Finally!


The word "finally" is such pregnant term. One meaning--finally this milquetoast campaign has a mean, snide cagey ol' bastard. Just what the doctor ordered! But answer me this Joe--your state is small as hell, yet it takes 2 hours just to get through I-95 to the Delaware Memorial Bridge (unless you work for Dupont or a rapacious credit card company, why the hell would you actually get off the highway unless it's at that huge "pee and eat" rest stop?). Oh, and why must we suffer one lane highways and loitering behind puttering chicken trucks and rusted pickups to get to the damn beach? Joe, as much $ as I've pumped into your lilliput of a state in Bethany (and then visits from our house up to Rehobeth) through property taxes, purchases, etc. you'd think you'd have that figured out? On the flip, please put the brakes on the developers before they pave every inch of green and dunes. I'm just sayin'...it's quid pro quo for my vote...and I'm a lot less petty than the average American voter, trust me, Joe.
