Dover Mayor Robin Christiansen's wife appears to be heading up a Republican smear campaign of Sean Lynn. Cindy Christensen, and a cabal Trumpsits are waging an online war against Lynn, possibly motivated by revenge against Lynn for his role in exposing Christiansen's malfeasance and corruption during the Chief of Police hiring scandal last February. The campaign is ongoing and includes a fundraising effort by Cindy Christensen which has resulted in a wave of Republican donations to Lynn's primary opponent. More as this story unfolds.

When: Monday, August 27th Where: Cab Calloway

Sponsored by the News Journal. I wonder if they'll exhume Celia Cohen to lob some softballs at Senator Dreamy?

If there's one thing centrists love to tell us, it's that America isn't ready for "radical" progressive ideas like Medicare for All. Somebody forgot to send that memo to Fox…

I've been watching MSNBC in the morning, and while he hates Trump I've concluded - Joe Scarborough is the worst. - Dems in danger of "overplaying thier hand". Such absolute bullshit - The DJIA is the economy, and the economy is doing GREAT! Absolute nonsense. - Ronald Reagan was a God among men. Simple minded idiocy. - Trump isn't a Republican. Yes he is, you dick. - I'm cool because I like Phish. Puke. I'm agnostic on Phish. People like what they like, but middle aged white guys who will not shut up about how cool they are, and who stake thier coolness on what jam bands they like are a-holes.

Rep. Christopher Collins, a Republican congressman from New York, was arrested Wednesday by the FBI merely for participating in a criminal insider-trading scheme to sell the shares of an Australian…

Lots of spin going on. If Dems do as well as O’Conner they pick up 80 House seats in November.

Don't cut us a check. We deserve it, but we have a better use for your hard earned scratch. On behalf of all that DL has given you on a daily basis, we are asking you to give to the upcoming online fundraiser we will be running for very worthy progressive candidates. We know you've already given to many of the candidates we'll highlight, but we are going to ask you to support people you may not have.

WHATEVER YOU THINK DL's continuing coverage of the political scene in Delaware is worth - save that for the upcoming fundraiser.

Thanks!

It actually reminds me of Mike Castle's last ditch attempt to re-brand as a handgun brandishing tough guy.

It is increasingly clear that Trump has lost his marbles. ...Trump likes to watch replays of his debate and rally performances. But instead of looking for weaknesses in technique or…

Breaking: Trump's idiotic minority is a minority.

Shelby County Democrats trounced Republicans last night. Of the 26 county offices up for grabs, Democrats won all but five — and those were previously Republican commission seats. Before the election, Republicans held nine of the 10 most high-profile county offices, including mayor and sheriff. Now, they hold zero. How to describe the devastation of last night's win for Republicans? It was a rout. A sweep. A wave that overwhelmed Republicans who had largely controlled the county — not counting the commission, which had a scant Democratic majority — since 2008. Of course, all eyes were on the mayor's race, where Democrat Lee Harris easily won by more than 10 percentage points: With 153,583 ballots counted as of 11:03 p.m., Harris had 84,956 votes, or 55.3 percent, to Republican David Lenoir's 68,491 votes, or 44.6 percent, according to unofficial results from the Shelby County Election Commission.

Memphis is in Shelby county.
