OMG, this is not satire but I had to check (re: whacked out repub for running for congress in DE)

Because it's alcohol related, I even gave the benefit of the doubt that it had something to do with the Kavanaugh and the jerk was just trying to make a point.

Nope! It's real, and it's a mainstream DE news station, and there are people in the comments saying that being an alcoholic and running for public office shouldn't be of concern to the people this person would represent. This guy is an ass. I guess him winning the repub primary in DE lets us know what scuzzballs repubs can be - even at the state level. If he were to win (which I don't think he will), he would replace Lisa Blunt Rochester in Congress.

1. Yeah, Scott's a real treat

You'll find his hand-painted wooden signs nailed to trees along route 273 and route 1.

It's not clear if it is a campaign or a cry for help.

2. I'm thinking a cry for help, but cannot think of how he won the primary.

I mean "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell was a more sane primary choice than this guy. I saw one of his 'nailed to the tree' collection of letters as I was heading to New Castle the other night. I think he (or whomever nailed them to the tree) forgot the "L". It read "Waker" ----

Hmmmm, I would have given my eyetooth for an "N"

3. There is a theory that GOP voters thought he was the guy from Wisconsin
