1. Karen Weldin Stewart Campaign a Reflection of Karen Weldin Stewart, the Insurance Commissioner. There are many things a campaign cannot control: unexpected events, unexpected revelations, bad luck, the quality of its opponents, among them. However, every campaign has complete and total control over every word of communication that goes out under its name. Whether […]

New Weekly Feature – Local Music Scene Report

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Delaware by rachel_schain on July 18, 2012 • 19 Comments

Hello Delaware Liberal (and the Conservative readership too, I can be bipartisan)!

I’m Rachel Schain. You’ve been seeing the ad for my first CD, Happy Happy, in the upper right corner of this blog for, oh, about two years now. That very brightly colored one. You’ll have a new one as soon as my next CD, LilacFace, is released (the band and I were in the studio this weekend, and I cannot wait to put this out). I happen to be Upstate Delaware’s Favorite Musician, according to the 2011 Best of Delaware poll. My reign continues this year thanks to the fact that they didn’t include the category in the 2012 survey.

You might be wondering why I’m blogging here. Well, the good folks at DL came to me, knowing that I’m fairly plugged into the local music scene. I’ll be giving you weekly recommendations for your weekend rocking pleasure. In the comments, let me know if you want me to include Philly and NJ shows or just Wilmington/Newark area shows.

Bullock is getting the Endorsements

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on July 17, 2012 • 14 Comments

Rev. Chris Bullock was unanimously endorsed recently by the Wilmington Democratic City Committee. And yesterday, he got the endorsement of one of his former rivals for the office of New Castle County Council President, that of Bill Dunn. Bill Dunn left the race for County Council President once Speaker Gilligan announced his retirement from representing the 19th Representative District.

I am curious on our readers’ take on the County Council race, especially as it plays into the County Executive race? Personally, I am undecided between Taschner and Bullock. Bill Dunn was going to get my vote. Of Renee and Chris, I have met with both of them over the years and I like both of them. What are your thoughts?

Crane on DART.

I wonder if I am just noticing them or if these ads on DART buses are a new phenomena for Mitch Crane’s campaign. Bravo!

First, read this article by DailyKos’ Stephen Laser Haas. In it, he lays out the massive fraud that Bain got entangled in during 2001. Massive fraud that Romney’s law firm at the time, the New York-based law firm, Traub, Bonacquist & Fox, has now admitted guilt for. As most of you know, there is always a Delaware-based law firm engaged in any Delaware litigation. That law firm in the Bain/e-toys matter was Morris, Nichols, Arsht and Tunnell.
