Chris lost in his first run two years ago, but the district has added some areas that voted heavily for Mike Katz. Counihan has been a strong supporter of Mitch Crane and a strong advocate for marriage equality. As many of you know, Cathy Cloutier has twice ducked chances to make a big difference on behalf of equal rights for all Delawareans. It is time she was held accountable. Here is the smoking gun. Remember that, Brandywine Hundred equal rights supporters, the next time that Cloutier bats her eyes and tries to convince you that she’s reallyreally on your side. When the chips were down, she was nowhere to be found. Not once, but twice. And don’t get complacent, Dori Connor. We’re coming after you as well. Lip service just doesn’t cut it any more.

Sorry Everyone.

Our servers decided that the morning rush and reading hour would be the opportune time to take a nap. But, hopefully we are back up with no further interruptions.

Received a call to my cell phone, which is interesting. It was an auto message asking me if I knew who the current Insurance Commissioner was. I had the option of pushing 1 for yes or 2 for no. Obviously, I pushed 1. The second question asked me if the current Insurance Commissioner was 1) Matt Denn, 2) Karen Weldin Stewart or 3) Mitch Crane.

The Republican Female Problem

3 Comments
Welcome to 2012 – The Year of the Women. And women are furious. And while Romney may have won last night’s debate, he’s losing women. Take a look inside at a chart from TPM. Look what happened to Romney's favorability among women once the contraception debate entered the discussion. And make no mistake, this is a debate about contraception. Oh, Republicans are trying to make this about religion, but that's not going to fly. Why? Because it's a lie.

I Forgot About The Republican Debate

Just turned it on in time for a question about contraception. The audience booed and howled. Mitt and Newt got all self-righteous. Then Newt asked the moderator why Barack Obama, in 2008, wasn't asked about his support of infanticide. Oh my! They really have no shame.

If you aren't on Jack Wells' email list, I'm surprised - since everyone seems to be on this list! But if you're not... welcome to dueling emails. It begins with the one Mr. Wells sent to Red Clay on its hiring practices. Ms. Floore, the CFO of Red Clay responds.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results: Paul Clark

Karen Weldin Stewart has company on the bench of most unpopular politicians in Delaware. Paul Clark has a 51% disapproval rating, and a 30% approval rating. The rest don't know him or don't care. Still, a negative -21 point favorability spread is not something to smile about, even if this is an inaccurate non-random internet poll.
