UPDATE: 9:45 pm

In the overheated "willing to believe the worst about everyone" atmosphere taking over Leg. Hall John Daniello made a sarcastic comment that was taken seriously.  

I’m hearing that Daniello (in spite of the fact that he hates blogs and bloggers) paid bloggers a backhanded compliment by sarcasticly commenting “if this thing doesn’t pass (HB177 ?), bloggers should have to register as lobbyists.” It was a kind of acknowledgment that blogs are having some impact.  
----------------------------
Mike Mathews a prominent Delaware blogger who is live blogging the closing days of the legislative term is reporting that Delaware Democratic Party Chairman, John Daniello, working to get "someone to introduce a bill to require bloggers to register as lobbyists"

He is blogging via his smart phone so things are a bit sketchy right now.  

I'll update as more info comes in.
