Delaware Political Weekly: October 20-26, 2012
We get stuff forwarded to us all the time. From campaigns, from sources, from ’sources’, and from the parties. I call it ‘working the refs’. Part of the game, nothing wrong with it. Even if/when you don’t believe what you’re being fed, the information/propaganda is still worthwhile, b/c it at least gives you an understanding of which races the parties are prioritizing. There can now be no doubt that both the D’s and R’s are intently focusing on the 29th Rep. District, a Clayton/Dover district in Kent County. Incumbent Lincoln Willis is widely viewed in Republican circles as one of the (very few) rising stars in the Party. Were he to win this year, I would not be at all surprised to see him elected to a leadership position within the House Republican Caucus. Challenger Trey Paradee is, at worst, a live underdog in this race. You will recall that he almost defeated incumbent Pam Thornburg four years ago, the district has been redrawn in a manner that would appear to favor Paradee, and Paradee is a great campaigner. The Democratic Party has been touting this race, and the R’s have circled the wagons around Willis. When I featured my “Most Intriguing Races of 2012″, I wrote that this race was ‘under the radar’. It is under the radar no more.
Lincoln Willis Walks Out
That is the title of this riveting footage of Trey Paradee explaining to an audience how Rep. Willis just walks out on their interests in Leg Hall in order to further far right agendas:
Rep. Thornburg Also Retiring, According to Celia
This is also really big news from Celia Cohen. Rep. Pam Thornburg (R-Dover West) also announced her retirement at the same Caucus meeting where Bill Oberle announced his. She will become administrator of the Delaware Farm Bureau, a position from which she will no doubt lobby her former colleagues. This is huge b/c Thornburg barely […]
Help Out Trey Paradee This Weekend
Trey Paradee, who lost what former Phils’ manager Danny Ozark called a ‘cliff-dweller’ to State Rep. Pam Thornburg for the 29th RD seat in 2008, will host a fundraiser for the 29th RD committee and for ‘Democratic candidates’ on Sunday. I think this is the first announcement of its type for which I’ve shilled (thanks for […]
DEwind: The Week That Changed History
There is no reason for me to do an election recap, because it has already been done along with the best headline of the week, More Analysis on Pamela Thonrburg’s “Snatch”. Damn you kavips, damn you! While I’m reading kavips, one would have to be blind regarding the Paradee-Thornburg “re-count” fiasco, However I’m with Al Mascitti on […]
DEwind: The Week That Was October 27th
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.
