DL Open Thread: Friday, July 22, 2022
What We Learned From Last Night’s Hearing–For Those Who Didn’t Watch. Bottom Line (except for his indictment): In any case, the series of Trump advisers and allies expressing disgust at his actions should convince all but the most delusional cultists that Trump should never be trusted with power again. As Pottinger said, Trump gave America’s […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, July 21, 2022
Trump Hands Maryland Governor’s Office To D’s. His candidate defeated the ‘establishment’ candidate backed by outgoing Governor Larry Hogan: The chief antagonist of Mr. Cox’s campaign was less any future Democratic opponent or even Ms. Schulz than it was Mr. Hogan, who won two terms as governor of an overwhelmingly Democratic state by focusing on […]
Calling All Spies, Calling All Spies…
…I need help (stated Captain Obvious). I can’t be everywhere at once, nor would I want to be in some of the locations I’m asking about today. Yes, I’m talking mostly Kent and Suxco. I have questions about many of the primary races there, and I need you to do my work for me. Be […]

DL Open Thread: Sunday, July 17, 2022
Was kinda fried after canvassing for Becca Cotto yesterday. But not too fried to enjoy a sumptuous set from Cosmic Guilt at the Shady Grove Music Fest. The harmonies were gorgeous. I can see/hear why WXPN is playing them: A Wilmington band, that shall remain nameless in order to protect their career, gave a shout […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, July 16, 2022
House Does Less Than Nothing. Fools Press. Kids: Here’s what the press is too dense to report–House leadership doesn’t WANT to remove McGuiness. THEY know that the Governor is correct in his position. THEY know that starting impeachment proceedings in the House is the constitutionally-designated way to do this. Instead, they send a letter to […]
Delaware Political Weekly: July 8-14, 2022

DL Open Thread: Friday, July 14, 2022
“Here he comes, That’s Kathy’s Klown.” Hmmm, just might make this my daily Open Thread musical grace note until/unless the Kowardly Kop at least komments about Kathy. Already got a great one picked out for tomorrow. Gary Trudeau might well have been writing about Speaker Pete when he alluded to a certain President as having […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, July 14, 2022
Speaker Pete & Delaware Media: Both Derelict In Their Duties. Speaker Pete finally surfaced. Just long enough to speak to a friendly group of D’s about legislation and emphatically not about KMG. Nobody from what passes for the press in Delaware bothered to cover his appearance. Speaker Pete’s ongoing silence and failure to take action […]
Speaker Pete ‘Unavailable For Comment’ Watch: Day 13
Today’s the day he’s scheduled to resurface. At a Party event to discuss, and I quote, ‘one of the most monumental legislative sessions in recent memory.’ He is scheduled to speak at 6 pm, with a meeting of the 14th RD Committee to follow at 6:30: I suppose that, in the post-Trump era, nothing seems […]
Carper Emerges From Cryogenic Chamber As A Tool Of The Buccinis
Always get fascinating stuff in my inbox from my spies. Take, for example, this. Please: This drooling drone is now completely depend(s)ent on his corporate fixers. Lisa, either step up or step aside.
Delaware Political Weekly: Filing Deadline Edition-July 12, 2022
The filing deadline is today at noon. The Department Of Elections generally does a real good job of providing updates on Deadline Day. We generally have all filings and withdrawals complete by around 2 p. m. Here’s what has taken place since Friday’s Delaware Political Weekly: 1. State Sen. Darius Brown (SD 2) Files For […]
Speaker Pete ‘Unavailable For Comment’ Watch: Day 11
Did what I usually do–scoured all the local news sources for Pete sightings. None reported. So, here’s where that leaves us: On July 1, 2022 State Auditor Kathy McGuiness is convicted on three counts of her indictment. Every Democratic legislator in leadership calls for her resignation. Except for Pete Schwartzkopf, who is unavailable for comment. […]
