It’s Not a Flip-Flop If You Get It Right

An Equal Opportunity Push Poll in the NCCo Executive Race

Filed in Delaware by on May 8, 2012 18 Comments

The poll then asked if I was planning to vote for 1) Tom Gordon, 2) Paul Clark or 3) Undecided.

Question of the Day

Filed in Delaware by on May 8, 2012 5 Comments

Why is The News Journal lazy? Specifically, why when there is a state story that may be considered a scandal do they always turn to Greg Lavelle for a quote? Is Charlie Copeland that busy that they can’t alternate weeks?
