Senator Carper is apparently holding a telephone Town Hall tonite — there was a message waiting for me on my phone last night providing a heads up that they would call. And we had a tip from one of our contributors that he had gotten the same call.
Help Cast The DE Political Blogosphere Movie

Tom Carper Emerges to Speak
The News Journal reports that Senator Tom Carper will be available for a live video chat about Health Insurance reform on the delawareonline.com site TODAY at 5pm.

Progress on Delaware’s National Park?

The Democrat Who Would Kill Health Care Reform
No, it’s not Tom Carper, although, based on his verified ties to the industry, he likely would if he could, and he’s doing his best as a junior obfuscator. It’s Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, who WILL kill health care reform if enough of his Senate Democratic colleagues (including Tom Carper) allow him to. A […]
Okay. Mike Castle is our Next Senator. It has been decided on high.
All the signs are pointing to a Castle Senate run and I appears that the fix is in. Just check out the Newark Post coverage of the AMTRACK stimulus event:
The Amtrak Bear Car Shops took time out to celebrate the completion of the first passenger car to be rebuilt with stimulus funds.
