Weave's Opinions on Delaware Matters

My National and Local Endorsements and Follow Up Comments

The election of 96 is over. Read below for my original endorsements and my thoughts on the outcome of each race. No, not all of my endorsed candidates won, so I guess my endorsements were not taken that seriously. Very very shocking! :-)

For President / Vice President
President Clinton / Vice-President Gore
Original Endorsement My comments
A wee bit over 30 years ago, Bill Clinton "came of age." Around that same time, the incidences of unwed teen pregnancies started to go up. Four years ago, Clinton's extra-curricular activities were curtailed since he was always in the public's eye. Coincidently enough, for the first time in 30 years, teen pregnancies are going down.
Coincidence? I think not.
When you go into the voting booth this November, remember the innocent young girls in this country. Perhaps you have a daughter, or niece, or friend. Do you really want this man back out on the streets?
Do the right thing, re-elect Clinton so Slick Willie will be forced to control his slick willie for four more years.
Well, thanks to the American public, Clinton is "off of the street" for four more years. I think we can all breath more easily now. Can you imagine the chaos he would have caused at a ripe age of 50, with nothing to do? Like, what does someone do at that age after being President? Get a job handing out putters at the local mini-golf center and hitting on the high school girls working there?
But we still have to worry about him four years from now. But I think it'll work out by the end of his term, since he'll probably move straight from the oval office to a jail cell.

For U.S. Senator
Joe Biden
Original Endorsement My comments

Ray Clatworthy, Biden's Republican opponent, is quite upset that Joe is going to get a three million dollar pension. And why not, I am too. I wish I had a shot at becoming a U.S. Senator and getting that kind of pension. But I can't. But Clatworthy wants his piece of the pie. The way I look at it, if Biden is going to get that when he retires, we should screw him over and make him work six more years first. Might as well get our monies worth.
Hey, we certainly screwed over Biden, didn't we? Life is great, isn't it? Now the sucker has to work at least six more years before he can start collecting that big pension.
I guess Clatworthy is just going to have to stick to teaching Sunday School to a bunch of children. Perhaps that is the audience he works best with! Obviously the adults of this stage didn't quite get his message. (Hmm, I wonder what kind of pension Sunday School teachers get...)

For Governor
Janet Rzewnicki
Original Endorsement My comments
Tom Carper is the current governor of Delaware. In fact, in all of his political career, Carper has never once lost an election for an office that he pursued. Pretty strange, wouldn't you say? Well, there is a logical explanation for it. Carper is Satan's spawn. No earthly human has such luck. Therefore, I urge you to cast this demon out of the governor's mansion and vote for Rzewnicki for governor.
(By the way, the little tidbit that Rzewnicki happens to sign my payroll check has nothing to do with my opinion!)
Well, Carper really gave ole Rzewnicki a black eye, didn't he? But I'm certainly not surprised. Soon as I found out that the Christian Coalition endorsed satan's spawn for governor, I figured my endorsement would not be taken seriously.
Since Rzewnicki still has at least two years left as state treasurer, maybe she'll cut off his -- paycheck.

For Lietenant Governor
Sherman Miller
Original Endorsement My comments

I know Sherman Miller personally. He is an adjunct faculty member at Delaware Tech. And that's the reason why he should be elected as our next Lt. Governor. As it is now, when I drive down the road and look at those annoying election signs, I get the sense that I am really looking at a Delaware Tech staff directory. In the future, wasteful elections will be eliminated and all Delaware Tech staff will take turns serving in formerly elected positions.
Face it citizens of Delaware, Delaware Tech is slowly assimilating the state. I bet you have attended Delaware Tech in your life, or someone close to you has. We control your minds. We control what you learn. You will vote for Sherman Miller. You can't resist!
In Delaware, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor are elected separately. Despite this, Sherman's opponent kept herself close to the spawn's wings and it appears that his power exceeds the power of Delaware Tech to get their own elected.
So what will Sherman do now? Will he continue to teach at Delaware Tech? Will he run for Insurance Commissioner and end up being a defacto collection agent for the insurance companies? Will he ever return to the delaware.nerds newsgroup?

For Mayor of Wilmington
Brad Zuber
Original Endorsement My comments

Well, this is such a no-brainer that I can't even make a joke of it. Let's see, Wilmington residents rate crime overwhelmingly as their number one concern. So what does Sills do? He slashes the police force over the past four years and throws in a few token street cleaners with walkie talkies in center city as a consolation prize. OK, I know budgets are tough to balance, especially when money is tight. But hey, when you come right down and think about it, things like taxes, pot holes, and social services don't mean jack if someone puts a bullet in your head.
Crime is way up in Wilmington in the last four years. The F.O.P. get so upset they post a billboard warning visitors about the high crime rate. The local paper reveals that street gangs are multiplying faster than roaches. If Delaware was a company, Sills would get fired.
Well, Zuber lost. I remain, however, optomistic. I think the crime thing in Wilmington will work out. If current trends continue, MBNA will end up buying every city block, close down every city street, and forbid people who are not MBNA employees from entering the city. With security cameras on every street corner monitored by the crack MBNA security force, crime within Wilmington should be drastically reduced.

For State Senator, Eighth District
Dave Sokola
Original Endorsement My comments

Local elections are usually pretty boring. People don't give them much thought. So I am very appreciative of the contest these local politicians participate in when they try to demonstrate who can be the most annoying little @$%*&@. This always helps me determine who will get my vote. Yes, it's elections determined by road signs. The most annoying candidate this time around, and this should be a statewide award, is that Becnel guy. He has those ugly signs littering our roadways in a far greater abundance than any other candidate.
To make sure that I wasn't imagining it, I paid close attention to it this past weekend, and even drove through all three counties. New Castle County is by far the worse offender and Becnel takes the cake. Is it really necessary to place a campaign sign every 10 meters on Limestone Road? It's so bad, he has signs up outside his district.
Sure, Sokola has a few. But, like nature does, we must stamp out genetic mutations and make sure they don't reproduce. Don't vote for Becnel, otherwise he'll be back again when it's time for him to get re-elected with his current stash of signs and more!
Besides, Sokola's wife works for Delaware Tech!
This race's results made me the happiest. After I wrote my endorsement, Irwin Becnel's signs continued to multiply. I even found them out on State Route 141, which is numerous miles from his district. We're not just talking one sign here folks, but strings of signs placed just meters apart from each other. Thankfully, he lost. He not only lost, he lost by a wide margin. And this is a fairly Republican district too.
I saw Mr. Sokola at the polling place when I went to vote and mentioned my complete and utter disgust for Becnel's sign campaign. Sokola mentioned that he actually had people come up to him and tell him that they were voting for him just because of the sign issue. He then kind of grimmaced a bit and said softly "I wish they'd vote for me due to the issues but I'll take what I can get."
Hey Dave, don't sweat it. I think littering and creating eye sores along the state's highways is an important issue. Hopefully this will discourage others from doing the same two years from now.
Hey Irwin, here's a tip from Weave. If you try again in the future, buy a few ads on DART busses. It's like having a billboard that constantly moves around the county seeking new people to look at it. Ask Stephanie Hansen for details. It certainly seemed to work for her!
