Make sure you put in your picks for our Election Contest.

The biggest news is in the Delaware blogosphere is quite simply the Insurance Commissioner contest between Karen Weldin Stewart, John Brady and Tom Savage. As Kavips wrote:

Anyone who remembers Donna Lee Williams, must understand what an improvement these last four years have been.

For those of you (myself included) take a look at the candidates at make an educated decision on who you will vote for. Brian Shields over at The Mourning Constitution makes it easy for us with his Five Questions series. There is also The Community News’ 2008 General Election Guide with self-written profiles of Karen Weldin Stewart, John Brady and Tom Savage. Then comes the news about other news. So, now what to do? My tact is to stick to the issues. The choice is yours, but one you should make.

This past Saturday morning, John Clatworthy was in front of me buying  donuts and coffee for his minions. I wanted to ask him what he thought about Kavips’ list of why he hates Clatworthy or the slap down Project Vote gave him, but one of his daughters was with him and, alas, I am no DV or Jason, so I let him pass unscathed. After all, I was unsure of the answer to the question.

Earlier in the week, there were two great debates regarding John Atkins, Delaware’s unique creation, went on here and at Delaware Politics. Burris writes:

Lying profusely is what got John into trouble the first time and one would think he’d learned his lesson. Apparently, that is not the case. Unfortunately, people seem to be buying the “new” John Atkins hook, line and sinker. 

And on Sunday, another debate, for those of you counting that’s over 120 comments. Mike, at Down With Absolutes!, predicts Atkins winning by a landslide and kavips skewers Atkins in Profiles of Garbage.
