15 years in the future, because that was the year […]
BREAKING!!! We Now Have THE MOST IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE RACE OF 2024!!!!
If anything, seven exclamation points aren’t enough. Far be it from me to engage in hyperbole (he lied), but this immediately jumps to the top of the list. The challenger? Her name is Kamela Smith. She’s incredible. More on her in just a moment. The incumbent? Our PAL Val Longhurst. Delaware’s most corrupt legislator who, […]
Collin O’Mara Announces Exploratory Committee For Governor Run
Make no mistake–he’s running. I’m pretty sure that BHL’s fall from grace precipitated this run as some key players are moving to Collin’s camp. Here is his announcement: “Delaware needs a new generation of leadership. The serious challenges we face — from not enough well-paying jobs and underperforming schools to the existential threat of climate […]
Delaware Political Weekly: November 24-30, 2023
1. Annnd, just like that, we have a Democratic primary for NCC Council President. Robert A. Williams, who previously served on Wilmington City Council, as filed. I spoke to him yesterday. He started as a policeman, then became an RN who, among other things, worked as a fraud investigator in the AG’s office. He said […]
