Fiskered Out
Will Fisker ever build a single car in Delaware? If I were a betting man, I’d put my money into the Powerball before I plunked down speculative dollars on the Fisker Atlantic.
Uninspiring GOP candidates drive the party into statewide obscurity
State GOP chairman John Sigler said, “We have a lot of work to do but we’ve accomplished an awful lot.” What exactly did they accomplish, and how long before they win back the trust of big donors in the party still miffed about Christine O’Donnell?
Big Idea Wednesday: Monster Mile Per Gallon
Twice a year, Dover Downs is the home of NASCAR races. As a guy that owns two hybrids and tries to be a good environmental citizen, I am appalled by the senseless waste of tires, oil, gas that goes on through the various qualifiers and races that go on throughout the weekend. But I get […]

It was a tour de force of Delaware politicos. Huge kudos are in order for Governor Markell for his attention to this issue and for putting together this event. Getting Joe Biden was the perfect touch.
Official Fisker Announcement Today
As many of you know Vice President Joe Biden and Gov. Jack Markell will be at the Boxwood plant this morning to announce the Fisker deal.
