The Humility of Joe Biden
People have speculated if were possible for Barack Obama to pick a running mate more arrogant than “The One”. He just may have accomplished that.
The Arrogance of Joe Biden
It’s also worthy to note that Biden claimed that America needs leaders. Given the complete lack of experience of “The One”, I can only guess [...]
It’s Joe Biden …
… according to Delaware Liberal.
The buzz is all over the liberal Virginia blogosphere that it won’t be Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine. Using similar logic, hours beforehand, Delaware Liberal infers that the man to sit at the right hand of the Messiah is Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE).
I hope they’re right. We saw how Biden [...]
Charlie Copeland Is Responsible, So The Left Flips Out
Delaware Sen. Charles Copeland, the GOP candidate for Lt. Governor, was asked what his stance was on drilling off of Delaware’s coast. His response?
He would not “take it off the table”.
He wasn’t asked if he supported genocide, or clubbing baby seals. He as asked if he would support offshore drilling. In an [...]
Is John Carney Tanking on the Fundraising Trail?
Delaware Liberal speculates that Delaware Lt. Gov. John Carney is running low on cash in his quest to succeed Gov. Ruth Ann Minner. State Treasurer Jack Markell is buying plenty of airtime, but Carney appears silent.
While the Delaware Democrat Party continues to fund Carney’s campaign (something that still shocks me), Delaware Dems will have [...]
Delmarva Dealings Makes “Most Influential” Rankings in Delmarva and Three States
We normally don’t toot our own horn here at Delmarva Dealings. It’s just not what we do.
However, I was pleased to see that, for the first time, Delmarva Dealings was not only ranked No. 1 in Delmarva on BlogNetNews‘ Most Influential Political Blogs list, but also made the Top 20 Lists for Delaware, Maryland, [...]
Democrat Partisanship Causing Disruption in Delaware Court
The federal district court in Philadelphia is coming to the rescue of Delaware’s federal court. Why? Senate Democrats refuse to act on President Bush’s judicial nominees, including his nomination of Delaware US Attorney Colm Connolly to the federal bench in Wilmington.
Given that Delaware is allotted only four (4) federal judges, the number of [...]
Carney Getting Money Under the Table?
DelawarePolitics.net reports that the Delaware Democrat party is funneling party money to help Lt. Gov. John Carney in his primary fight with Delaware Treasurer Jack Markell. While David Anderson may applaud (hopefully tongue in cheek) the use of party money in an internecine battle, is this really in the best interest of Delawareans?
How would [...]
MSTA Continues to Fight Merit Pay
In what is essentially a precis of Sunday’s Baltimore Sun piece on merit pay for public school teachers and principals, today’s Daily Times glosses over the intense opposition of merit pay proposals by the Maryland State Teachers’ Association (MSTA).
Who could blame them. Short of molesting a child you can’t be fired. If your [...]

Gov. Minner - Looking Out for the Strong and Powerful
Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner has vetoed SB245, which would have set limits on the government snatching of private property. The bipartisan bill received only one negative vote between both houses of the Delaware legislature. However, it is rumored that the Democrat Senate leader will not permit an override vote.
G. A. Harrison publishes [...]
Teachers’ Union Attacks Delaware Charter Schools
It would be unfair to question the motivations of an individual teacher, but there appears to be no question as to where the Delaware State Education Association (DSEA) is coming from - destroy charter schools to put more money in the pockets of their members AND in the union’s coffers. The News-Journal outlines the [...]
Christine O’Donnell for Senate
David Anderson at DelawarePoliticsOnline.net has a great summary of why Delaware voters should get out and support Christine O’Donnell in her race against Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE). As if his record and rhetoric weren’t enough.

The following are comments I gave during the debate over the FY2009 Salisbury city budget at Monday night’s City Council meeting:

Copeland - “Status Quo is Last Thing Taxpayers Need”
Delaware Sen. Charlie Copeland (R-4) plainly states that Delawareans DO NOT need more of the status quo which has been delivered by 16 years of Democrat rule in Dover. In response to Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn’s announcement to run for Lt. Governor:
“For 16 years, the same politicians have had control of Delaware and the [...]
