Castle and Biden to Play Chicken?
Senate Guru has a nice post up about some of the potential gamesmanship between Beau Biden and Michael Castle in the next month or so.
Beau is due back this month from Iraq and Castle has been sitting on the pot for way too long. Senate Guru’s guess is that neither of them wants to battle the other. This may be true, but all we know for sure is that Mike Castle doesn’t want to go against Biden, otherwise he would have jumped in the ring, accepting all challengers.
For Beau, this suggests that if he comes back and jumps in the race with both feet, he’ll scare the “moderate poseur” into exile on the sunny beaches of Florida. While I am on the record as not being 100% behind Beau, I’ll take him in a heartbeat over Castle.

Me too Geek! ABC, Anybody But Castle.
But, unlike you, I truly like Beau. Not just because I am a yellow-dog Democrat but because he is a fine young man who just spent a year in Iraq serving the rest of us. With his family’s influence he could have side-stepped the whole thing, but he went. That takes character. I was talking to his Aunt Valerie a few months ago and she had just talked to Beau. It was 104 degrees wherever he was — he couldn’t say, too dangerous.
You know that nobody from the Vicmead Hunt crowd would do that! They might break one of their manicured fingernails, or miss a chance to cheat the American taxpayers of billions of dollars.
Beau is a real patriot. I will proudly vote for him if he runs.
