NJ's Ron Williams stirs the pot
This Ron Williams graph is burning up the blogosphere:
In the state Senate, the hottest rumors continue to swirl madly around Jim Vaughn of Clayton and President Pro Tem Thurman Adams of Bridgeville. Both have filed candidacies, but suspicions are they will pull out at the last minute. The latest, certifiably unsubstantiated scenario is Rep. Bruce Ennis jumping into Vaughn's spot for the Senate race (this one see-saws weekly), and Kent Recorder of Deeds Betty Lou McKenna running for Ennis' seat.
In Adams' 19th Senate District seat -- he and Vaughn reportedly have a joint retirement pact -- Sussex County Department of Elections chief Ken McDowell will run for the seat. His Republican opponent would be Rep. Joe Booth of Georgetown, the former mayor.
The use if the term "certifiably unsubstantiated scenario" was not enough to prevent Delawarewatch from jumping through the looking glass, spinning this "certifiably unsubstantiated scenario" into an affront to Democracy on the scale of Watergate.
On the other side, this "certifiably unsubstantiated scenario" was enough for First State Poltics to declare a Republican takeover of the DE Senate.
The Delawareliberal take? William's "filings" column ran a few sentences short.
UPDATE: The Delawatch watch. Dana seems to think that Rep. Joe Booth who supports Christianity as the official religion of the IRSD, is some kind of progressive Republican. Either that or Dana has some secret information.

Yeah. Not really what I said. Close, but not really. What I said was it would create an opportunity to pick up the seats we need to retake the Senate.
BTW, remember what happened 25 years ago when the GOP took over the House:
-They did away with the ability of committee chairs to hold a bill in committee.
-They passed the Financial Center Development Act, leading to economic prosperity for many years to come.
-They passed the balanced budget amendment, preventing future legislatures from spending us into New Jersey-style debt.
-They cut the tax rate, and overall saved the state from financial oblivion.
So, the GOP taking over a chamber isn't such a bad thing after all. Not that this is the forum to make that point...
