Comment Rescue: The Real Mike Castle
Al Mascitti made a great comment about the dressmaker’s form that is Mike Castle: “our Republican Representative, who in no way represents the majority view of Delawareans.” Bold assertion, but I think it’s based on a faulty premise — that Castle’s voting record represents the man. The problem any Democrat will have is that you […]
Jack Markell Calls For Putting State Purchasing Power Behind the Promise of Renewable Energy
This statement from Markell is a fantastic glimpse into the kind of smart, action oriented Governor he is going to be. NEWARK – Recognizing the important and crucial role the state can play in the ongoing negotiations over offshore wind, State Treasurer Jack Markell pledged Monday morning to purchase wind power for the state as […]
Adventures in Parenting
My 11 year old son has gotten to the point that he requests WSTW be played when we are driving somewhere. Tonight as we drove to the Bear/Glasgow YMCA for a quick swim, I started listening to the lyrics of the song playing on the radio. The song is “I Kissed a Girl,” a techno-rock […]

I’m sure this will be a recurring feature as we watch Mike Castle’s hero struggle to November.

But video from McCain’s address shows him giving […]

This bill aims […]
Ask Not For Whom The Clue Phone Rings…
It rings for thee… This is a tidy explanation of what most passionate Clinton supports don’t get. What’s got Democrats worried (Democrats always worry, usually out loud and to the press) is party unity. And there’s no question Obama has his work cut out for him. Now, here’s the thing. If I had a nickel […]
Will Tony DeLuca Be The Hero Of In State Wind Power?
Five months ago I never thought I’d be asking that question. Tommywonk has the full story, but it looks like DeLuca is pressing Delmarva Power to accept a deal that would get the in state wind power deal done. His leverage, in the event that Delmarva Power balks, is to simply pass HCR 38 AS […]
