Washington Post: Will Beau Run?

Filed in National by on October 22, 2009 5 Comments

Long speculative piece from today’s Washington Post. I found these comments from Jack Markell a little–incongruous: “He’s not the type of guy who is going to let other people’s timetables dictate his,” said Jack Markell, the Delaware governor, the family-chosen surrogate. He argued forcefully that the prospect of Biden failing to protect his father’s seat […]

Filed in National by on October 2, 2009 2 Comments

I know there are posters here that believe Mike Castle is unbeatable and that if he enters the Senate race, he’ll win. It may be true that Castle would win the race, but he will have to work for it and not rely on his name recognition and nice guy reputation. I believe that Mike […]

In Which We See a Castle vs Biden Senate Race Becomes the CW

Tom Schaller over at Five Thirty Eight takes a long look at the possibility of a Republican taking the Senate seat previously held by Barack Obama. He cites an article written over at the Rothenberg Political Report notes that a seat held by someone who has gone to the White House (either President or VP) has flipped 50% of the time, but since the numbers involved are pretty small it is hard to know what that means. But before he gets to looking at the landscape of the Senate race in IL, he stops in Delaware first:
