Harris McDowell is defiant.
Like George Wallace befor him, Harris McDowell is making his principled stand.
Just as Wallace fought for white power, McDowell is fighting for Delmarva Power.
Just like Wallace, McDowell is determined. Unmovable.
In tommywonk’s post on McDowell’s doorway stand, you can hear McDowell’s stirring call to arms, “Delmarva Power now, Delmarva Power tomorrow, and Delmarva Power forever!”
Epilogue: Wallace stepped aside and the University of Alabama was integrated.
Noyes should have linked to Loudell’s blog on his post. Kowalko wrote a firey slap down of what this radio station has been doing with this draft.

The WDEL coverage has clearly been on the side of the segragationists – I mean Delmarva Power.
I was wondering about that. Who is it in the news operation of WDEL that has it out for Wind Power?
Clearly it is not Loudell who have been fair and given the issue a lot of balanced coverage.
Harris McDowell: “More Bang for Your Lobbyist Buck”.
After reading the post on DownwithAbsolutes, it appears McDowell is a bargain compared to Insurance Commissioner candidate Gene Reed. http://www.downwithabsolutes.com/index.php/2008/04/14/they-like-me/#comment-105688
With all due respect, Nancy, I think you’re talking about Rick Jensen, not the WDEL news operation.
Al – WDEL led with “Wind Power is Dead” and gave Copeland seven minutes in morning drive time to try and hammer in dozen or so coffin nails.
It sure seemed to me that WDEL was taking the position that it was not a draft report – but the final word.
On the other hand, they let him run for seven minutes in which Copeland irrevocably tied himself to McDowell and Delmarva. Now he has nowhere to hide.
Jason: We — or rather, the news organization — has to give all the players their say. I object to the hedline because it’s analysis, and as such should be attributed, which the hedline did not do. But it’s the newsroom’s job to put what Copeland has to say out there; the listeners can judge whether he’s full of it or not.
