Senator Adams’ Last Punch in the Gut

19 Comments
I have been talking to a few people downstate recently and have been getting a feel for the race for Adams seat. Honestly, I don't know a damned thing about Polly, so I cannot tell you whether or not she would make a good Senator or not... But this post isn't about Polly. It is about what her Father pulled in his 2nd to the last day in the Senate. It is about the Violent Crimes Compensation Board (now re-formed as the Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program) and what the restructuring meant to one of Thurman Adams' friends, Leah Betts.

Okay. Mike Castle is our Next Senator. It has been decided on high.

All the signs are pointing to a Castle Senate run and I appears that the fix is in. Just check out the Newark Post coverage of the AMTRACK stimulus event:
The Amtrak Bear Car Shops took time out to celebrate the completion of the first passenger car to be rebuilt with stimulus funds. Sen. Thomas Carper, Gov. Jack Markell and U.S. Rep. Mike Castle joined Amtrak CEO Joseph Boardman and employees at the sprawling complex off Route 40 to tour the rebuilt car that was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

UPDATE: I have to urge everyone to tune in and listen to Matt Denn this afternoon. The guy is funny as hell and very unguarded for a politician. He is also a sports nut (but hates hockey with a white hot passion) so he might be able to answer any Philly sports questions that are nagging at you provided they are not about hockey. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Normally at that time and channel, the airwaves are being polluted by the execrable Rick Jensen. However, with Jensen having puss drained out of the growth on his back this week, the show looks promising.
Monday (7/13) – Delaware Lt. Gov. Matt Denn Tuesday (7/14) – Tyler Nixon, Libertarian Party of Del. Wednesday (7/15) – Del. State Rep. Deborah Hudson, former State Senator Charlie Copeland & Republican Party of Delaware chairman Tom Ross Thursday (7/16) – Delaware Governor Jack Markell Friday (7/17) – Wilmington Mayor Jim Baker
