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

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.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results

Well, this week has gotten away from me. I had planned on start the Tracking Poll project on Monday. Here it is Wednesday. But real life work pays the bills and it selfishly demands my time. So, the poll on Governor Markell's approval has been open since last Thursday until last night at 10 pm. 152 people voted in it, so click through to see the results, and be sure to vote in our new poll on the middle column on the right on the job performance of Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart.

Newt Gingrich might have called out Mitt Romney on his "pious baloney," but poor Newt might now be classified as "desperate baloney" after being eclipsed this week by the frothy Rick Santorum in Colorado and Minnesota.

The Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll

2 Comments
You may have noticed in the center column of the site, we have a poll question regarding the job performance of Governor Markell. Currently, the Governor has a 69% approval rating (27% approve, 42% strongly approve), and a 22% disapproval rating (17% disapprove, 5% strongly). And 9% of you either don't care, don't know or are "meh" when it comes to the Governor. Now, an internet poll is in no way accurate (although, real polls of the Governor's job performance have similar findings, with approval in the 60's). We are not dealing with a random sample here. And the sample size is way too small (64 people at last count). Still, I thought it would be fun to have a new tracking poll feature each day that polls the politically motivated and passionate in Delaware. Each day of the week we will poll on a different office holder or candidate.

Yesterday we showed the new Delaware Democratic Party logo, but there was just a small problem with it. The vendor misspelled “Democratic” by adding a third “c.” And to be fair to the staff at the Del Dems, I missed it when I first looked at it, because my attention was drawn to the Hen. Click inside to see the revised new logo, and the secondary logo that we have not seen yet, that I love even better, and see how much better these logos are than the logos of the past.
