There are more than ten reasons, but I'm pressed for time, so I'm going to deal with a couple pressing issues, and let you guys flesh out the top ten list in the comments section. 1. John Carney must be stopped. Control of the state Senate is a serious issue. John Carney has already signaled on numerous occasions that he wants to Senate to flip so that he can push through his Chamber of Commence backed policies. Stephanie Hansen's election doesn't guarantee that Carney's plans will be thwarted, but it will present Carney with a stumbling block. 2. Stephanie Hansen is by far the most progressive candidate in the race. The Green Party of Delaware isn't contesting this race, so there is nobody to vote for (or work for, or donate to) on Hensen's left. She may not be your dream progressive, but the stakes are high in this election and arguing that there is no difference between Hansen and Marino is just as empty-headed as arguing that there is no difference between Trump and Clinton. And, yes. I am perfectly within my rights to vote for a less than perfect progressive without it conflicting with my liberal values.

While educators and politicians throughout the land are recoiling at the notion of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, Democrats created her. Or someone like her. The Democratic Party's embrace of corporate education, corporate textbooks, corporate testing and corporate-sponsored 'education reform' is what led to this.

…have faith in our values, our history and our country. America, in all its greatness, its variousness, its customs and history is far, far greater than any President

And yet here we have the opportunity to be America's guardians and protectors at a unique moment, perhaps a moment of especial peril. Who would not embrace that challenge? We know the curse: may you live in interesting times. We are living in interesting times. Most of us would not have chosen it. But we have it. I think many of us look back at critical momentous moments in our history, the Civil War, World War II, the Civil Rights Movement and other comparable passages in the country's history and think, what would I have done?

Democrats: What is Hansen all about? Is she another co-opted, corporate Dem, or does she have some progressive fire in the belly? I'm holding off criticizing or praising until I see something from the campaign, which I will get to hear from on Saturday the 28th:
