Tornoe’s Toon: The Quiet Chris Coons
Hey everyone! The folks at Delaware Liberal were kind enough to offer me a spot in their sandbox to post my cartoons, so here’s my first offering. If you’d like to contact me, feel free to drop me a line at robtornoe@delawareliberal.net. You can also follow me on twitter @RobTornoe.
John Kerry Boosts Chris Coons
I think we’ve all been a little disappointed since Chris Coons announced his Senate run but hasn’t been very visible. There’s some increasing evidence that his campaign is starting the ramp up, and he just got a big boost from John Kerry. John Kerry’s PAC announced his “Final Four,” four Senate seats that he says […]
Chris Coons’ Statement on Signing of HCR
Got this via one of our loyal readers:(I still don’t get any correspondence from the Coons campaign even though I’ve signed up for it.):
Congress made history Sunday night, adopting landmark health care reform critical for our nation’s economic future and the well being of its citizens.
It’s great news for the more than 100,000 Delaware residents who are uninsured and the 70,000 Delaware residents who will qualify for tax credits to help them afford the health insurance they need.
The bill passed Sunday night will also give 140,000 Delaware seniors access to free preventive care while lowering prescription drug costs for 25,000 seniors on a fixed income.
Castle On The Attack
Mike Castle’s attack machine appears to be stirring. Yesterday I saw this message on Twitter: Dozens of NCC employees to be laid off in July as a result of Coons’ budget. Read more: http://tinyurl.com/yazxuxg http://fb.me/sUhrYIPW I couldn’t get the first link to work, but the second link leads to the same message on his Facebook […]
Mike Gave Us Quarters
You will remember when I first came to Delaware Liberal, my new compatriots were kind enough to allow me to bring over a logo I used on my old blog “Daily Delaware,” the one with the Caesar Rodney quarter. I did not learn until many months later that our illustrious founder Jason330 was kind of reluctant to do that, since Mike Castle was the author of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997 that created the 50 State Quarter Program, and since Jason330 was Mike Castle’s mortal enemy. I was put in mind of that after reading the latest Kavips.
Memo to Michele Rollins: Bring It On!
Rethugs are virtually wetting themselves (except for the octogenarian Vicmead Hunt denizens, who really ARE wetting themselves) over the possible entrance of Michele Rollins into Delaware’s US House race. Michele Rollins earned her entree into Greenville gigagazilionaire circles the old-fashioned way: She married into it. A dewy-eyed 1963 beauty queen (the dew formed in the […]
New Senate Poll Gives Castle A 18 Point Lead (Updated)
Coons has obviously increased his name recognition, but still lags behind. This race will be an uphill battle for Coons and I think he can win, but he needs to start generating some excitement. I think that excitement starts with the grassroots Democrats.
Free Advice For Chris Coons, Part 2
Like we discussed yesterday, we at Delaware Liberal are offering absolutely free advice to Chris Coons in his Senate run against Mike Castle. Unlike a lot of people, I believe Castle is beatable. In fact, I think Coons could be in a great position if he plays his cards right. Castle is the de facto […]
Coons for Senate’s Bad Start
I just got an email from the Coons campaign. The topic of the email was PayGo. Seriously?
Look, I like the idea of PayGo, but here’s how Coons puts it:
Every week, I’m watching Congress debate incredibly important issues that impact Delaware, even though they often don’t get much press attention. Last week, the House of Representatives voted to reinstate “pay-as-you-go” rules. It doesn’t sound exciting, but these rules make it much more difficult for Congress to increase spending or cut taxes unless they also vote for a way to pay for it.
Absolutely Free Advice For Chris Coons, Part 1
Part 1 – New Media On the blogs, we all act as armchair pundits. Many people think our advice is worth what you pay for it, but the blogs do provide an insight into what the netroots is thinking. The netroots is fairly small compared to the whole Democratic party, but it does have outsize […]
Ask Dr. Liberal: Coons is in the Club Edition
Dear Doctor Liberal,
Do you think Chris Coons has the guts to really go after Castle? I view Castle as the incumbent in this race and they say to beat an incumbent you need to make the race a referendum on the person. Can Coons do that?

Governor Markell Surveys the Political Landscape on CBS News
…and pretty much owns this interviewer. He talks about the Coons-Castle race at about the 5 minute mark and says nice things. The Gov is quite good at this kind of thing, I think — he needs a better questioner than this reporter tho. If you hang until the end, there is a piece on […]
Did Biden Screw Over Democrats In The Senate Race?
Asked on MSNBC whether Beau had bowed out of a Senate campaign because the political terrain was just too unfavorable for Democrats, the vice president said that’s not how things went down: “He basically made that decision at Thanksgiving. It’s a question of how it got rolled out.”
