DEwind: The Week That Was October 6th
Watch Delaware Liberal’s last part of our interview with Delaware’s next governor, Jack Markell. Also, we interview Democratic candidate for Insurance Commissioner, Karen Weldin Stewart.
Delawonk points out that Delaware ranks a dismal 46 out of the 50 states on its campaign finance disclosure laws. This needs to be addressed by our next governor prior to [...]

DEwind: The Week That Was September 22nd

Comment Rescue: The Political Place of Statewide Blogs?
Steve Newton writes in the Beating Castle Someday thread:
First, what is the proper use of the blogosphere in statewide politics. Dean, Ron Paul, Obama, and even Hillary made successful use of the blogs, primarily to sign up supporters and raise funds on a nationwide scale. But when you shrink the scale to DE I [...]
The Week That Was
The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that [...]

DelawareWatch Goes Moderate
Dana Garrett has apparently been bothered by a number of comments on his blog lately. As a result, he has started moderating comments. I guess you’ll have to somewhere else if you want to challenge Dana’s views on the world.
We had an issue a few weeks ago where a single poster was doing bad things [...]
The Burris Reveal
Dave Burris posted the rest of the story on the subpoena to Mike Matthews for the source of the Bill Lee photo. The short answer is that there was a threatening note sent to Bill Lee’s family that photos like this were going to start coming out starting this week. Here’s the quick analysis:
There doesn’t [...]

UPDATED: Congrats Tommywonk!
Tommywonk has been announced as the representative of the Delaware Blogosphere to the Democratic National Convention. The rest of us at DelawareLiberal.net will be spending the rest of the day crying in our beers.
Editor’s Note: This comment from a kos diarists bears repeating, because it ties Tommywonk’s trip to Denver to Truth Teller’s concern [...]
Has Dave Burris Lost It?
Go check out Down With Absolutes. Apparently Dave Burris has demanded Mike’s source for a photo that he posted last week of a possibly intoxicated Bill Lee in a Dewey Beach watering house. Apparently Dave has threatened that a subpoena will be coming Mike’s way if he doesn’t give it up soon.
So what [...]
Fundraising Drive – Autism Society of Delaware
Greetings Delaware Blogosphere! We have been asked by a friend of the blog to put up a widget to support a fund-raising walk for the Autism Society of Delaware. Please notice the widget on the right and consider clicking on the “Donate” button.
Many people don’t know that Delaware is a hotbed of autism research and [...]
Now this is biased reporting!
DOVER — Senate Republicans, frustrated by what they see as foot-dragging on their package of bills to force state agencies to open their finances — and their checkbooks — to public scrutiny, are trying to do an end run around the Senate and its desk-drawer veto.
How’s that for an opening paragraph? It’s all the [...]
Around The Horn Friday: Last of the Red-Hot Posters
I’d like to start this post with an announcement, of sorts. This will be the last Around the Horn Friday that will be in this exact format. I started doing ATHF over a year ago when Jason took his leave of this place for a few months. It is taxing and rewarding [...]

Around The Horn Friday: The Open Source Edition
To be real honest, Around the Horn is painful sometimes. I enjoy it because it expands my mind and view, but it really does take some time. Usually, I sit in front of the TV on a Thursday night surfing around to pick out the posts that I think are interesting, or related and preferably [...]

Around The Horn Friday: Super-Duper Friday Edition
I don’t know about you, but super duper Tuesday is one of the dumbest names of an event in the history of events. Now I really hate the MSM. With the primary looming, people are weighing in left and right. On the left, the Obama camp is so happy that Tommywonk has [...]

UPDATED: Around The Horn Friday: Copeland, Shock the World Edition
Windpower has again dominated the week in the Delaware blogosphere. [...and someone who totally kicked ass on that issue was Maria Evans at WGMD who put Charlie "who me?" Copeland in a tough spot.] The legislature is in session and that means that there is always movement, although some is hidden. The [...]

Around The Horn Friday: The OOGA, OOGA Edition
Sorry that I haven’t done an Around the Horn for a while. Last week I was too tired because of staying up late watching Iowa on Thursday night. This week has been one of the best for bloggers in a long time. I think the highlight was the amazing opening day of [...]

The Protack Express is a Train Wreck
Oh my. I cannot believe the kind of crap that Protack gets himself into. Now it’s the issue of the unpaid staff from his last campaign. This comes after a foiled astroturfing of the local blogosphere and the failure to pay his consultants for the last campaign.
The details are really starting to crystallize over at [...]
Kilroy Calls It Quits
Local blogger Kilroy (aka John Allison) has decided that he can’t fight the system alone. He has decided to cease his involvement in all Red Clay affairs and resigning his post in the Republican party. I cannot figure out if that means he’s going to stop blogging. If he does, it will halve the number [...]

Around the Horn Friday: What Election? Edition
Man, I can’t believe that we are at another special election already. I am getting special election fatigue. And then we have the primaries and caucuses. Damn, I just want to get through Christmas.
Kavips hits the issue in the wonderful Around the Horn competitor, Outside the Perimeter. Speaking of Kavips, I [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Mmmmm, Uterus Edition
Please let me thank donviti for a tour de force two weeks ago. I, like most of you laughed my ass off. Good show, my friend.
Speaking of things that made me laugh, the whole Tommy Little/Frank Sims/IPOD debacle sank even deeper into the gutter last weekend with aTommy Little interview on WGMD. You gotta check [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Escheat Shuffle Edition
I have to say that I am pretty saddened by the whole Lofink story. I remember when Vince won his first election, because one of his sons was a student of mine. I hope that the whole thing works out as fairly as possible. I was pretty happy that with just a few exceptions, the [...]

Action’s speak louder than words
They have to over at First state politics too be totally honest with ya. When they aren’t turning off the comments On a ridiculous 9/11 commemorative post by their own version of a blathering idiot
They are accusing criminal behavior and allowing no one to comment or defend themselves or point out the obvious staginess of the [...]
Around the Horn Friday (err…Saturday): Freddie to the Rescue Edition
Well this week we saw another Republican joker enter the fray. At least he did it on Leno, where jokes are acceptable. Turns out his given name is really Freddie. I Freddie Thompson do solemnly swear… Nice. Nancy and Dana both call him out. Frank Knotts can’t be happier.
On the local scene [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Outside the Perimeter Edition
The following is a guest post from a fellow blogger that wishes to remain nameless (although if you are paying attention, I bet you can figure it out). I am deeply appreciative for the break and happy with the results.
No one can take the place of Around the Horn. It is a [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Cranky Republicans Edition
This was a big week on the other side of the aisle. We thought the race for the Democratic Gubernatorial candidacy was going to be interesting. The Republicans are doing one better. I’ll not get too deep into it, but make yourself a nice drink and wear comfortable clothes when you go over to FSP [...]
