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

Filed in National by on April 20, 2010 24 Comments

Did you notice what was missing from the News Journal today?

Coverage of Chris Coons’ official launch of his Senatorial bid. No wonder they have a hard time getting people to buy this thing. A serious candidate for Senate does the three county tour and the best the NJ can do is show a picture in the dead tree edition.

From an announcement in my in-box from the campaign: Our Sussex County event will be at 10 a.m. on the boardwalk in Rehoboth. Our […]

Mike Castle Is A Hypocrite, Part Eleventy Billion

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. Castle, who’s voted against providing jobs through stimulus and against unemployment benefits, is hosting a jobs fair. “Congressman Castle voted against job creation many times before deciding to hold another jobs fair,” said Coons Communications […]

The Young Eagles & Mike Castle

Commenter anonone points us to this link from Politico. The article explains what the Young Eagles program is supposed to do and how it works. The program is supposed to encourage younger rich Republicans to become high dollar donors to the RNC. What it actually does is function as a way for the RNC to […]

John Kerry Boosts Chris Coons

Filed in Delaware, National by on March 31, 2010 11 Comments

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 […]

Mike Castle: Pro-Repeal?

Filed in Delaware, National by on March 25, 2010 13 Comments

Mike Castle held a fundraiser with pro-repeal Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. The Republican discipline on health care reform is starting to disappear though. Some Republicans like Mitt Romeny (who is having trouble explaining why the MA individual mandate is o.k. but the national mandate is not), Rep. Mike Pence and Sen. Jim DeMint want a […]

Chris Coons’ Statement on Signing of HCR

Filed in National by on March 23, 2010 13 Comments

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.
