John Carney Chosen For DCCC’s Red To Blue Program
Former Lt. Gov John Carney has been chosen in the first group of “Red to Blue” candidates by the DCCC. This is good news for John Carney, because that means his race is being placed in high priority by the Democratic party.
Chairman Van Hollen joined DCCC Vice Chair Bruce Braley (IA) and Red to [...]
Memo to Michele Rollins: Bring It On!
Rethugs are virtually wetting themselves (except for the octogenarian Vicmead Hunt denizens, who really ARE wetting themselves) over the possible entrance of Michele Rollins into Delaware’s US House race.
Michele Rollins earned her entree into Greenville gigagazilionaire circles the old-fashioned way: She married into it. A dewy-eyed 1963 beauty queen (the dew formed in the shape [...]
Psst! Your Shallow Bench is Showing
Potential Republican Congressional candidate, Anthony Wedo dropped out of the race Friday. I believe that this leaves only Fred Cullis, the guy who had a half dozen people (mostly family and volunteers) at his announcement. They really have no one.
I asked Charlie Copeland if he was running and he was pretty clear that he wasn’t, [...]
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 [...]

Republicans Score Political Points, Kill Jobs
This just in from the News Journal, an important partner for the wind turbine tower construction project has pulled out of a partnership with Delawind. You may remember that Delawind was attacked by the right-wing here in Delaware because one of their principles is John Carney. Delawind had applied for financing from the state to [...]

PPP: Carney Win Almost Guaranteed
While PPP polled the Delaware U.S. Senate race, they also polled the open U.S. House seat. Carney holds a commanding lead, and has somewhat low name recognition:
Former Lieutenant Governor John Carney leads announced Republican candidate Fred Cullis by an overwhelming 47-24 margin and holds a solid 44-32 lead against better known potential Republican candidate [...]
wRong Willams, Clue — Clue, wRong Williams
Update: The online News Journal dropped the following line from Williams’ column:
And then, if some quirk of nature would defy all the universe and he would beat Carney, he would face former lieutenant governor, two-term governor and eight-term congressman Mike Castle.
Also, I could not find a correction anywhere on the site. Now, I need to [...]
Down With Tyranny Evaluates John Carney
…with help from Progressive Democrats of Delaware and Delaware Liberal contributors. The writer here also runs the Blue Progressive PAC and was looking for some input from the locals on John Carney’s progressive cred. You can see the full blog post over at Down With Tyranny here. The key evaluation comes from Rebecca, I think:

Stoopid Rethug Tricks: Blasting Carney on Day Castle Enters Race
Perhaps they’re playing three-dimensional chess at a level that only dogs can hear. But does this make any sense to you? John Carney, the guy who is running for the seat that Castle is leaving, gets blasted by some junior league RNC ‘wordsmith’ on what should be Mike Castle’s day:
Andy Seré, spokesman for the National Republican [...]

I love teh social media. Yesterday I received an email on my Facebook from the Fan of John Carney for Congress page. The gist of the email (which is below the fold) was to ask John Carney supporters to donate $53 dollars to his campaign for congress at John Carney for Congress. Why $53? Because [...]

Castle Sees Writing On The Wall
One of the Washington Post articles on Obama’s 100 days focuses on Delaware Congressman Mike Castle and his friend, Republican Michigan Congressman Fred Upton and their vote against Obama’s budget in January.
The money shot isn’t until the last two paragraphs when Castle is quoted as saying:
I’m not giving the Republicans a lot of credit for [...]
Breaking: John Carney To Run For House Seat
Granted, it is only breaking news if Delawaregrapevine.com is your only source for political news.
I guess Celia was feeling burned by not cottoning on to the fact that Carney was running when she made her triumphant return to blogging on April 23rd.
Anyway, it is official now. Carney is running. Everyone who has been wondering [...]
Thursday’s Open Thread
Tea Parties, John Carney running for Congress, and Charlie Copeland launches another website, oh my! BTW, if you haven’t checked out DV’s video montage of Wilmington’s tea parties you’ve missed some great reporting. (I’ve linked to one, but there’s plenty more!)
‘Bulo gives us another great Republican breakdown, while DelawareDem issues a Thank You and Jason [...]
Poll: Who will John Carney Defeat to become Delaware’s Next Congressman?
Yesterday’s events have convinced me that perenial candidate Mike Protack will be gunning to take out Mike Castle in a primary.
Will he pull it off? Of course not. The only way Protack gets on a ballot is if Castle and everyone else quits.
Nevertheless – the question of who will face Carney in the [...]
Early National Press Reaction to Carney’s Announcement
After this morning’s excitement of John Carney’s official press announcement of his campaign to unseat Mike Castle in Congress, I thought it might be interesting to see how the political media is reporting on this:
CQ Politics Blog provides some good detail and background (along with a decent picture of Carney!):
Carney’s candidacy will be welcomed by [...]
UPDATED: John Carney Should be running for Congress now…today…
Mike Castle has given him plenty of ammunition – but it is still going to take a lot of money and ground game to defeat this long serving incumbent.
Carney gains nothing by staying on the sidelines.
UPDATE: A commenter asks, “Why Carney, why not Scott Spencer?”
See the graph below. I put Carney slightly below, [...]

With the first set of polling numbers in, I’m ready to call these two election contests.
US Senate
Beau Biden vs. Christine O’Donnell
Biden will win in a walk and it will not make the front page. All the intrigue will occur prior to the ballot being set. On the Republican side there will be talk [...]
Breaking: Delaware Senate & House Match-Ups To Be Polled By “Public Policy Polling”
Little Delaware will get some national attention when North Carolina based, Public Policy Polling begins polling in Delaware to determine how Beau Biden fares against Mike Castle in order to see if there’s any chance Democrats don’t keep Biden Sr’s Senate seat in 2010.
They will also be polling to see how John Carney might do [...]
Carney Outside Govt….For Now
WNJ reports:
Lt. Gov. John Carney will take a position in the private sector when he leaves office on Jan. 20, after he said he turned down an offer to serve as the state’s treasurer.

Carney Setting Up To Run For Congress
It looks like the race to fill Castle’s open seat in 2010 just got it’s first campaigner.
Lt. Gov. John Carney has decided “beyond a doubt” that he’s “running for a federal office in 2010,” according to a source close to his campaign operation. He has a couple of private sector job offers that will [...]
