Delaware Liberal

The House has begun its recess -- officially known as a district work period -- and won't return for legislative business until after the July 4th holiday weekend. - via…

At the end of the first day of his 57 town tour, Markell is opening his Wilmington office.  Jack has a lot of smart young people working for him so hanging out will be fun. (I know I’m such an bad ageists liberal Dom)

Anyway, I have to be in court that day (don’t ask) so it will be something for me to look forward to.

Why doesn't Protack get that the endorsement of the 619 member Independent Party of Delaware is a curse and not a blessing? I swear he has the worst political instincts…

We need a 2 seat gain in the House to win back the majority. With the stakes so high, you hate to see us Democrats failing to contest various districts, thus giving a free pass to the election of a Republican. Why do we hate to see that? Because it allows the GOP to save all their money and volunteers and campaign staff and pour them into the competitive House races, and thus effectively defend their bare majority. If we contest them everywhere, they have less resources to fight us off.

 

As of this writing, it appears we will not challenge 11! Republicans this year. This is up from 8 Republicans that we failed to challenge in 2006. The unopposed so far are:

 

Gregory Lavelle (11^th)

Deborah Hudson (12^th)

Nick Manolakos (20^th)

Pamela Maier (21st)
Joe Miro (22nd)
William Oberle, Jr. (24^th)

William Outten (30^th)

Don Blakely (34^th)

George Carey (36^th)

Gerald W. Hocker (38^th)
Clifford G. Lee (40th)

I've had it with that old creep Mike Castle and the whole generation of old creeps in Leg. Hall. Old people are getting on my freaking nerves and guess what....the…

Hmmm….

Don’t get too excited – I think these are available for every Democratic Senator up for election this year. That would explain why there is no Obama/Carper button available.

Right?

Oh yeah…you Deaniacs should look below to the fold to see the great web ad that brough me to the page with the Biden button

Tom Noyes is going to be played by Ben Affleck. I'll be played by the other Baldwin Brother and Harris McDowell will be played by Donald Sutherland. I can't wait…
