Delaware

Politico must have had nothing to write about today, so it chose to speculate on how the second term cabinet will look like. The article opines that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, fresh off his excellent speech at the DNC, could be the next Attorney General. Either UN Ambassador Susan Rice or Sen. John Kerry will be the next Secretary of State. For Secretary of Education, Politico thinks it could Governor Markell.

So some fan of Don Ayotte, or the teabagger king himself, is going around Sussex County vandalizing the signs of Marie Mayor, the Democratic nominee for the new 20th RD and County Councilwoman Joan Deaver. Check out the thuggery inside....

If I learned anything over this primary election, when it comes to politics, know one knows nothing. The more one pretends to know, it becomes apparent that they know very little. When politicians, political Insiders or bloggers start thinking their shit don't smell, it's best they remember the line from Shakespeare's As You Like It:

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

His piece on the future of New Castle County, with a little recent political history thrown in, is a tour de force and it has performed a miracle: it actually made me feel a little bit better about Tom Gordon. Not enough to vote for him, mind you, but enough to be not apocalytic about what is coming...

All primary results, all the time, with trenchant and perhaps morbid analysis. Including a post-mortem into why I think Mitch Crane lost (it's probably not what you think), dissection of all the key races, including the ouster of two incumbent state senators, and some rasslin' talk, featuring an update on Jerry 'The King' Lawler. 10 am to 12 noon, WDEL-1150 on your am dial.
