Delaware Political Weekly: April 14-20, 2012
1. Brad Bennett Is So-o-o-o Toast. Bear in mind that I predicted he’d lose his reelection bid handily in 2010 after his first drunk driving arrest, in October of 2010, and I was wrong. He got just over 50% of the vote, though, and there was a strong element of ‘we’ll give him one more […]
