FWIW, here’s the latest rumor from Political Wire.
Delaware Attorney Gen. Beau Biden (D) is expected to return from his National Guard duty in Iraq at the end of the month, reports WBOC-TV. The big decision awaiting him is whether he’ll run for the U.S. Senate vacated by his father.
“Barred from politics while on active duty, Biden has not been able to say a word about the expectations that have mounted while he was gone.”
However, Erin McPike reports it looks like Biden “is definitely in” the race and that would likely affect the decision making of the leading Republican who might run, Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE).
It sounds like the end of the month should be interesting. The end of September is also Mike Castle’s latest self-imposed deadline. Are Castle and Biden in some kind of dance waiting to see who jumps first? Anyway, I’ll go with my gut feel that Castle isn’t running.
