DEwind: The Week That Was November 17th

This past week has been a little slow on the Delaware news as blogged by Delaware bloggers. We’ve had the stories that guessed who would suceed Biden as Senator, even a plea for Beau not to to Iraq and another to say he should and Beau saying he’s not interested in his dad’s seat.
Gov.-Elect Markell is [...]

Biggest (Senate) Upset Watch

The biggest Senate upset of election night will be….drum roll…..
John Mackenzie knocking off Liane Sorenson in the 6th Senate District. Senate seats hardly ever change hands in elections, but depend on the occupant to die or retire. This district has been gerrymandered out from under Sorenson though and with the Obama Blue wave [...]

Katz Shows Clatworthy How It Is Done

Okay, this is really a continuation of Round 2, but Community News reporter Jesse Chadderdon did a great job reporting the Hockessin debate between Dr. Mike Katz and John Clatworthy.
“I have to say this has been a very uncomfortable few weeks,” Katz said, holding up mailings sent out by the Clatworthy camp he called unfair. [...]

Clatworthy Comes A Calling

I remember like it was yesterday when Dave Burris said that John Clatworthy could be using FLS Connect for something other than Robo Calls. Four days later my phone rings from the Republican State Committee of Delaware (302-651-0260) with a John Clatworthy robo call.
The robo call was from “your State Representative Deborah Hudson” though this might come [...]

The Circadian Clatworthy Post

Tommywonk wrote yesterday about Clatworthy’s negative campaigning:
I don’t think I’m too sensitive when it comes to rugged campaigning. But while I’m well versed in the none-too-gentle art of city politics, I don’t remember learning that you can just make stuff up. In the campaign for the 4th Senate district, Republican John Clatworthy seems comfortable doing [...]

The Good Thing About Clatworthy

His “tax cuts” = “growth” lit allows me to put up pictures of “Tryckle” the magical GOP unicorn again.

Real Questions For Clatworthy

- Do you believe there should be religious litmus tests for elected office?
- Do you believe, as John Atkins does, that Jesus should be the official deity of the Indian River School District?

Mr. Clatworthy Meets Mr. Roboto

While McCain’s Campaign draws bipartisan fire for his use of FLS Connect’s robocalls, Delawareans might find it interesting that we have a State Senate candidate how has contracted out to FLS Connect. You guessed it, John Clatworthy.
Clatworthy has paid FLS Connect $2,892.25 on July 31st and $1,771.55 on September 5th.
Just saying.

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 [...]
