I have to hand it to what DelDem at the Fiberal calls the 62-district strategy (for Delaware). While they did not acheive their ultimate success (yet*) of putting a name on every available office for the 2008 election, they sure the heck had good results.

The question facing voters in the 35th is whether or not notoriety trumps accomplishment. Dave Wilson is a successful businessman and public servant. Col. Chaffinch also has some accomplishments, but is best known for some of the most spectacular embarrassments in this administration. He has yet to show that he has learned the lessons from the past.

I wrote a post on another blog entitled “I heart Huckabee” which gave detailed resources showing the strength of Mike Huckabee as a person and a candidate. The title played off the movie.

One would expect there to be excitement for the elections with Senator Obama’s historic run. The Kent County Democrats had a booth as usual. Markell and Carney each had their […]

There are a lot of primaries on tap this year for the Democratic Party of Delaware. Take a look at the latest filed candidates list provided by the Office of the State Commisioner of Elections.
