UPDATED: Congrats Tommywonk!
Tommywonk has been announced as the representative of the Delaware Blogosphere to the Democratic National Convention. The rest of us at DelawareLiberal.net will be spending the rest of the day crying in our beers.
Editor’s Note: This comment from a kos diarists bears repeating, because it ties Tommywonk’s trip to Denver to Truth Teller’s concern over Obama and Pandora’s post on those scary Republican 527’s
In the wake of the MS-01 win last night, can there be any doubt that Howard Dean has remade the Democratic Party with his 50-state strategy? Believe me, as an Idahoan, I can say it’s meant a world of difference to have a party chairman who actually cares about each state and territory. And today, Dr. Dean announced the 50-state blog strategy of one blog representing each of our states and territories, chosen from a pool of 400 applicants.

If it was not in the cards to be DelawareLiberal I would have it no other way.
Still……..FUCK!
Comment by liberalgeek on 14 May 2008 at 1:19 pm:
Agreed. On all points.
Comment by Sagacious Steve on 14 May 2008 at 1:23 pm:
Tommywonk brings the illusion of sobriety to the Big Dance. Not sure any of the rest of us could make that claim.
Comment by Shirley on 14 May 2008 at 1:33 pm:
Congratulations, TommyWonk ! I can’t think of a better choice.
Comment by Joe M on 14 May 2008 at 1:35 pm:
Not in any way trying to lend insult, but Tom is the only one of us that could do this, for exactly the reason the Sagacious Steve puts forward.
The rest of us indulge in too much invective/shenanigans/flamebaiting to be respectable enough!
Comment by Senator Tom Carper on 14 May 2008 at 1:35 pm:
Ha Ha!

Joe –
Indeed. It boggles the mind to think of Doviti standing next to Ruth Ann Minner on the convention floor.
TC –
Don’t you have some tariff subsidy bills you should be working on?
Comment by Wenk on 14 May 2008 at 1:47 pm:
I work in mysterious ways, Jason. Works better than that old dart board any day. You big dummy!

“Indeed. It boggles the mind to think of Doviti standing next to Ruth Ann Minner on the convention floor.”
I can see him next to Minner easily enough. I just couldn’t picture him sitting next to any respectable politicians!

Damn you Elizabeth!!
What’s worse is that this means I slept with you for nothing.

The illusion of sobriety?
Comment by X Stryker on 14 May 2008 at 2:08 pm:
Better luck next time, guys, and congrats to Tom.

I’ve seen TommyWonk out in public in social settings, and I stand by my remarks.
Comment by Rebecca on 14 May 2008 at 3:02 pm:
Congratulations Tom! I’m so glad you will be covering our delegation to Denver. It should be really interesting and I can’t wait to read your blog.
Comment by jason330 on 14 May 2008 at 3:06 pm:
Sagacious,
Do you have any pictures? Don’t make me subpoena your ass.
Comment by liberalgeek on 14 May 2008 at 3:08 pm:
I’m checking with the DNCC to see if a scandal would get us the spot instead of Tommywonk. Jason, don’t publish until we have an answer…
Comment by Sagacious Steve on 14 May 2008 at 3:09 pm:
Naah, no pix. Just seen him at quite a few concerts where he lets (what’s left of) his hair down.
Comment by jason330 on 14 May 2008 at 3:11 pm:
Ouch…double burn.
Comment by TommyWonk on 14 May 2008 at 3:36 pm:
What’s left of my hair? Are you sure you have the right guy?
Comment by liberalgeek on 14 May 2008 at 3:52 pm:
true. Perhaps he has you and DonViti mixed up. It would all make sense then…
Comment by Sagacious Steve on 14 May 2008 at 3:55 pm:
Didn’t mean to suggest you’ve got a chrome dome. Just that it’s shorter than I recall it during your years of city service.
Comment by cassandra m on 14 May 2008 at 5:58 pm:
Congrats, Tommywonk! You are going to have an excellent time.

MOTHER F”ER!!!!!!!
hey congrats!
MOTHER F”ER!!!!!!!
Comment by liberalgeek on 14 May 2008 at 6:34 pm:
I have to admit that I was hoping to do an audio/video extravaganza at the DNCC. I guess I may have to turn some of those plans to support Tom in his adventure.
You have to admit that having DV there would have been a reasonable facsimile of “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail of 2008″ I would have happily played the part of the 300 pound Samoan lawyer.
Comment by Delaware's Hottest Blogger on 14 May 2008 at 7:45 pm:
i already had my camel pack ready to go with a nice dose of marguerita’s and I was stocking up on pain killers…
I still think we should “plan” a trip to just do sidewalk interviews
Comment by Nancy Willing on 14 May 2008 at 8:00 pm:
There are some non-DEM DE Blogs in the Delaware Blogosphere, just saying..
not to say that tommywonk is not the best choice for DEMs!! Congratulations!
Comment by Savy Politico on 15 May 2008 at 9:07 pm:
Congrats Tom!!!
Hope you will make an effort to send us stuff Donviti would find interesting…not that same old same old dry crap.
