Voter Outreach, BHL-Style
I just got an unsolicited text message: Hi, this is Ethan with Bethany Hall-Long for Governor. Bethany is a career educator, nurse and public servant endorsed by Governor Carney, the DE Democratic Party, the DE State Education Association, and many other state leaders. She has a bold plan to make Delaware the best place to […]
Margie Lopez Waite: A Walking, Talking Conflict of Interest
Guest Post By The One-And-Only Kevin Ohlandt Of Exceptional Delaware. In the 27th State Rep. District, incumbent Eric Morrison will have a primary against Margie Lopez-Waite on September 10th. I felt it was necessary for the voters to know what Lopez-Waite stands for. It is all about positions she is already in that would create […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries: #5: RD 29
Perhaps nobody is more ill-suited to his district than is Bill Bush. A Delaware Way insider, he served as a House Attorney to the Kop Kabal, destroyed the choice of the Del-Tech Board of Directors in order to install Lonnie George’s Chosen One as Del-Tech President, and perhaps has been the leading pro-business/anti-grassroots Democratic legislator […]
How Low Will Brain-Dead John Carney Sink?
Cut-and-pasting this: Friend, Thank you for everything you’ve done to support my campaign for Mayor. Today, I wanted to send a different message. I’m urging you to support Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long to be the next Governor for the State of Delaware. Over the last several weeks, Bethany’s opponents have distorted the truth and misrepresented the facts […]
BREAKING: Red Clay Teachers Call For DSEA To Withdraw Its Endorsement Of BHL
Never knew I had so many teacher friends. (Stating the obvious, none had to deal with me in the classroom.) But, starting this morning, several were in touch with me about this as I guess they all received the letter either at home or at school (I think this was the first day back for […]
Who Do I Vote For When All the Candidates Suck?
That’s the situation confronting voters in the gubernatorial primary. They might suck to different extents and in different ways, but they all have significant drawbacks. Bethany Hall-Long’s are obvious. Even without the financial mismanagement and Delaware Way mutual backscratching, I consider her unqualified for the job. Head of the health department? Sure, she seems like […]
BREAKING: BHL, Staff, Did Campaign Work On State’s Time
From Randall Chase of the Associated Press: Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office staff was in regular communication last year with her husband and other people involved in her campaign for Delaware governor and worked during office hours to help facilitate the use of campaign funds, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press. The emails, […]
Collin O’Mara Can Still Win IF…
Guest Post by the MoMo: “It’s not too late” – me, an undecided voter. This is a message to O’Mara, the candidate with the most to gain. Summer sucks the lifeblood from voter contact, paid and grassroots for all candidates. Speaking to officials and Party members and primary voters, the clear message is that it is […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries: #6–Democratic Lieutenant Governor
I think this primary becomes less intriguing with each passing day. The three candidates are State Senator Kyle Evans Gay, State Rep. Sherry Dorsey Walker, and Dr. Debbie Harrington. I’m not saying that the race is over, but Kyle Evans Gay appears to be the front-runner. I reported on her campaign finance windfall this morning, […]
The 30-Day Campaign Finance Reports
The filing deadline for the Delaware primary is Wednesday, August 14. As I start this, there are already 10 pages of filings at the Department Of Elections site. This article will be a work-in-progress as we will update it as the DOE site is updated, and as I get around to stuff. There’s simply too […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries #7: RD 29
This presents a great pick-up opportunity and a chance to strike a blow against the Delaware Way. How ‘Delaware Way’ is Bill Bush? He shepherded Delaware Way developer shortcuts through the General Assembly. As Lonnie George’s consigliere, he almost single-handedly overthrew the decision of the Del-Tech board to install ‘Dr.’ Mark Brainard as president. If […]
The Meyer Request For The Feds To Investigate BHL’s Finances Is Official
Here is the letter that the campaign sent: July 31, 2024 United States Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss United States Attorney’s Office P.O. Box 2046 Wilmington, DE 19801 Dear United States Attorney Weiss: I am writing to respectfully request that the United State Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware open […]
A VERY Special DL Open Thread: Thursday, August 1, 2024
I can’t sleep. I’m writing this at 1 a.m. Ever since I started here at Delaware Liberal back in 2009, my overriding theme has been the toxicity of the Delaware Way, and how that inside deal-making has slowed and sometimes halted real progressive gains here. Democrats and Republicans consistently placed the interests of Delaware’s wealthy […]
