I was looking at my email the other day and a web ad appeared on the page for the Delaware GOP. I know they get charged if I click on it and I wanted to see what they are up to, so I clicked. It took me to their Stop the Biden Dynasty page, where they are trying to keep Beau from winning a Senate seat he hasn’t even announced that he is going to seek.
Vice President Joe Biden is trying to create another Democratic political dynasty in American politics. His son, Beau Biden, is preparing to run for the United States Senate seat his father held for more than 30 years. Help the Delaware Republican Party stop Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and their liberal allies! Donate now to help elect a Republican to the United States Senate and stop Beau and Joe Biden!
Someone needs to have their exclamation point removed from their keyboard! But it got me to thinking about dynasties in Delaware politics. One of them is the duPont family dynasty with Uncle Pete and Charlie Copeland. Is a dynasty of the duPont family cool, but for the Biden family not cool? It seems to me that the GOP has essentially told Charlie not to run for the House seat, because they don’t want to undermine their main argument against Beau. That would be as dumb as if John McCain were to undermine his experience argument against Candidate Obama by nominating a moron to be his running mate. OK, bad example…
