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.
