Tom Carper (D-Delaware of the 1980’s)

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on March 12, 2012 • 30 Comments

One frequently heard refrain around the liberal blogosphere is “[fill in the blank with name of Democratic congressperson who voted the wrong way on the important legislation of the day] is a bad Democrat; let’s primary him!”

Well, how do you know who really is a good or bad Democrat? David Jarman at Daily Kos took the time to quantify who is a good or bad based upon a combination of the Partisan Voting Index and some congressional ranking services (in this case, Progressive Punch, the National Journal, and DW/Nominate, that determine who is the most liberal or conservative members of Congress based on their votes.

Guess where Senator Tom Carper ranked?

Bill Maher and David Anderson have something in common

No, not that.

They have both expressed the ridiculous notion that Rush Limbaugh’s free speech rights are being violated by the stampede of (to date) 98 advertisers and sponsors dropping him like a diseased potato.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Speaker Gilligan

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on March 12, 2012 • 3 Comments

Delaware enjoys its Democratic House of Representatives, and its Speaker. Bob Gilligan garners a surprisingly high 79% approval rating, making him the most popular politician in the state. This is surprising only because you would think not many people would know who he is, but then again, I am polling the readership of Delaware Liberal, a politically aware subset of the population. I fully expect Speaker Gilligan to brag about these numbers during the upcoming budget negotiations with Governor Markell.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Paul Gallagher (D). Next Up: The General Assembly Leadership

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on March 9, 2012 • 5 Comments

As expected, industry advocate Paul Gallagher did not fare all too well around these parts. 66% view him unfavorably, and I think that might rival Karen Weldin Stewart’s numbers. Another 18% are undecided or unsure, and 16% view him favorably.

Now onto polling the party leadership in the General Assembly. House Speaker Bob Gilligan is up today, and next week, Senate President Pro Tem Tony Deluca, Senate Majority Leader Patti Blevins, Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson, House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf and House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle.

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on March 8, 2012 • 9 Comments

Officially, the only two filed candidates in the Democratic Primary for the Insurance Commissioner’s Race are incumbent incompetent Karen Weldin Stewart, Mitch Crane, and in Kent County, this Gallagher fella. Where is Vince White? Who is Vince White? You can find out here. Whomever he is and wherever he is, he has a 44% disapproval rating, and another 33% who don’t know who is or don’t care. He has only a 24% approval rating.
