DEwind: The Week That Was November 17th

This past week has been a little slow on the Delaware news as blogged by Delaware bloggers. We’ve had the stories that guessed who would suceed Biden as Senator, even a plea for Beau not to to Iraq and another to say he should and Beau saying he’s not interested in his dad’s seat. Gov.-Elect Markell […]

Why Carney, Why Now?

Filed in Delaware, National by on November 18, 2008 23 Comments

Ruth Ann Minner must appoint John Carney to the position of US Senator as soon as Joe Biden steps down.  Joe Biden is currently number 5 in seniority in the Senate.  This is a big deal for Delaware.  Joe got his pick of committee assignments, choice accommodations and a bully pulpit for his (Delaware’s) issues.

This morning I took a look at my schedule and checked for any issues in my work inbox.  There wasn’t anything burning, so I took some time out of the office to check out the Biden rally on the University of Delaware mall. I have been wondering what the heck they were doing having a […]

Am I going to discuss last night? You betcha!

Filed in National by on October 3, 2008 49 Comments

What happened last night?  Whatever it was, it sure as hell wasn’t a debate.  Let’s start with the obvious.  Ifill sucked.  She honestly deserves the award for the worst debate moderator ever.  All her talk about how she worked on the “debate” questions… Nonsense.  In fact, halfway through the event anyone would be forgiven for […]
