O’Donnell and Urquhart – Birds Of A Feather
What is it about these two and their fixation on the phrase separation of Church and State?
Today Christine actually made a debate audience gasp.
And who can ever forget Glenn’s stellar performance…
That video never gets old, and I’m thrilled Carney is using it.
There really isn’t a difference between Glenn and Christine, and that needs to be [...]
A Reminder…
In case you’ve forgotten… Steve Benen and Bill Simmon make a video.
VOTE!

Comment Rescue: Think 123 On Delaware Politics – Where Does O’Donnell Live?
While I won’t link to David Anderson’s House of Crazy, Think123 has been asking the same questions on every thread. Needless to say, he has received no answers. Notta one.
Do you know where O’Donnell was born, raised, went to school? Do you know where she lives currently? What year she became a Delaware resident. Do [...]
O’Donnell’s Questionable Campaign Spending Is Catching Up To Her
At issue are more than $20,000 of spending in 2009 and 2010 that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington claims was illegal. For those of you dying to paint this as a partisan witch hunt (witch hunt – get it!) the group calling for the investigation is the same group that called for Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, to step down after allegations of ethics violations.

From The Mouths Of The “Big Boys” And “Little Girl”
Here’s a new twist to the victim card. Sharron Angle says that Harry Reid is “trying to hit the girl.”
“It is also the corruption in Washington, DC that is characterized by Harry Reid, lets-make-a-deal cronyism, politics as usual, and so we’re saying dirty tricks Harry is up to his dirty tricks one more time and [...]
What’s A Voter To Do?
I honestly have no idea what will end up happening in November, but these numbers aren’t promising for anyone.
52% of the undecideds in the Senate race disapprove of President Obama to 35% who like the job he’s doing. They don’t think much of the Democrats in Congress either- only 26% have a like the job [...]
Crist Pulls Ahead In The Polls
I’ve been watching Florida very closely mainly because it’s one of the most prominent tests the Tea Party will face. And while a lot can happen until the election this can’t be good news for the “purge the moderates” group.
Gov. Charlie Crist has a large lead in the three-way race to the be the next [...]
Breaking: Sen. Evan Bayh to Retire
Here’s the Washington Post report.
Bayh was a DINO who never took a bold position on anything, unlike his father, Birch Bayh, who was an early opponent of the Vietnam War.
The money (literally & figuratively) quote:
“After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so by [...]
Polling: In Which We Find Republicans Still Have a Problem
It is fair to note that this poll shows a pretty toxic environment for both parties, but it seems clear that if you are a Congressional Dem, you have abit of an edge to build from. And if you are a Congressional repub, the massive media spin (and media lock) isn’t exactly getting you alot of traction. Not yet, at least.

How Biden Decision Screws Dems Statewide
“I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers.”-Blanche DuBois from Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”.
So have down-ballot candidates in every election. The top of the ticket drives out the voters, and those further down the ballot benefit or suffer based on who is motivated to vote in any given election cycle.
Now, riddle me this, [...]

Rethugs Float Newark Developer as Carney Opponent
Bill Stritzinger, whose main claim to fame appears to be trying to build 280 houses on the Newark Country Club site, has been seen making the rounds in Leg Hall, escorted by Monsignor Greg Lavelle, as a prelude to a candidacy against John Carney for the U. S. House of Reps seat. It makes perfect [...]

The Good News and the Bad News of Senator Dodd’s Retirement

Rep. Thornburg Also Retiring, According to Celia
This is also really big news from Celia Cohen. Rep. Pam Thornburg (R-Dover West) also announced her retirement at the same Caucus meeting where Bill Oberle announced his. She will become administrator of the Delaware Farm Bureau, a position from which she will no doubt lobby her former colleagues.
This is huge b/c Thornburg barely won [...]
Senator Dorgan (D-ND) Retiring
Via the WaPo — Senator Byron Dorgan announced today that he would be retiring at the end of his term:
North Dakota Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan will not run for re-election later this year, creating a major pickup opportunity for Republicans.
Has Delaware’s 2010 Biggest Political Blunder Already Taken Place?
Unless there’s an even bigger example of political and policy stupidity waiting in the wings, the answer is Yes, and it was announced in December of 2009.
This example of political and public policy malpractice, unless reversed, will likely lead to the Democrats losing control of the State House of Representatives. And it will be on merit. [...]
Is Sen. Venables An “Honored Guest” At A Fundraiser for Colin Bonini?
Now this pdf letter lacks and real official markings, but it is being circulated as an official invite. And now you are asking yourself why a Senator belonging to the Democratic caucus is an Honored Guest or a Sponsor or Host for a fundraiser for a Republican candidate for Treasurer, when his own party has two candidates running for the same position.

First Looks at Fred Cullis, DE-AL Candidate
From WDEL — Mr. Cullis is a Hockessin republican that no one has heard of apparently. From WDEL’s video — he was not happy with Castle’s vote on cap and trade, but he is making the “independent voice” noises which bears alot of watching.

The Next Elected Office Mike Protack Will Lose
This is an interesting article — one that details Protack’s long-time losing streak and continues the tradition of local Republican Party officials running away from him or trying not to acknowledge his existence. If this is the candidate that NCCo Chair Fleming ends up with that is not an especially auspicious start of this chairmanship.
