No One Messes With Beau... Well, Unless He Doesn't Run

Well, there's another good shot for a GOP pickup in the Senate...

In a major setback for Democratic chances in 2010, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, a son of Vice President Joe Biden, has announced that he will not run in this November's special election for his father's former Senate seat.

...Republicans already have a strong candidate in the race, Rep. Mike Castle, who has held the state's only House seat since 1992, and was governor for eight years before that. With a strong Republican in the race and currently no Democrat, this race has to be seen as a likely GOP takeover for now.

I wonder if people in the Obama White House are fantasizing about having Joe Biden resign as VP so he can run for his old seat. Not only because it might be the Democrats' best bet at holding on to the seat, but also because they'd be rid of Joe Biden in the White House.
