Ron Paul Kingmaker?

Grover Norquist seems to think so... Still not sure of Paul's plan. I pointed out earlier this week how Paul attacks everyone but Mitt Romney. But... I'm still having trouble seeing Paul as a "team player." He's a loose cannon with lots of power.

When Sarah Palin Agrees with You….

.... you either kill yourself or shower with steel wool. Sarah Palin, the failed Vice Presidential nominee and half term Governor of Alaska, a woman who currently holds no official or unofficial position within the Republican Party, government, organization or association, is making demands. She wants Mitt's tax returns and proof of a net gain of 100,000 jobs at Bain. So do I.

Thursday Open Thread [1.12.12] (Updated)

President Obama raised $68 million combined for his re-election campaign and the Democratic Party during the final three months of 2011, raising his 2011 total to $250 million. And we are getting general election matchups polled again, showing Obama leading all GOP candidates.

While the legislative season didn't exactly kick off with a bang, the political Hot Stove League was in full blast mode in Dover. House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle, who had already told colleagues that he would not run for reelection to the House, announced that he would seek the 4th Senatorial District seat currently held by Sen. Michael Katz (D-Centreville). More surprising was the announcement that Rep. Dennis E. Williams from Brandywine Hundred is facing a primary challenger.

What’s Ron Paul’s Delegate Plan?

Since the Tea Party and the Christian Coalition can't get their act together, and have proven they aren't a force to be reckoned with, we move onto the only candidate that can throw a monkey wrench in Romney's inevitable nomination.

Wednesday Daily Delawhere [1.11.12]

Looks like the attack on freedom that occurred yesterday here at Delaware Liberal disrupted my scheduled Daily Delawhere post. But our conservative adversaries cannot keep us down for long. So here, enjoy a picture from downstate. This one is easy.
