El Somnambulo Predicts Some Of ‘Em For You: State House
Let me start with a race that isn’t competitive, because I’ve got a point to make: Rep. District 12: Krista Griffith (D-Incumbent) vs. Jeff Cragg (R). Every two years, the Brandywine Hundred R’s open a campaign office in Branmar 3, just off Marsh Road. Over the past few cycles, the number of officials and candidates […]

Bernie Wants Labor. Elizabeth Wants Treasury. I’m all for it. Except–not only would D’s have to navigate ensuring D replacements for the two, but where would the progressive leadership come from in the Senate? However, they could both promote progressive policies more effectively in the Cabinet than in the Administration. The banks, in particular, fear […]

El Somnambulo Predicts Some Of ‘Em For You: The State Senate
Let’s face it. A monkey typing Hamlet could get most of these races correct. (I told you I’m adding bad analogies to my repertoire.) I ain’t gonna play that game. We all know that there are only a handful of competitive races, and they’re the only ones I’m gonna pick. First of all, some ramblings. […]

Biden And Obama Give Great Speeches. Obama. Biden. I watched Biden’s Atlanta speech.No sign of ‘low-energy Joe’. It was a speech about reunification, and I loved it. Trump’s Omaha Rally, OTOH…. Elderly supporters left freezing for hours. So much for clinching that one electoral vote. Who Will Replace Kamala In Cali? If the D’s win […]

Rethugs Lock In Minority Government. The will of the people will be thwarted by the Supreme Court–unless Democrats do something bold. Which would be, what’s the phrase, out of character. McConnell: ‘They Won’t Be Able To Do Much About This For A Long Time”. Dems should take him up on this thrown-down gauntlet. A Plan […]

Meadows Admits It: Pandemic’s Out Of Control: Further complicating Trump’s campaign-trail pitch was an extraordinary admission Sunday from White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that the administration had effectively given up on trying to slow the virus’s spread. “We’re not going to control the pandemic,” Meadows said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We […]

Pence Team Tests Positive. Won’t stop Pence’s campaign schedule, though. WH tried to keep it hush-hush. Dems Target Georgia. Biden is heading there on Tuesday, Kamala and Jill have already been there. If they can pull Ossoff across the finish line, that would be huge. The Left Taking Up Arms? Interesting, don’t know what to […]

Trump Signs Executive Order To Destroy Civil Service. While nobody was looking. Pure evil. Biden had better have his transition team prepare about a thousand Executive Orders for him to sign on Day One. Whether He’s Reelected Or Not, Trump’s Debt Collectors Are Pounding At His Door. His post-presidency could well be a living hell […]

Trump Campaign Spying On Philly Drop Boxes. It’s voter intimidation, pure and simple. I cannot overstate the degree of voter suppression going on this year.

Best Pro Rasslin’ Segment In ForEVER!
As many of you know, my El Somnambulo monicker comes from my fictitious lucha libre background, featuring my legendary but totally made-up feud with the dastardly Teletubbymundo. I love pro rasslin’s zaniness, which WWE has excised from its product as Vince McMahon falls deeper into senility. Fortunately, a new alternative, AEW (All Elite Wrestling), premiered […]
