DL is a site for fighting DEMOCRATS…

Filed in Delaware by on March 19, 2012 14 Comments

that’s why we should consider voting for this guy: Andrew Groff of the Green Party instead of the execrable Tom Carper. Oh I know…I can hear the whimpering already… “but, what if Carper’s feelings are hurt? What if it gives the race to Smooth-like-Suede, Kevin Wade?”

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Pete Schwartzkopf

Filed in Delaware by on March 19, 2012 2 Comments

Pete is well liked. As Majority Leader, he garners a 65% approval rating, 50% of which is strong approval. The one black mark on his record continues to be John Atkins. Pete is responsible for his presence within the Democratic Caucus, and I wonder if, today, he regrets at all that decision.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Senate Majority Leader Patti Blevins (D)

Filed in Delaware by on March 16, 2012 9 Comments

Senate Majority Leader Patti Blevins has her supporters and detractors, much like Senator Deluca. She has a 53% disapproval rating, and a 43% approval rating. 4% are undecided. I wonder how much of the disapproval is geniunely earned versus Blevins being tainted by her association with Deluca. I know El Som will say it is earned, and he is not a fan. I will open it up to our readers. Why did you disapprove of Senator Blevins?

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Gary Simpson (R)

Filed in Delaware by on March 15, 2012 3 Comments

Gary Simpson is so unknown that people didn’t bother to vote in the poll. Of the 36 people who did, 25% did so to say they don’t know or are unsure about Gary Simpson. Another 44% view him unfavorably, probably because he has an R after his name. 31% view him favorably. With only 7 members, it is hard for the Republican caucus in the Senate, or its leader, to get noticed.

The Delaware DREAM Act Introduced Today

This is very positive news — Senator Robert Marshall and Rep. Helene Keeley (or Rep Joe Miro according to the NJ) are the lead sponsors on a bill announced today at the LACC that would allow undocumented children to qualify for in-state college tuition rates and scholarships. If it gets passed, Delaware would be the 12th state that would level the playing field for these children.
