Rick Jensen Interviews Red Clay Officials On Referendum

Kilroy live-blogged the show. Go over to his place and read the whole thing! Before I get into what was said during the interview let me say that it looks like we've found a tax increase that Rick Jensen supports. According to Kilroy, when Red Clay was asked about building a school in the city, rather than the suburbs, their answer was to cite the number of Charter Schools that opened in the city. Seriously? Charter Schools are not Red Clay schools, and that statement sounded as if RCCD was saying, "We don't need to consider our city residents since, if they aren't happy with our RCCD schools, they can leave our traditional public schools and go to Charter schools.

Now Romney will Attempt to Destroy Santorum

1 Comment
It is all he can do. Romney has no raison d'être for his candidacy. No vision. No core principles. He can't beat a conservative opponent on ideas or on his conservative record. He can only beat him by carpet bombing the airwaves and raising Santorum's negatives as high as his. And the more he does it, the more radioactive he becomes for the general election, and he is already at toxic levels as it is. After a prolonged battle with Santorum, Romney will be at Fukushima levels.

Former Congressional Candidate Mike Miller to run in the new 6th

15 Comments
Mike Miller was one of the unknown candidates that ran against Mike Castle in 2000 and 2002. If memory vaguely serves, he has also tried to run for some other races in Kent County and statewide. In other words, he is a perennial losing candidate. And he is back. I bet he loses handily to Andy Staton. Staton has done the leg work for this race, preparing for years. Miller is just jumping in for vanity reasons.

So, the poll on Governor Markell's approval has been open since last Thursday until last night at 10 pm. 152 people voted in it, so click through to see the results, and be sure to vote in our new poll on the middle column on the right on the job performance of Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart.

Christine O’Donnell Wants Some Attention

9 Comments
I missed this over the weekend, as I was busy with family events and real world work sidetracked me yesterday. But the wonderful gathering of hatred, ignorance and arrogance known as CPAC was held in Washington this past weekend, and of course, Delaware's own original wingnut theocrat Christine O'Donnell was in attendance. You remember that she sold herself out and endorsed Romney, don't you? Well now she expects some payback, Mitt, for all she has given you. She took it upon herself to inform the New York magazine that she would consider serving in a Mitt Romney administration.
