I am actually going to miss Celia. Hers was not an opinion I often agreed with, but she was a good barometer on the political class’ conventional wisdom. She was a proud adherent to the Delaware Way. I can’t remember how many posts Jason, I, and others have done critiquing her opinions and her reporting. [...]

And yet Joe Lieberman remains in the Democratic caucus.   I think this demonstrates one of the differences between the parties:
The man who was the Delaware Republican Party’s standard bearer in the race for U.S. Senate in 2006 has been expelled from his position in the state Republican Party.

Update IV: I am seriously considering hiring a lawyer and investigating if in fact this election was legal.  I can say I did not vote at all, because as a good American I did not want to deface/debase our Homelands currency (and I am a cheap bastard).  The more I think about it, I may have [...]

Dana over at Delaware Watch explores the stupidity of [...]
