Delaware

Governor Markell's weekly address on STEM.

A look into the future as Alan Levin makes another discovery.

According to Kevin Wade and Kevin Wade supporting PACs, Delaware needs Kevin Wade. According to Delawareans, Delaware does not want Kevin Wade. Wade has a 60% unfavorable rating, which dwarfs his 18% favorable rating. Meanwhile, 22% are saying Kevin Who? While the readers of Delaware Liberal may not like Tom Carper all that much, Kevin Wade is no alternative.

As you know, the retirement of Sen. George Bunting as set up a game of musical chairs downstate, which already had two games going on with the new 6th District Senate seat and the new 20th District House seat added to the area. Last night, former Rep. Shirley Price spoke to the 38th RD Democratic Committee and announced that she will be running for her old seat.

You know, none of these polls have varied wildly as you would expect internet polls. Last month, Chris Coons had a 70% approval rating. This month he has a 73% approval rating. Last month, he had a 16% disapproval rating. Now it is 22%.

Former Senator Ted Kaufman, who replaced Vice President Biden in the Senate in early 2009, and who became a key figure in the push to reform Wall Street and the financial services system in 2009 and 2010, will be a special guest tomorrow at the monthly meeting of the Progressive Democrats for Delaware. Also speaking at tomorrow's meeting will be Bryan Townsend, who is challenging Senator Tony DeLuca in the Democratic primary in the 11th SD.

In February, New Castle County Executive Paul Clark had a 30% approval rating and a 51% disapproval rating, rivaling Karen Weldin Stewart and everyone in the Republican party as the most disliked politicians in Delaware. Things did not get better as the weather warmed. Now he has a 76% disapproval rating and a 15% approval rating. This tells us two things: 1) the first poll was freeped by whatever minimal support Clark has in the party, and 2) our internet poll is obviously inaccurrate where Clark is concerned. Yeah, Clark is not liked and is disapproved of, but it does not rise to the level of 76%.
