Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 19, 2024 18 Comments

Never knew I had so many teacher friends. (Stating the obvious, none had to deal with me in the classroom.)  But, starting this morning, several were in touch with me about this as I guess they all received the letter either at home or at school (I think this was the first day back for […]

A Bleepload Of Political Mailers.  Here’s what I got yesterday: Two mailers from Collin, at least a month too late; two anti-BHL mailers–gotta say, they were artfully produced; one mailer from Melanie Ross Levin or, more accurately, DSEA, addressed to my daughter, who does live in her district but doesn’t live here; one mailer for […]

Linda McMahon To Help Trump Transition.  See what I did there? Tulsi Gabbard To Play The Role Of Kamala For Trump’s Debate Prep.  Surely I’m not the only one who thinks he chose her b/c he thinks she’s hot.  Wonder what his plan is for a diaper workaround.  BTW, turns out she campaigned for the […]

State Auditor Sets Up Opioid Slush Fund Tracker.  Great work that would be absolutely unnecessary if BHL had not used it as her personal slush fund to benefit her political allies.  It goes w/o saying that BHL and her ‘staff’ are the last people who should be auditing this.  We can now add over $90K […]

Collin O’Mara Can Still Win IF…

Guest Post by the MoMo: “It’s not too late” – me, an undecided voter. This is a message to O’Mara, the candidate with the most to gain. Summer sucks the lifeblood from voter contact, paid and grassroots for all candidates. Speaking to officials and Party members and primary voters, the clear message is that it is […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries: #6–Democratic Lieutenant Governor

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 14, 2024 3 Comments

I think this primary becomes less intriguing with each passing day.  The three candidates are State Senator Kyle Evans Gay, State Rep. Sherry Dorsey Walker, and Dr. Debbie Harrington.  I’m not saying that the race is over, but Kyle Evans Gay appears to be the front-runner.  I reported on her campaign finance windfall this morning, […]

We’re gonna start our review of the Campaign Finance reports tomorrow.  We will update a lot in the coming days.  However, the Big Story is right there for everyone to see:  I can safely say that at no time in Delaware campaign history has there been such an influx of Third Party money into our […]

Oh, man.  Got my work cut out for me next week as we wade through the campaign finance reports. I start today, though, with a blank canvas (oops, almost spelled it canvass, which is what I’m doing after I write this Open Thread and get caffeinated).  Let’s color it in. ‘Dog Bites Man’ Headline: The […]

Just A Note Before We Go…Onto Something Other Than The Attempted Swift-Boating Of Tim Walz.  Two notes, actually. The guy who swift-boated John Kerry is the same guy trying to pull the same dirty trick on Walz: The common denominator in both efforts: Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita. LaCivita played a key role in the […]

Vance Tries To Swift-Boat Walz.  Could work. Nobody thought it would work against John Kerry either: Speaking in Michigan, Donald Trump’s Republican running mate said: “You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the United States Marine Corps … asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I […]
