I consider myself a Loou Dobbs conservative with a brain, although I have been anactive Dem all my life, even bfore I was able to vote. This is a challenge of principle. Once again,no one in 41st wanted the spot, so a deal was convneinelty cut. This is an impotant seat for both parties. Late as i was for filing, my campaign is in fulll swing and I welcome all registered Democrats of the 41st to jump on board. Liars to the Ethics Committe and wife beaters not welcome. bbl

I didn’t like how Adkins acted when he got in trouble, but, he was always there for his constituents and that is what wins elections. If Rep. Hastings has not been doing his constituent work he is going to be in trouble.

What I find interesting is that the Dems in the Del. House went after Adkins when he got in trouble. He wasn’t fit to hold office. Now, they love him! It is funny has opinions change when looking for that magical number 21!

Lifflander has stated in past campaigns that she would introduce same sex marraige, and abortions without parental consent for minors as young as 13. She is from Yonkers, New York and too liberal to win in Sussex County. The Local D’s didn’t endorse her in the last two general elections when she was the only democrat on the ballot. Alot I mean ALOT of Atkins signs in front yards in that district!

Barbara Lifflander can claim one thing on her political resume: getting beaten soundly by John Atkins (70-30 in ‘04, 65-35 in ‘06). True, he didn’t have DUI and domestic violence controversy on his record back then, but I have a bad feeling he’s going to beat her again.

As for beating Hastings, well, we’ll see how the 7/28 debate goes in Oak Orchard.

John Burton was the Indy candidate. Atkins denied involvement, but became a regular caller on local talk radio. The financial backing came from the head of a prominent farming family from the Seaford/Laurel area who claims he is a Dem. David Horsey is his name.

I believe Atkins owns the vegetable stand on 113 in Dagsboro.

Poor Adkins. No job, nothing to do. Gee, that legislator job made me important.

politicians are only concerned with themselves. there is no other ‘job’ that you get from winning a popularity contest. no who else besides ego maniacs would want to get a job based on how many people like them?

No involvement? OK. In that case I’ve got a bridge to sell you….

He has stated that he had no involvement with that effort, the write-in effort …

Didn’t Atkins run a write in campaign? I thought with him there were 4 altogether in the special election.

It was a three-way race in the 41st Special Election but Lifflander wasn’t involved in it …
