Little Delaware will get some national attention when North Carolina based, Public Policy Polling begins polling in Delaware to determine how Beau Biden fares against Mike Castle in order to see if there’s any chance Democrats don’t keep Biden Sr’s Senate seat in 2010.
They will also be polling to see how John Carney might do against Mike Castle in a hypothetical contest for the Delaware’s House seat.
The Bottom Line: While we know that Mike Castle is not running for the Senate, this news will raise John Carney’s national profile thereby making it more likely that Castle will retire rather than face a tough contest to retain his house seat.
