    I also am voting for KWS, as well as Obama-Biden, Markell, Denn, and Biden.

  2. jason330 says:

    Hope about you?

    Wha?

  3. pandora says:

    Was the “hope” a deliberate typo… or is this like the plague? ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m voting for KWS. I pretty much decided after our interview when our thread went crazy. I kept asking for proof from certain posters and got nothing.

  4. nemski says:

    You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

    How ever, I fixed my typo ๐Ÿ˜‰

  5. nemski says:

    And Jason, who you voting for? Come on, spill the beans.

  6. jason330 says:

    Brady.

    KWS wins w/ 55%

  7. anon says:

    Think I will vote for Savage the only candidate who supports or even talks about real universal health care. I have not heard Karen speak about “health care”, she talks about auto and property insurance and bringing in more of the same to Delaware. How do those positions help all those in dire need of health care? I don’t get it.

  8. pandora says:

    Click on our interview (to the left of this screen) with her. She discusses healthcare.

  9. delawaredem says:

    Yeah, it is a malicious lie that she does not talk about healthcare. Listen to the interview anon.

  10. anonone says:

    Straight dem.

    “Okay, Iโ€™m done. My vote is going to Karen Weldin Stewart.”

    Look I am the clown around here ! You must be joking! It’s ok to be true to your party but your party didn’t endorse her! Let’s hope Nuclear War is never on the ballot!

  12. Brady. This job requires someone who knows what he or she is doing. The position isn’t partisan a la a governor or state legislator. It’s a cut and dry position that doesn’t require politics. Brady’s the guy for the job.

  13. Miscreant says:

    It’s only logical that if you would vote for a disingenuous mountebank like Obama, you would also vote for KWS.

  14. Wrong, miscreant. I’m splitting my ticket. Obama and Brady.

  15. Miscreant says:

    I can respect that.

  16. jason330 says:

    Wasn’t Lord Mountebank the Queen’s uncle?

  17. JohnnyX says:

    I too am going for Brady. I voted for KWS in the primary but that was really a vote against Gene Reed.

    These days I just kind of get a bad vibe from KWS – unposted resumes, obviously way old campaign photographs, etc. – there seems to be a concerted effort to put up some sort of facade and I can’t help but be concerned what is behind it. Brady has been far more open about things from what I’ve seen which is enough to make him probably the only R I will push the button for this year.

  18. Miscreant says:

    Lord Mountbatten?

  19. jason330 says:

    I’m reduced to hoping, when elected, she is used by Harris for good an not evil.

  20. Disbelief says:

    Brady will come to your rescue, Jason.

  21. kavips says:

    Looking over both websites at the invitation of Brian…

    I noticed this…

    Brady’s platform was full of incentives…and he dropped this line… he want to improve the current climate for insurance companies…

    Stewart’s platform was all about improving the lives of the insured….

    I don’t know about you, but last I looked, insurance companies were doing fine.. Highest profit margins, ….of course denying coverage, denying payments, raising deductibles can do that for a company….

    From all I have seen…its the insured who are getting the short end of the stick… selling homes to pay of medical bills the insurance refused to cover… not going in for preventive health care because they cannot afford the new deductibles…

    I find it hard to see how one can cheer for both Katz who fought the insurance companies… and cheer for Brady who seems, in his five point platform…to be timid about taking them on…

    The latter is what Williams was all about…. Just sayin’ since no one else was…..

  22. Dana Garrett says:

    Kavips, there is another important difference between Brady’s and KWS’ platforms: whereas Brady understands his platform, KWS doesn’t understand hers.

    Brady is the only vote a responsible citizen can make.

  23. liberalgeek says:

    Brady. And Harris, you’re next.

  24. Joanne Christian says:

    Jason, Geek, DanaG., Matthews, Kilroy,JohhnyX–proud of you all..that’s progressive! All you others—regressive.

  25. liberalgeek says:

    I just like his campaign slogan – let the gay guy work for you… ๐Ÿ™‚

    I kid. My perfect night consists of the following:

    Markell, Denn, Obama/Biden, Biden and Brady all win. In his victory speech, Brady announces that he is leaving the Republican party to become a Democrat. That is what I am going to bed and dream about. ‘night

  26. Nancy Willing says:

    Brady admitted on the Jensen show yesterday that he was asked to leave (well, he was removed, reinstated, went to court and then resigned by his telling) the Office of Public Defender. He said that he was accused of not being able to handle the case load given to him when he was moved from Family Court to Superior Court. Again, his own words.
    Can he handle the IC office?

  27. Unstable Isotope says:

    I voted for KWS. What sealed the deal for me was the rotten anti-KWS robocall I got yesterday. Brady may be a good guy but he has some bad friends.

  28. Gabriel says:

    Nancy Willing and Unstable Isotope: You may live to regret it your vote. I just looked at KWS’s DE campaign contributions forms through the end of October at denver.state.de.us and found a number of out of staters from CT, TX, NY, CA, all of whom are lawyers who get cases from insurance companies for defense of policyholders. Won’t accept insurance-related contributions? Haha. … yet another of her many lies. Also, if she gets elected, she’s likely to be unable to do the job since she has only a 2-year “associates” degree, but her online CV doesn’t mention the supposed school so that could be invented, too. A high school graduate for Insurance Commissioner…. wow. Most commissioners before her have been lawyers who could deal with the legal issues. We know all the rest already. Brady is more likely to be able to handle the job than KWS.

  29. anonie says:

    Stewart can’t even speak for herself. Her campaign manager speaks for her. What a joke. An AA degree. Laughable. This is one of the greatest hoaxes ever in Delaware.

  30. h. says:

    Voted for Brady.

  31. Nancy Willing says:

    whereas Brady understands his platform, KWS doesnโ€™t understand hers.
    *
    Garrett, of course, asserts this unsubstantiated bullcrap with all of the force of his latent superego.

  32. Nancy Willing says:

    Brady Buncher, since when has Copeland, Lee or anyone else with STAFF been running their jaws on the blogs? D’OH. Brady has anony cowards.

  33. Disbelief says:

    Hey Nancy, how many times have you and Eliot ‘fronted’ for your mysterious candidate?
