Delaware Democrats are considering sending a CD of Alanis Morrisette's single "Isn't it Ironic" to state Republicans following their behavior Friday.

 The state GOP issued a press release Friday criticizing the Minner campaign for encouraging supporters to call in to radio station WGMD in Sussex County when Governor Minner was scheduled to be on. Callers and hosts on WGMD, which broadcasts Rush Limbaugh in the afternoons, have been highly critical of the Governor for three years, but the Governor has repeatedly appeared on the station in attempts to discuss state government issues.

 The hypocritical GOP blast against the Minner campaign comes two weeks after radio station WDEL in Wilmington revealed that a caller referring to himself as "John from Wilmington" was, in fact, state Republican Party communications director Ken Grant. On Feb. 19, Grant was attempting to question a member of Governor Minner's official staff during a discussion on "The Rick Jensen Show" of the Governor's economic development initiative. 

"Isn't it ironic that the Republicans stack radio phone lines with their own paid staff and then complain when a campaign lets its grassroots supporters know when its candidate is going to be on," Delaware Democratic Party Executive Director Nicole Majeski said. "Democrats are not going to allow repeated Republican ambushes on the radio to continue."
