1. I don't get why it gets picked on! I guess they got sick if picking on
southern states.

12. I see your point.
Instead, why don't we focus and pick on one Delaware county at a time?

23. I swear the reason that Mike Castle wins as our US Representative
is because people think it's neato to live in New Castle County and vote for Mike Castle.

Other than that - this state is solid blue. At least Mike Castle is pretty progressive for a republican

24. You should start a petition drive to change the county name
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 01:20 PM by GoneOffShore
to Essex. See if Castle then changes his name to Essex.

Rep Mike Castle Essex or Essex Castle.

27. It's got a ring to it.
Delaware's three counties are LynneSin, Kent, Sussex.

It rolls off the tongue. Kids could memorize that just as easily as New Castle, Kent, Sussex.

17. I don't pick on Delaware
I'm was born there and I buy most of my booze there. Cheaper than Jersey, less tax and better selection. And it's only 25 minutes away, if 95 isn't all blocked up. And when it is blocked it's Pennsylvania's fault.

Of course, I live in Philadelphia now. Couldn't wait to leave. But that had more to do with my family than the place itself.
And Wilmington is revitalizing although it's still small towny.

28. I can't pick on Delaware.
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 01:56 PM by WritingIsMyReligion
Maine, while larger, is something like 75% (at least) forest and backwoods-ness, and there are plenty of old mill towns and whatever. And our turnpike can be pretty damn sucky.

But we gots da blueness at the coast!!!

29. Well, if you pick on other places, folks get really really offended and threaten to leave DU
and wonder why Democrats would hate their state and all that.

People pick on Delaware because of one annoying toll booth........made irrelevant by EZPass

He's no rock star, but he has a solid understanding of all the issues and workings of the government and foreign policy matters.

33. I'm supporting him because he's a home state guy but I have no grand illusions
it's an uphill battle. But it's neat to support a presidental candidate who has his main office in your hometown. How often will that happen in a lifetime?

39. Well, I lived in MA in 1988 when Dukakis was governor...
...but I did not live in Boston.

Perhaps OH governor Strickland will run someday. Even if he does, I doubt his HQ will be in this red neck county.

34. No problem! I think all of the toll booth jokes have been told
for both states. Anyhow the states are pretty damn similar, except for the size. Delaware also does not have frederick and hagerstown :scared: .

45. Picking on a state is patently ridiculous
It's much better to pick on an individual city, preferably Chicago.
