Delaware
Good Times… Good Times
I just went back to take a look at the old DL endorsement post from October 2008. I stated that DL did not endorse in the Insurance Commissioner race in one of the threads today. This is true. It is interesting looking at the comments that this non-endorsement generated.
Is Eric Bodenweiser Sussex County’s Joan of Arc or Another False Prophet?
Eric Bodenweiser, one of the founders of the now-defunct Sussex County Community Organized Regiment (SKKKOR) is on a mission to save the 14th RD, and by doing that, saving Sussex County. He has House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf (D-Rehoboth Beach) in his figurative gun sight (knowing how off-balanced Bodie is, it might be literally, too). […]
Ron Williams States His Problem With Bloggers And Then Proceeds To Use Their Work
On today’s opinion page of the News Journal Ron Williams makes several points. 1. He really doesn’t like bloggers, especially anonymous bloggers 2.

John Kerry Boosts Chris Coons
I think we’ve all been a little disappointed since Chris Coons announced his Senate run but hasn’t been very visible. There’s some increasing evidence that his campaign is starting the ramp up, and he just got a big boost from John Kerry. John Kerry’s PAC announced his “Final Four,” four Senate seats that he says […]

Radio Ad — Call Mike Castle Hands Off Our Healthcare!
I heard this ad during Al Mascitti’s show this AM — it is a good reminder that Mike Castle is spending his days in DC voting for the interests of his party and for those of various lobbyists. Click through for the ad.
Student Loan Reform
Somewhat overshadowed by all the attention on the health care reform bill was the student loan overhaul that was added into the reconciliation package: Ending one of the fiercest lobbying fights in Washington, Congress voted Thursday to force commercial banks out of the federal student loan market, cutting off billions of dollars in profits in […]
Mike Castle: Pro-Repeal?
Mike Castle held a fundraiser with pro-repeal Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. The Republican discipline on health care reform is starting to disappear though. Some Republicans like Mitt Romeny (who is having trouble explaining why the MA individual mandate is o.k. but the national mandate is not), Rep. Mike Pence and Sen. Jim DeMint want a […]

Where did I put my fainting couch? I can’t find any pearls to clutch! The News Journal weighs in on the Biden hot mic moment: When you call a press conference, watch what you say in front of the microphones. Thanks to modern technology, the globe can now hear your whisper. … All Mr. Biden […]
Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Wed., March 24, 2010
Looks like they must’ve installed some new, even more compelling, solitaire games on the Legislative Council computers. How else can you explain that yesterday’s session report cites activity going back to at least June of 2009 as new action effective yesterday? Perhaps the porn filter was on the fritz? With that caveat, here is yesterday’s […]
