Tom Carper: No Comment on Blocking Carney
Even though Tom Carper’s Minister of Communications, Bette Phelan, probably hates my guts, and even though I, likewise, hold her boss in utter contempt, and even though I’m barely a member of the press, allowing all of that – it is her job her job to respond to me right? Even if I wasn’t writing […]
I’m Home
You always hear of those horror stories where passengers are trapped on a plane parked on the tarmac for hours on end. Well, I was lucky. That was the road I and my fellow compadres were traveling down, but 20 minutes after I posted my earlier story, the Captain came on the intercom announcing we […]
McCain Campaign Lobbying For Foreign Bank – UBS
If we had a real press in this country, McCain would be losing by 30 points. Get a load of this shit from Josh Marshall at TPM… John McCain’s top economics advisor, who is widely believed to be his choice for Treasury Secretary, should he win in November, is former Sen. Phil Gramm. As late […]
Ron Williams Phones It In
This could be a continuing series, I’m thinking. Today, Williams tells us what we already know, that Joe Biden is well within his rights to run for both his VP and Senate seats. Well, yes. And? He goes on not to take a position on whether this is a healthy electoral situation (it sure is […]
Returning to a Focus on Local Races
In a national election as important as the 2008 Presidential election is, and in a national election where, for the first time in history a Delawarean is a candidate for Vice President of the United States, it is quite easy for Delaware Liberal to concentrate on the national presidential race exclusively. During the summer, I […]
A Glimpse of a Green Economy
Tesla signs a lease to build a factory in San Jose, CA. Tesla Motors makes a high-performance electric sports car that not only goes fast, but can go for almost 250 miles on one charge. It is a boutique (but high demand) vehicle now, but Tesla ultimately wanted to build more affordable, more utilitarian cars. […]
Markell Primary Victory Speech
YouTube limits files to 10 minutes. With all the applause, Jack took too long. Nevertheless, check out the whole speech in two parts. Part 1 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgVB0MEqWRg[/youtube] Part 2 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Wsc2hkrxQ[/youtube] Bonus if you can hear the little boy next to me on the stage say “When’s Jack Markell coming on?” And then “When’s Barrack Obama coming […]

Carney and Markell
I have been, and continue to be, an undecided voter on the Markell/Carney decision. It may at times seem that I am an unabashed Carney supporter, but that is only due to the contrast with others in the blogosphere. I have a number of friends in both campaigns. I have been trying hard to give […]
Comment Rescue: The Political Place of Statewide Blogs?
Steve Newton writes in the Beating Castle Someday thread: First, what is the proper use of the blogosphere in statewide politics. Dean, Ron Paul, Obama, and even Hillary made successful use of the blogs, primarily to sign up supporters and raise funds on a nationwide scale. But when you shrink the scale to DE I […]
The Week That Was
The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that we […]
