Is The News Journal In The Tank For Castle?

Filed in National by on April 21, 2010 19 Comments

Ron Williams gives a little throwaway item at the end of his column today: Taking care to take credit Did I miss something?

Since the News Journal Couldn’t Be Bothered to Cover Chris Coons Launch….

Filed in National by on April 20, 2010 24 Comments

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010 10 Comments

Unlike nemski, I like this new guy with the Coons campaign. He came out swinging today against Castle’s complete hypocrisy.

In today’s Delaware Dialog, there is a post by Ginger Gibson that I have two issues with. David Hoffman, new to the Chris Coon’s Senate campaign, had his laptop stolen . . . from his car on Concord Pike. Leaving your laptop in your car?! In my humble opinion this makes Hoffman too dumb to […]
