Frank Kratovil Panders In Ocean City

Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil was in Ocean City Thurday appearing before a group of federal retirees. Unable to decide whether he was a smaller, whiter version of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, Kratovil seems to going for both.
He told the group he’s running as an independent thinker, one tired of “politics as usual” [...]


An Apology to Our Readers - The Blue Screen of Death Has Struck

Everyday we strive to put up content worth reading for those of you who take time out of your busy day to see what we have to say here at Delmarva Dealings. Friday morning, just as I was putting up a couple of morning posts, I suffered a fatal computer crash in my office.
While [...]


The Choice Is Really Pretty Simple

He may be cute, articulate, and charismatic but the ONE obviously isn’t the one for President.

With all that is going on in the world today, do we really want someone in the White House who ADMITS that he needs on the job training?

Goldwater Redux …

… and Barack Obama’s Total Lack of Character.
Human Events editor Jed Babbin wrote an excellent column this week regarding a key strategy being employed by Barack Obama and his handlers. Basically, the Dems want to paint John McCain with the same brush that LBJ and his lefty acolytes painted Sen. Barry Goldwater back in [...]


Congratulations Sen. Obama

John McCain is not only a hero, leader, and true public servant - he’s also a gentleman:

I’m sure that his opponent will be as gracious… now that someone else came up with the idea (it didn’t involve spending taxpayers’ money).

Obama - How Goes the South?

The sacred south remains an important factor in national elections. How will Barack Obama fair?
Probably not very well. Southerners, as a rule, love and respect the military. We love football and NASCAR. Guns are a way of life (whether we hunt or not), not something we do on weekends. We [...]


Why Won’t Mark Warner Debate Jim Gilmore?

Mark Warner must not be too proud of the things he, and the Democrat party, stand for. Why then has Warner not only refused to take part in the traditional League of Women Voters debate, but he has canceled a scheduled debate before federal retirees in Hampton?
Don’t Virginians have the right to see the [...]


Steele for VP?

Andrew Langer, Eastern Shore resident and president of the Institute for Liberty, makes a persuasive argument for John McCain selecting former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele as the GOP vice-presidential nominee. The political argument is quite compelling for Pennsylvania and other rust-belt states.
I would argue that the experience argument, that will be used heavily [...]


McAuliffe for Governor - 2009?

Former DNC Chair and staunch Clinton man Terry McAuliffe is leaving open the door for a possible gubernatorial run in 2009. Is this part of a new Clinton strategy - power through surrogates?

The Bloom Is Off of the O’Malley Rose

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was once a rising young star among the liberal elite. That no longer appears to be the case.
Accustomed to being treated like left-wing royalty, O’Malley has no real part to play in this week’s Democrat National Convention. While Marylanders Barbara Mikulski, Steny Hoyer, Chris Van Hollen and Elijah Cummings [...]


Jim Gilmore Supports Freedom …

…Mark Warner wants to strip workers of the secret ballot.
Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner has refused to publicly affirm his support of the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act”. Fortunately for Virginians, Warner was caught on video affirming his support for a bill which would strip workers of their current right to have a secret [...]


Kratovil Shows Real Talent …

… For Talking Out of Both Sides of Mouth
Yesterday, we showed you the new TV commercial unveiled by Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil. Today a few tidbits were brought to our attention that you may find interesting. Blue Dog Frank promises to:

Cut Taxes - Just a few months ago, Frank Kratovil called cutting [...]


Romney Slams Obama-Biden in Apparent Audition

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was leading the pro-McCain forces in Denver Tuesday in what appeared to many to be an audition for the number 2 spot on a McCain ticket. Romney drove home the fact that Obama’s “qualifications” for the White House stem more from celebrity than leadership or experience.
I admire Romney’s drive [...]


Kratovil Promises …

… But Could He Deliver?
Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil launched his latest TV commercial last night.  It’s chock full of promises.  The only question is, could Blue Dog Frank deliver IF he were elected?

End our dependence on foreign oil?  How Frank?  You’re opposed to offshore drilling, along with your masters - Nancy Pelosi and Barack [...]


Mark Warner Is In Good Company

Tonight, when former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner delivers the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention he’ll be in great company:
