Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results: Congressman John Carney

Filed in Delaware by on February 17, 2012 11 Comments

I did not know what to expect with the results on John Carney’s job performance. Will he be seen as Carper Junior and suffer accordingly? On the other hand, while it is not his or his staff’s fault, you get the feeling that John Carney has been invisible because he, as a Democrat, is in the minority in the House. And thus he gets little opportunity to make news. To his and his staff’s credit, they make their news anyway, as I receive a press release from his congressional office at least three times a week.

Well, it looks like that work paid off.

Former Congressional Candidate Mike Miller to run in the new 6th

Filed in Delaware by on February 15, 2012 15 Comments

Mike Miller was one of the unknown candidates that ran against Mike Castle in 2000 and 2002. If memory vaguely serves, he has also tried to run for some other races in Kent County and statewide. In other words, he is a perennial losing candidate. And he is back. I bet he loses handily to Andy Staton. Staton has done the leg work for this race, preparing for years. Miller is just jumping in for vanity reasons.
