The Best and Worst of Gov. Jack Markell
It was the Best of Jack. It was the Worst of Jack.
All encompassed in the same week.
The Best of Jack, which should be studied by President Obama, every Democratic governor, and all D legislators, was his calling-out of all the undistinguished Sussex County Rethugs who have been trying to score political points off the travails [...]
Best Wishes to Joe Rogalsky
We at Delaware Liberal received official word last night that Joe Rogalsky will be leaving as Gov. Markell’s press secretary to reconnect with his family and then to take on other challenges. Official in that it came from Joe Rogalsky. I, for one, will miss him.

Congratulations All Around for Fisker
The press conference/Pep rally for the announcement that the Boxwood Rd. auto plant has just concluded. We will now refer to the plant as the Fisker plant. I am still in a state of shock. 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.
