I think Will McVay is behind this….
… even though he denies it in the News Journal story. What is the “this” that I am talking about? Go visit www.ellisparrott.com. Go now. I’ll wait.
Delaware Democratic Convention Open Thread
The convention is taking place right now in Dover. The convention has already brought us some the surprising news of Mitch Crane’s endorsement. The rest of the convention will be devoted to selecting delegates to the National Convention in Charlotte later this summer. Then tonight, the Jeffereson-Jackson Dinner will be held, with Newark Mayor Cory Booker giving the keynote speech.
Please use this thread for any more news, and as your open thread for the day.
PDD President Paul Baumbach files for the 23rd RD.
the race is definitely on to replace her on the Democratic side at least. Paul Baumbach, the President of the Progressive Democrats for Delaware, announced his candidacy here on Delaware Liberal, and officially filed. Jerry Grant has also filed, thus, progressives have a genuine win-win situation here, and a golden opportunity for the rare of rarities: a positive campaign about ideas.
Mitch Crane is Endorsed by NCCo. Democrats [That’s a Big Fracking Deal]
The New Castle County Democratic Party yesterday announced its endorsement of Mitch Crane in the Democratic Primary for Insurance Commissioner. This is a surprise to me, as I had heard that Karen might have had some support among their ranks. At best, I expected a non-endorsement.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 7, 2012
Campaign finance reform passed the Senate yesterday, and heads to the Governor. My sophisticated analysis can be summed up as follows: HB 300(Gilligan), good. HB 310(Longhurst), bad, but nowhere near as important as HB 300. It’s really kinda like a hitchhiker, with 300 driving the car. And so insubstantial that 300 probably wouldn’t ask for gas money.
Kids, if you’re as alarmed at that last paragraph as I am, you can do something about it. I fear that I am in the early stages of TAS (Tortured Analogy Syndrome)
DL Tracking Poll — Carper leads all, but will a Green-Libertarian alliance boost Groff?
So apparently, the Delaware Libertarian Party has endorsed Green Party candidate Andrew Groff for the U.S. Senate. Many people are looking for a third option to Tom Carper and the Republican Party, and Alex Pires seems too teabaggerish and anti-Democratic.
So is Andrew Groff the longed-for option?

Bennett to Retire
He is speaking on the House floor right now, announcing his decision not to run again.
This is not unexpected. The man has a drinking problem, evidenced by two DUI arrests over three years. Given his latest arrest, the one where he crashed into a police car, he just could not run again, and if he did, he would lose the seat.
