Robert Keesler has filed to take on incumbent Gerald Brady (D-4th RD) this fall. While the district is more hospitable to an R than the other city-based districts (the bizarrely-gerrymandered district goes from Wilmington to Hockessin) it’s still a D-leaning district. Registration figures show 8200 D’s; 5097 R’s; and 4537 I’s. Keesler is a new name to me. He has written a couple of entries on the blogs, including our own. IMHO, Gerald Brady is a hack, but he's in a district that has elected him a few times now, and my first impression of Keesler doesn't make me think that he'll have any better luck than Tyler Nixon did vs. Brady. Colin Bonini Files... ...for reelection to his State Senate seat in the district drawn just for him by Tony DeLuca. His official listed name on the ballot is Colin RMJ Bonini. Which, of course, raises the question, what does RMJ stand for? It's contest time!

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.
