Night of the Long Knives and Pitchforks

Filed in Delaware by on November 9, 2010 33 Comments

Well, it didn’t take long for the O’Donnell faction of the GOP to begin the civil war. At last night’s meeting of the Sussex County GOP Committee, Don Ayotte, who is a contributor over at that other political blog (you know the one, the one run by Delusional David) demanded Tom Ross’ head. According to […]

The International House Of Dating

Filed in Delaware by on November 6, 2010 24 Comments

The Pandora household has hit a milestone.  Both of my teenagers are dating.  My 16 year old son has been dating his girlfriend since last March, and my 13 year old daughter got a “boyfriend” last month.  In both cases, dating seems to mean a lot of texting and teen skate on Friday nights – […]

A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words

Too, too funny!   Thanks, Mr. Knuckles, for the picture and the text!  I find that this picture from Return Day sums up the whole Senate campaign in DE.

So much for personal responsibility.  Honestly, is anything ever her fault – even partly her part?  The video below is an embarrassment. Here’s the truth:  The Tea Party gave the senate to the Dems.  Not that they’d ever admit it.  In fact, after blaming everyone else they’ll start crying that they need to be more […]

Filed in Delaware by on November 3, 2010 10 Comments

When you look at total vote totals, Christine O’Donnell actually got more votes in 2008. Urquhart’s claim to have done the best of Republicans “in a while” doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Another Republican Getting Desperate

Filed in Delaware by on November 1, 2010 3 Comments

Seems that desperation and worry are besieging the GOP. We reported earlier today on No-Show Bonini’s letter to state employees, which totally misrepresented Chip Flowers’ position on issues. And Bonini lived up to his name by bailing out on another debate this afternoon at UD. Now, Rep. Dave Wilson must really be worried about Jim […]
