Retired Judge Bill Lee once again decides not to attend.  He is on his 20th vacation of [...]

Resurrection

August 19th, 2008 · 17 Comments

Paraphrasing Chuck Todd just now on Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
According to people close to Biden, pay close attention to Biden smiling when he is saying he is not the guy.  If he was told he really wasn’t the guy, he would not be golfing, but inside doing some introspection.   The Obama campaign is taking the [...]

Howard Fineman:
Within the last few hours I’ve spoken with two of the finalists for the role of Barack Obama’s running-mate, and to two other sources who are close to the process.
My bottom line is this: Barring a big surprise or last-minute change of heart, the choice is likely to be Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, [...]

BIDEN DAY

August 19th, 2008 · 13 Comments

Despite Donviti’s drunken objections last night, the word is starting to filter into the traditional media.   Look at this tease from Mark Halperin of Time Magazine’s “The Page” this morning.  
Say It Is So, Joe

Foreign Relations, Judiciary, debater, speechifier.
Bo knows….the pick.
Another tease: The News Journal now has redone its special online section on Joe Biden.  Remember, [...]

Oh Noes! “Biff” Lee is Challenged!

August 18th, 2008 · 15 Comments

This morning’s News Journal article reads like it is an unthinkable travesty that Representative Biff Lee (40th) is being challenged in this year’s election by a Democrat.   Indeed, the article paints his decade long streak of running unopposed as a great accomplishment.

Biden in Georgia this weekend.

August 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments

John McCain sent his buddies Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham, without the invitation of the Georgian government or the permission of ours.   The President of Georgia, Misha Saakashvili requested Joe Biden.
With McCain using Georgia politically in the past week as a reason to elect him President, this is a devastating blow to his campaign, especially [...]

Gordon Hype Half Baked

August 17th, 2008 · 19 Comments

For all the hoopla Tom Gordon has received in the News Journal and among those who fashion themselves as being against corruption in the Delaware blogosphere, he has only $3,617 in the bank.   He raised $22,000, but spent $18,000.    His opponent, incumbent County Executive Chris Coons, leads all county candidates with $127,907 in cash on [...]

McCain Forgets, Example #1,387,259

August 15th, 2008 · 8 Comments

In the video clip below, the pretend President, John McCain, who has sent a pretend delegation to Georgia, thus traitorously interfering with U.S. foreign policy, says that the Georgian-Russian War is the first serious international crisis since the end of the cold war.
Let that sink in.
Since 1990, in McCain’s mind, there have been no serious [...]
