The 62 Project: #’s 26 and 36
We have the Representatives Short up today. Bryon the the North. Daniel to the South. One is the House Minority Leader. And one is a Democrat in the Brandywine Hundred.
Bryon Short combines some of the best and some of the most disappointing elements that I look for in a D legislator in a safe district. He is not just good, but great, on social issues. Not just a reliable supporter of equal rights for all, but a prime House sponsor on legislation ensuring rights for the transgender community. He has successfully sponsored legislation extending health benefits to dependent children. He is also a strong supporter of gun control, is someone who pays attention to his district, basically someone who you’d like as your rep. He’s even successfully pushed legislation on behalf of animal rights. How can you not like someone who will protect your puppies?
The problem, and it’s a big one, is that he is in thrall to the Carper/Carney wing of the Party. And business interests uber alles.

This is an amazing photo by Chris Connelly on Flickr that captures a lot of Delaware in one shot. Click through to see the larger version on Flickr. You see a beautiful fall landscape, with some wetlands or creeks in the distance to the left, and then in the far distance to the right, refineries. […]
Yeah, He Lied
Any better conclusions than that? Seriously, after the huffing and puffing and bluster that the News Journal and his critics were trying to mislead people or trying to hurt him or trying to delegitimize his function in office — Treasurer Chip Flowers finally meets with the News Journal and what we find out is that he really is that incompetent. And we find out that records requested are conveniently missing. From this morning’s NJ, where Flowers admits that there are financial records missing from his office:
QOTD — When Was the Last Time One of Our Congressional Delegation Had a Town Hall Meeting?
I saw that our Congressional delegation is having another Job Fair — which is very cool and certainly people who need jobs could use every bit of help they can get. But when I saw this item in the NJ (an item I passed on to folks I know are looking), I couldn’t remember the last Town Hall from these guys. This is particularly odd since the August recess wasn’t too far back. I think that John Carney has had a forum on college costs, but that is all I can remember.
Toplines for Delaware Political Polling!
Following up on my post from Saturday, we now have (courtesy of Mr. Paul Brewer) the toplines of The University of Delaware’s Center for Political Communication National Agenda Poll from September 2013. (pdf) I’ve asked Mr. Brewer about their long term plans for this poll and it looks like this might be a once a year event — dependent upon available resources. But Fresh Delaware polling! Yay!
