Delaware Liberal

Mitt Romney just told an Iowa crowd: "Corporations are people, my friends." There is video. And it will be a killer campaign ad. Meanwhile, Obama leads all comers, including the mysterious generic Republican.

Talk about your local, sometimes non-political news stories here, or talk about the political stories we aren't talking about... yet.

A Message from Cindi Saadi, Case Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sussex County, Delaware:

One of our commentators thinks we are behind the interesting cyber vandalism on the Amazon page for Christine O'Donnell's new book, but I swear, we had nothing to do this. Remember, Christine O'Donnell is a national joke, not just a local one.

We read Celia Cohen because she is the canary in a gold mine. Like a Seven of Nine liberated from the Borg, but still has a direct link to the hive mind. Actually, considering she is sponsored by Pete DuPont and all his Chateau Republican friends, she is really none of those things, rather she is a bought and paid for spokesman for the Castle blue bloods that formerly ran the Delaware Republican Party. So it is interesting that her new target is Terry Spence.

My biggest complaint about Delaware is the lack of online district maps. The General Assembly website tries but they post these almost unreadable PDF monstrosities that are all unconnected. Yeah, go over to the redistricting section of the General Assembly's website and you will find no complete full map that puts all the districts together for easy viewing. So I make my own.

Talk about your local, sometimes non-political news stories here, or talk about the political stories we aren't talking about... yet.

We receive anonymous tips, and sometimes anonymous questions: "In light of the most recent scandal involving the corrupt insurance commissioner, wouldn't it be more topical to ask whether the Delaware IC should be appointed rather than elected?"

How does one veto a bill from 5,000 miles away? Yes, yes, I understand the modern wonders of email and airmail, and air travel and the like. Does he take out a veto stamp on the rim of a volcano, dip the stamp into the lava and laugh maniacally as he stamps the bill repeatedly?

Sorenson v. Sokola. Katz v. Lavelle. Staton v. Deaver. Miro v. Manolakos. Redistricting creates two interparty showdowns and two possible intraparty showdowns, all so Tony DeLuca could get his retaliation on Progressives. And who is retiring? McBride? Gilligan? Venables?

A bad thunderstorm and a possible tornado hit Hockessin, Talleyville, and Arden early this afternoon. Post your storm stories.

am in the process of reviewing and updating our blogroll on the right side of the blog. Since the last time I did a roll call of the Delaware Blogosphere, a number of sites have come and gone. If you have a local Delaware political blog that you run or read, let me know about it here in the comments. Tomorrow, I have have a review of each and an updated blogroll on the front page, and each week, I will be resuming my "Delaware Dem's Round Up" of local blog posts about local news and politics.
