Delano's Den: October 2007

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 11, 2007. DeSantis Campaign Ads Previewed. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. If you missed my story last night on KDKA-TV, feel free to click http:/ kdka.com/video/? Id=32817@kdka.dayport.com to see a sneak preview of Mark DeSantis' campaign ads. DeSantis allowed me to watch and listen to several of his campaign ads, as long as I didn't air the entire ads in advance of their publication. That was fair, since in a 90-second TV story I couldn't post the entire ad anyway. Bottom line. D...

Delano's Den: September 2007

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Six Weeks to Go. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. If readers see anything unusual or interesting on the campaign trail, please do email me. Back and forth press conferences get pretty boring! And stay alert. If the campaign for mayor, so far, has put you to sleep, I suspect the rhetoric will only get hotter in the weeks remaining. Let's hope so! Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Seven Weeks to Go. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. Given the irrelevance of Pennsylvania in the primar...

Delano's Den: December 2007

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 7, 2007. Cavorting with the PA Society. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. Now I admit I have attended some of those dinners (and other related events) over the years - and, yes, it's great fun - but there is something a little peculiar about Pennsylvania politicians and business leaders leaving the commonwealth in order to "make contacts" and "enjoy" each other's company. This weekend's gathering is much more ecumenical, as it has been for decades, with Democrats just as visible as Republ...

Delano's Den: November 2007

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 5, 2007. Is the Election Over or Just Beginning? Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. Election Day 2007 may prove to be anti-climatic, particularly since almost everyone thinks Luke Ravenstahl. Will win election to serve out the term of the late Mayor Bob O'Connor. As mayor of Pittsburgh. DeSantis needs two things to happen: traditional Democrats (many socially conservative) need to reject Luke by either voting for Mark or skipping this race and Republicans (nearly 25,000 of them) need to sh...

Saturday, March 22, 2008. Four Weeks to Go. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. As “Week Four” begins in Pennsylvania – the four week countdown to Primary Election Day - most analysts seem to think that only an incredible gaffe by Hillary Clinton.

Delano's Den: Pennsylvania Delivers

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2008/11/pennsylvania-delivers.html

Thursday, November 6, 2008. Dear Politically Savvy Friend,. In the end, he made it seem so easy. Barack Hussein Obama. Yes, a man with an Arab or Muslim middle name - won the presidency of the United States by more than 7.5 million popular votes and an Electoral College landslide, or what certainly looks like a landslide after President Bush's narrow wins in 2000 and 2004. President-elect Obama did it the old-fashioned way - issues, shoe leather, volunteers, and, yes, lots of money! Simply put, he clobbe...

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 30, 2007. When Presidents-to-Be Come to Town. Dear Politically Savvy Friend,. This week I met former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani when he campaigned in Pittsburgh’s Strip District (for out-of-towners, that’s a funky old-fashioned market place, not what the name suggests), and I must admit I was impressed with the guy. You can watch what we capture of the presidential candidates by looking through the “Recent News Stories” link on this page. Saturday, June 16, 2007. Fifteen miles north of t...

Delano's Den: January 2008

http://delanosden.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Dear Politically Savvy Friends,. The Race for the White House:. My point is not to predict the winner but to suggest that it's not a done deal for the Democrats by any stretch. This election is just getting started. The Republican Battle Goes On and On and On:. The Democratic Battle Gets Closer:. Still, after Super Duper Tuesday, it's very unlikely that either Clinton or Obama will have a majority of the delegate votes. Other big states like Virginia, Ohio, and Texas will v...
