General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 9, 2022
FEATURING: NICOLE & VAL TRY TO PULL ANOTHER FAST ONE! But first, some real good news. The Paid Family & Medical Leave Act passed the Senate yesterday. All D’s voted for it. All R’s voted against it. I confess that I don’t understand some of the dismissiveness I’ve seen here on the blog. Some people […]
BREAKING: DeShanna Neal Announces Run Against Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell!!
No way this was gonna keep until Friday. Mitchell has known for awhile, hence my ‘sweating bullets’ reference on Friday. Make no mistake, this is big.

1. Collin O’Mara Pondering Run For Governor. He would be the second member of his immediate family to have run for Governor. His wife ran for Governor–of Maryland–in 2018, and came in 4th in the Democratic primary. O’Mara ‘maintains a residence in Wilmington’ so, like Dave McBride, he could presumably legally run for the position. […]

Hoo-boy, now we’re talkin’! A hot-stove political junkie’s dream of a week. 1. More RD 4 Nomination Post-Mortems. The alleged rationales for choosing Bud Freel (other than ‘he’s one of us’ in the most clannish sense) were mere fig leafs. Whatever name recognition advantage that Bud Freel might have over Dr. Bohm would not have […]
