BLUE & GOLD

Posted: July 11, 2008

Delaware politicians show their true colors. Who is feeling blue? Who is looking like gold? The Grapevine knows.

Joe Biden Democratic senator GOLD Although he never quite got around to endorsing Obama, he'd say yes to veep. Typical Joe -- he's ready to be the drum major before he joins the band
John Carney Democratic lt gov running for governor BLUE He takes credit for creating a wind farm. Big deal. Isn't that what politicians do for a living?
Jack Markell Democratic treasurer running for governor BLUE He debuts his campaign with a "57 in 57" tour. If governor doesn't work out, he's a lock for a sales job at Heinz ketchup
July Fourth   BLUE When did the parades become a subsidiary of Campaign Inc.? Bands and fire trucks are cool, but there are more politicians waving than U.S. flags
Pam Maier Republican state rep moving to Colorado GOLD She escapes from the land of Pike Creek to Pikes Peak, while leaving behind a mountain for the House GOP to climb to keep the majority
Ruth Ann Minner Democratic governor BLUE Her second term is nearly over. It was like a new reality show -- "American Idle"
