No sooner do I read this….
Jason,
You know how I feel about Very Nice Republicans. They’re one party change away from getting my full support. We need more “honest (so-called) Republicans” in the Democratic party. Seriously, I’d be willing to forgive Lincoln Chafee for voting for Bill Frist for Senate Majority Leader if he apologized for it and joined the Democrats. And I’d forgive Old Newbold…
Than I click over to Delaware Watch and read this..
A well placed Democratic source has informed Delaware Watch that a high profile Delaware Republican is about to switch parties and re-register as a Democrat. My source says the switch is imminent and could have significant political implications to both the Republican and Democratic Parties…
UPDATE: My money is on Italo Carrieri-Russo. Additional rumors have come in that suggest he will be returning to the Republican Party for the St. Patricks Day “Loop” but will re-re-register as a Democrat by Memorial day.
Maybe not…Anyway – TAKE THE POLL
Here are your choices.
Dave Burris
John Atkins
John Still
Wayne Smith
Mike Castle

My guess is Chris Bullock. And it doesn’t matter that Dana already posted it. I’m still clairvoyant.
December 26, 2006 at 4:26 pm
My guess is state rep. Bill Oberle.
December 26, 2006 at 4:31 pm
Well it is Bullock, meaning it’s irrelevant because he’s not in office.
December 26, 2006 at 5:23 pm
The GOP can keep Atkins.
December 26, 2006 at 5:39 pm
Bullock has a very powerful pulpit, not irrelevant at all. Welcome to the party Rev. Bullock!
December 26, 2006 at 8:30 pm
Methinks that all those who said Bullock’s politics didn’t have a place in his ministry will change their tunes now.
December 26, 2006 at 9:01 pm
Methinks anonymoose is dead-on.
December 26, 2006 at 9:22 pm
What? It wasn’t Burris? There goes my one dollar.
December 26, 2006 at 9:58 pm
Methinks all those who claimed Bullock didn’t preach from the pulpit will change their tunes now too.
December 26, 2006 at 10:22 pm
Methinks who the hell cares that another blowhard black preacher is coozied up to the Democrats? It just makes it easier for him to justify abusing his ministry for crooked politicans.
December 26, 2006 at 11:05 pm
Aw, I’m sorry bitter sad angry Republicans. Better luck next time.

If anyone wants to actually improve the GOP, get over what happened here and move on to why it happened. It is incredibly easy to get hung up on the “what happened” and bitch, moan, and swing fists. It’s more difficult, but far more productive to move on and get into the “why it happened.”
Then you have the way-too-easy approach of the slandering wanna-be-racists who have no freaking clue that will never make an ounce of effort to understand jackshit.

Hey, X:
Only one caveat on what could be developing here…if this turns out to be a strategic-flip so Bullock can get elected in Wilmington, look back at Margaret Rose-Henry. That would be this scenario in reverse.
December 27, 2006 at 9:46 am
MOT,
For what office?
December 27, 2006 at 9:58 am
If you are asking about Bullock, I don’t know that he is currently seeking any office. I was just throwing a scenario out there. Plus, Nancy W put that thought out there on Dana’s thread about this, so it got me thinking. If you were referring back to Rose-Henry, she was cast aside as a D candidate and came back as a R candidate and won her current seat. Shortly thereafter, she switched back as a sitting Senator.

My guess is Atkins – you have to be a Democrat in this state to beat your wife and still get re-elected. Just ask Tom Carper, who put his wife into Christina Hospital for the night. I’ve been sitting on that particular nugget for a while, but I’ve learned it’s more commonly known than I’d thought.
December 27, 2006 at 4:00 pm
G, he already was re-elected.
December 27, 2006 at 5:37 pm
Considering there’s no such thing as “Christina Hospital,” I’m betting it’s less widely known than you thought, G Rex. And since the issue with Atkins isn’t wife beating, but abuse of power to cover up crimes, I guessing you’re just another jitbag Republican. Your party already tried to use the information against Carper once and it backfired badly on Janet Rzewnicki (I know that spelling is wrong, but I can never get it right). Unless you’re talking about another incident than the one dredged up from an ’82 divorce proceeding deposition.
December 27, 2006 at 5:40 pm
Oh, and if Christopher Bullock’s party affiliation was worth more than shit in a sock, that do-nothing African-American they ran against Harris McDowell might have run a competitive race. Bullock, like every black politician in Wilmington, is a legend mainly in his own mind.
December 27, 2006 at 5:52 pm
Sorry Al, you know I meant Christiana Hospital, and my info is from a hospital employee, not from Rzesnicki (my guess at the spelling) or anyone in the party. I haven’t been in Atkins’ corner on this thing either, but somebody else cut spades on Carper so I know it’s out there.
Thought you were still on vacation? Does this mean I can tune in tomorrow and not hear Laura Ingraham?
December 27, 2006 at 9:55 pm
Bullock, like every black politician in Wilmington, is a legend mainly in his own mind.
Gee, Al, how do you really feel?
December 27, 2006 at 10:05 pm
Oh, Al, and then we had to deal with this joker.
