World Upside Down: wRong Williams Right
Ron Williams wrote in his column Sunday that Beau Biden will be running for Senate in 2010. Given that Williams was correct regarding Castle’s run and a Delaware Liberal writer was wrong regarding Castle, should we not take Biden’s run as a done deal? Can we take Williams comment, “Those close to the family insist […]
To Run or Not To Run, That Is The Question
As Beau Biden, the State Attorney General, gets back to work after serving his country in Iraq, the Delaware Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party await Biden’s decision on whether he will throw his hat into the race for his father’s old Senate seat. The Washington Post is the latest news outlet to chime […]
Washington Post: Will Beau Run?
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 […]
Biden In For Bumpy Ride?
In Sunday’s News Journal, there’s an article about Beau Biden and the possibility of him running. The article is tilted, “Senate run could distract Biden”. Now, I normally like Esteban Para’s writing, but not this time.
Is Beau Biden Annoyed He’s Running?
Comment Rescue of a response from Geezer to yesterday’s polling thread:
BREAKING: BIDEN / CASTLE TIED (Updated with more numbers)
Biden and Castle are statistically tied in the latest poll of the premier Senate race of 2010. Carney is up big against all possible Republicans.
The Invincible Mike Castle
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 […]

Rasmussen Polls The Castle-Biden Match-Up
A very special tipster (Jason330) passed along a tip to a new Rasumussen poll on the Castle-Biden match-up. Rasmussen also polled the Biden-O’Donnell race. Here are some results: The first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in the state finds that longtime Republican Congressman Mike Castle beats state Attorney General Beau Biden by five points – […]
‘Wrong’ Williams Writes Another Column About Nothing
A column featuring two huge ‘rumors’ with not one whit (although written by one nitwit) of substantiation. 1. Carper may not be running. Why? But at least two people have reported they’ve witnessed Carper trying to cover up a tremor in his shoulder. Note to Wrong Williams: My fingers sometimes feel like ginger ale when […]
Castle and Biden to Play Chicken?
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 […]
Rumor Patrol: Beau Biden Will Run For Senate
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 […]
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:
