NEWARK, DE – The Executive Director of the Delaware Republican Party, John Fluharty, just p---ed a b---r over this tid-bit.
Mayrack’s LinkedIn profile summary states that the candidate has “extensive experience in all aspects of unclaimed property advising.” However auditing itself—the primary job of the State Auditor—is not mentioned a single time.
Tom Wager has the word auditor on his linked in page, but it is enclosed in quotation marks. I'm Delaware's "auditor"

The New Hampshire Senate race ... is closer than you might think. The three most recent nonpartisan polls — by New England College, SurveyUSA and WMUR — put Shaheen up by an average of 3 points. Her lead, which has tightened since the summer, is steady but it's narrow, and most polls have her below the 50 percent threshold. That's hardly safe territory.
She is running against a total douche bag in Scott Brown. And yet...
...Cook Political Report shifted its rating of the race from "lean Democratic" to "tossup," deeming it one of 10 contests poised to determine Senate control.
How could that be?

Conservative columnist and climate change skeptic George F. Will baffled his fellow Fox News on Sunday panelists by insisting that scientists had not come to a consensus about whether Ebola could go airborne. Uh, Georgie poo, if Ebola was airborne, by now, the population of Dallas, Texas and Cleveland, Ohio, not to mention the whole continent of Africa, would be showing symptoms by now. I really am amazed at the conservative brain, or lack thereof. I mean, George Will is suppose to be one of their smart ones.
Is Sean Barney planning a late October surprise or something?

I'm asking, because I'm not seeing much campaigning. Is it me? Is Sean Barney absolutely crushing it outside of lower New Castle County? Granted, my interest in this campaign is minimal, so my political radar isn't constantly scanning the horizon - but that makes me a normal voter this round. Or maybe this is the strategy, keep a low profile and just ride the registration advantage to a win? If anyone has some insight into this race, I'd be eager to hear it.

I can predict that next year's General Assembly will be all about education and pot. Why pot?
A majority of Delawareans support fully legalizing marijuana according to a new poll, but the issue’s political future isn’t quite as certain. 56 percent of state residents are in favor of it, compared to 39 percent opposing the issue according to the University of Delaware poll.
