Markell Calls Out Carney On Wind Power (& Leadership)
Jack Markell killed two birds with one stone at the environmental debate on Tuesday. He put John Carney in a very tough spot and advanced the cause of off shore wind power for Delaware by making a simple observation.
Here is the deal, when wind power came up Markell explained the special influence the Lt [...]
Harris McDowell Vs. Reality: Senator McDelmarva’s Bogus “Report” Recieved As Such
People are clearly seeing through McDowell’s “Final Report” scam.
Tommywonk has a great take down of the McDowell report’ fraudulence here.
Back in January, Harris McDowell promised that his hearings and the subsequent report would be “fair, above board and impartial.” If that had been the case, then the minority report would not have been [...]
Wall Street Journal Calls It For Obama
The Democrats Have a Nominee
Barack Obama is the the nomiee. No matter how many kicks the rest of us find in such famously fun primary states as Indiana and South Dakota, it’s going to be McCain versus Obama in 2008. – 2/24/08 WSJ
That is not unhatched chicken counting. [...]
Celia’s Dream of Bill Lee Simply Will Not Die
Celia keeps pushing Bill Lee for Governor on her blog, Delaware Grapevine.
The only reason that I can think of that she could have for beating this dead horse is that Mike Castle is telling her to.
Here she tips her hand by playing fast and loose with the fact:
Lee was an obvious alternative, a Republican [...]

20 Super Delegates To Announce For Obama Prior To NC Primary
Via Kos…
Brent Budowsky, a blogger with The Hill, just told Clout host Richard Greene that “at least 20 superdelegates” are privately committed to Obama, and will slowly pledge their support for him over the coming weeks, mainly before the NC primary.
Budowsky stated that his sources were rock solid, and that Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry was [...]
I feel better
Don’t watch the clip yet. First take a moment and consideer the fact that Dave Burris and Mike Castle do not regret voting for him and they would not take the vote back if they had the chance.
Okay. Now play the clip.

Pulling The Plug On Delmarva Power
This is a great resolution.
Dover, DE – Tomorrow, 16 state lawmakers will introduce House Concurrent Resolution 50, which recommends Delmarva Power be denied the ability to pass onto its customers the costs it has incurred opposing the power purchase agreement (PPA)with Bluewater Wind. Since its refusal to sign the PPA in December, [...]
Write A Wind Power Letter To The Editor
The News Journal is stonewalling the Harris McDowell story and people have asked me what we might do to get them off the dime.
Writing a letter to the editor is a good place to start. They probably will not print it but if they get a bunch of letters asking about McDowell’s corrupt [...]
Gearity To Senate Energy Committe: No More Secrecy, What Is McDowell Costing Taxpayers?
Gearity rightly points out that we are paying for McDowell’s various ploys and schemes to undermine Wind Power.

Jack Markell’s Line In The Sand: No Teacher Layoffs
Markell’s statement leaves no wiggle room.
NEWARK – State Treasurer Jack Markell released the following statement Tuesday in response to the Minner-Carney administration’s recent directive to school districts and charter schools to prepare to cut their operating budgets by 8 percent: “Delawareans from all across the state have told me in the past few [...]
How Greedy is Pepco Holdings ?
I just heard a Shell Oil Co. economist on the radio saying that by 2050 the demand for all forms of energy will probably have doubled.
That means DP&L, Conectiv and all of the Pepco companies are going to be making lots of money for a long time.
But Pepco holding does not want to make more [...]
McDowell’s Latest Money Grab On Tomorrow’s Agenda
SB 228 is on tomorrow’s legislative agenda. SB 228 is the direct descendant of McDowell’s egregious SB 235.
It puts an unaccountable board in charge of the millions that are expected to be coming to the state by way of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
It is McDowell’s most recent attempt to use is [...]
Mike Castle Considers New Conjunction for House Race Against Karen Hartley-Nagle
Mike Castle has confirmed that he is considering a significant linguistic change to highlight his reputation as a “maverick” and attempt to close the “vitality” gap between himself and his challenger in the upcoming house race.
“‘However’ has been great to me and I’m going to miss it, however, it is time to move [...]
Bob Barr To Run As Libertarian
I guess the rumors are true.
This is good news for Ron Paul fans and Democrats.
SuperDelegate Carper Gives Himself an “out” to Vote For Clinton
Today’s News Journal cracked me up.
“As a neighbor to Pennsylvania, that result will not be lost on me.” he said. “If Barack end up winning there and runs the table on other state primaries, that’s going to have, I think, a strong impact on a number of super delegates.”
So if Clinton wins [...]
UPDATED: Bethany Hall Long To Win Steve Amick’s SD 10 Seat
UPDATE: EL Sonambulo has the skinny in the comments.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is an easy Dem pick-up. BHL is a determined campaigner and a shrewd electoral tactician so I know she has done her homework on this and then some.
Amick had it easy in 2004 and only polled 55%. Today, the 10th district (map), like [...]
Harris McDowell is using public office for personal gain – The Smoking Gun
I wish that the statement above had the ability to shock, but for people who have been watching McDowell for a while it is not shocking. McDowell works for Delmarva Power. Ho hum. McDowell is working to establish a six-figure job for himself in the manner of Roger Roy.
No duh.
These are simple facts that are [...]

McDowell Ethics Story Update In the Works
My last Harris McDowell post generated a lot of interest, so I want to tease an update based on some new information I’ve turned up and basically keep the pot simmering.
I’m taking my time because I fully expect this reporting to be the base for a number of the main stream media stories that [...]
Xstryker Picked This Up In A Flash
While we were live blogging the debate Xstryker noted that what Charlie Gibson thinks of as middle class (people who make $200,000 per year) most people would consider rich.
Indeed, people who do have a family income of $200,000 are in the top fifth of the country in income.
Comment Rescue: John Feroce Gives a Glimpse into The GOP Mind
The Republican ability to live happily in an alternate reality never ceases to amaze me. John Feroce provides a textbook example of this vital GOP skill over at DP:
I want a transitional President and Bush’s main primary rival in 2000 fits the bill. I’ll be glad to look anew in 2012 for the [...]
Howard Dean to Joe Biden: Enough Already!
Perhaps in response to last night’s debacle in which ABC news shilled for McCain for two hours, Dean tells superdelegates to cut the bullshit.
An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they’re for – and “I need them to say who they’re for starting now.”
“We cannot [...]
