Um...
Well, there's...
I guess there was that one guy from Delaware, who's famous for...
The most popular vacation destination in Delaware is, uhhh...
Where Pennsylvania gave us the Philly cheesesteak and Illinois has Chicago deep-dish pizza, Delaware's culinary heritage is notable for...
The biggest professional sports team there is...
Yeah.
Honestly, what does anyone even know about Delaware? I mean, nobody in my family has ever been there. I can't recall any of my friends or even casual acquaintances mentioning that they had ever set foot in the state. I don't know that I've ever seen images of the place on TV or in any form of print media (I would challenge you to identify the skyline or layout of any Delaware city or town, but it would likely be a fruitless endeavor). And I can honestly say that I've never met anybody who had actually ever lived there.
Hell, on the 2008 campaign trail, Joe Biden—who supposedly represented Delaware in the United States Senate for years and years—couldn't stop talking about how he was actually from Scranton, which is in another state entirely.
My conclusion? The most interesting thing about Delaware is that it does not really exist.

Delaware, being so close to DC likes to keep a low profile, and can you blame them?
Delaware is where New Jersey dumps their garbage.

This is purely a political philisophical argument and yet we are going at eachother like the crazy vampire canibals in blade 2.
A Quirky goofy conservative with little background (Amazaed David Brooks and Heather MacDonald didn't endorse someone with next to no resume' other than that she expresses being conservative) running against an unreliable republican in a state that I THINK I know APPROXIMATELY where it is geographically to replace someone who's known for a level of linguistic lunacy that makes Wickedpinto look sane All while a bunch of people who have a history of picking fights and talking shit, are picking fights and talking shit, during a primary that noone really cares about in a state that most of us barely knows exists.
The most bizzarre political drama I've seen as of yet.
Next there will be a big fight about who will be the shadow representative from guam.

Ha! From Wiki:
"Delaware Punch is named for the Delaware grape from which its flavor is derived. The grape is native to Delaware County, Ohio, and the drink therefore has no affiliation with the state of Delaware."

I am inclined to agree with you, regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of your argument.
I did good, and that's all that really matters. YAY ME!!!

FrnakJ's 'Harvey' personality has the scoop.
I did not know this:
Delaware shares a semi-circular border with Pennsylvania, which marks the perimeter of the area guarded by the official state pit bull that's chained up in Wilmington.

my brother has lived in DE for a couple of years. Mostly works in Philly now, lives outside of Wilmington. I have some other family there on my Dad's side. And when we were kids, the family went to Rhehoboth beach. Not sure if it was the gay destination back then that I now understand it to be, but I don't think I would have been old enough at the time to know what that was all about anyway.
And of course, in PA, we have the "Delaware loophole", where what would naturally be PA corporations are domiciled in DE to avoid our absurd tax structure.
Funny, DE is very Democrat, yet basically owes its existence to Republican-style taxation and lax corporate regulation.

FrnakJ brings Teh Funny.
So while O’Donnell could be a nut, you can’t say she’s too inexperienced to be a Senator. There’s no such thing. For pete’s sake, Obama almost did that job.

Notable for the fact that no pilot of note from Delaware has died a heroic enough death to warrant naming the only AFB in the state after him/her (yet. Keep trying, Blue Hens who suck at powered flight!).
As a C-5 pilot (based at the lovely Travis AFB, CA--named after Gen Travis, who crashed a B-29 with a nuke onboard in the early 50's) I've had the misfortune of staying at Dover many, many times.
It's the only town I've heard of where the local Hooter's had to close down because they couldn't find enough hot waitresses. True story.

some things about Delaware
Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco played at U of D ("The Fighting Blue Hens!" )
There are some nice beaches like Bethany and Rehoboth . Go to Rehoboth if you're gay.
Prime Hook NWR is nice.
The state bird is a chicken.
And Biden is their permanent stain.
