(Allegedly) Drunken State Rep. Andria Bennett (Allegedly) Attacks (Proven) Drunk Husband/Ex-State Rep. Brad Bennett. Coverup Ensues.
Somewhere, ex-State Senator Brian Bushweller (whose daughter was married to Brad Bennett until Andria Viola came along) is basking in the schadenfreude. Here’s the story. In all its glory, from TV Delmarva: BREAKING NEWS: Delaware State Representative Andria Bennett of the 32nd District has been arrested for 3rd Degree Assault. TV Delmarva’s Rob Petree was […]
The Official Delaware Liberal MVP Winners For 2020
“Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” JFK used that quote often. This is a year to celebrate all the contributors to the most successful electoral year in Delaware progressive political history. We’ll leave Jane Brady and that guy from Shop-Rite to wallow in the dregs of defeat. 15. Cerron Cade. Secretary […]
The Mo’ Better Democrats Watchlist For 2022
Starting with the premise that it takes time to successfully challenge incumbents, I decided to put together a list of incumbent Democrats who, in some cases, have already earned strong challenges in 2022, and those who had better up their games or face legit challengers. Prospective candidates, candidate recruiters, trainers and managers take note. This […]
What Do You Want To See The Delaware State Senate Address Next Year?
For probably the first time in the history of Delaware, the Delaware State Senate has progressive leadership, and more than enough progressive senators to tackle longstanding issues that have been kept on the backburner for years. Keep in mind that, if they try to do everything at once, they may end up getting little done. […]
DL Open Thread: Wednesday, November 18, 2020
Trump Fires DHS Official For Telling The Truth. If you’re paying close attention, he really WAS trying to engineer a coup. Might’ve worked, too, if the election was a little closer. Two Rethugs tried to engineer a coup in Michigan yesterday, then had to walk it back. Y’know, Trump has fired enough public officials that […]
The Extraordinary Promise Of A Progressive Delaware State Senate
We have never seen this before in Dover. Not ever. Yes, we have had progressive legislators in the Delaware General Assembly, but they have consistently faced uphill battles against the Delaware Way and the ‘leadership’ that perpetuates the Delaware Way. Like the leadership of the House D Caucus, which may only be one more election […]
Who Were Delaware’s 2020 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause)?
This was the best year for progressives in Delaware ever. You all saw it, you all took part in it, you all basked in the success. Meaning, it is now time for you to submit YOUR nominees for those who were most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware. I have one rule: When you […]
Erik Raser-Schramm Steps Down As D Party Chair, Will Join Matt Meyer’s Staff
This is great news for Erik. He is by far the best political operative in Delaware. As Democratic Party Chair, he opened up the Party to grassroots activism, opened the Party up to primaries, fought for inclusiveness, and helped the Party to establish dominance in Delaware. Prior to becoming Chair, he helped the House Democratic […]
Gaming Out The Delaware State Senate’s Leadership Contest
OK, kids, this should be fascinating. According to Matt Bittle at the Delaware State News, the Senate Democrats are expected to choose their leadership team sometime this week. There are 14 D senators. We know that the ethically-bankrupt Nicole Poore wants to be Pro-Tem, and we know that the progressive members of the caucus want–someone […]
Your All-Purpose DL DELAWARE Election Day Results Thread
Please limit this thread to comments and reports on the Delaware results only. Although…I suspect that as people perhaps imbibe a little bit along with the election results, mistakes could happen. No harm, no foul. BTW, it took until well after 9 pm before we got any Delaware primary results in September. When we got […]
What Are You Seeing Out There?
Headed out for an early morning shift as a greeter for Kyle Evans Gay. What are you seeing at your polling places and elsewhere?
El Somnambulo Predicts Some Of ‘Em For You: State House
Let me start with a race that isn’t competitive, because I’ve got a point to make: Rep. District 12: Krista Griffith (D-Incumbent) vs. Jeff Cragg (R). Every two years, the Brandywine Hundred R’s open a campaign office in Branmar 3, just off Marsh Road. Over the past few cycles, the number of officials and candidates […]
El Somnambulo Predicts Some Of ‘Em For You: The State Senate
Let’s face it. A monkey typing Hamlet could get most of these races correct. (I told you I’m adding bad analogies to my repertoire.) I ain’t gonna play that game. We all know that there are only a handful of competitive races, and they’re the only ones I’m gonna pick. First of all, some ramblings. […]
