Freshman Senator Ted Kaufman had decided to make a run for the Senate seat he was appointed to, even though, this goes against he back room deal the made with Biden and Miner.
Kaufman has become the darling of the US Senate with the issue of banking reform. He’s shown himself to be one of those guys who says what he means, means what he says — well, except for the “I’m not running” crap.
With his Crusty the Clown looks and, insiders say, Mr. Burns personality, Kaufman has set the Delaware Way into a tizzy similar to a six-grade dance. Word has it that Chris Coons went on a rampage destroying office furniture in the New Castle County Offices when he heard the news. Apparently, the Coons camp has no idea where he is and they deny he’s shacked up in a motel in Rehoboth with Tom Gordon.
We contacted Mike Castle’s office and were hung up on immediately when we mentioned we were calling from Delaware Liberal. We tried to reach Christine O’Donnell, but we were unsure of which staffer’s house she was staying at.
