As an aside, I post as Delaware Dem, which is a name I created in 2003 as the name I posted under when Daily Kos was launched. But just because my name is Delaware Dem here does not mean I have any connection to the Delaware Democratic Party.
I don’t. In no way do I speak for them, and given the shouting matches I have had with John Daniello, he would agree. But I digress…
The Delaware Dems have a new logo.
It is better than just going with the national D within a circle. It localizes the Democratic label. And while I know that chickens, or Hens, as it were, are local to Delaware, and the mascot of the University of Delaware, is it wise for a political party to have a chicken as his logo? Might send the wrong message.
Otherwise, the logo is great stylistically.
a rooster (clearly a male bird) with it’s butt spanked republican red. i like it. maybe it’ll give COD the platform she needs to launch a “pay my bills for another year, sussex county voters” campaign.
It does suit Delaware Democrats: Two-thirds blue, one-third red.
I do like it. The first state deserves a star. And we have to educate people about our blue hen mascot. The fighten’s come from three centuries of bloody, determined, Delaware bragging rights via blue cock fighting.
LOL – just saw Puck’s apt assessment. Delaware Way.
No open thread? Just saw this Cohen post on how poorly the state GOP statewide candidates are matching up with DEMs campaign cash-wise:

This logo offends me. 🙂 🙁
I was also going to note that Carper pushed for the ass end of the hen to be red.
RE it being a chicken. South Carolina gets around this by emphasize the wild ass bloodthirstiness of fighting birds.

Ours looks like a barnyard layabout.
It would be nice if they knew how to spell Democratic
Yes, I just got an email from Joe Aronson about it. The vendor who designed the logo is sending a revised logo that correctly spells “Democratic.” As I told Joe, I missed it the first several times I looked at it.
And by the way, that was the vendor’s error. I would imagine the staff at the Democratic Party knows how to spell Democratic.
hehe democrackheads
Pollo Democratico.
That’s what they get for using Charlie Copeland for stuff like this.
