Democrat's Top Recruit In Delaware Senate Race Passes
Monday, 25 January 2010

The Democrat's best hope for retaining the Delaware Senate seat formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden were dashed today when their top recruit passed on the race. From the Associated Press:

Delaware attorney general Beau Biden announced Monday that he will not seek election to the U.S. Senate seat once held by his father, Vice President Joe Biden.

The younger Biden told supporters in an e-mail that he will run for re-election as attorney general rather than seek the Senate seat his father held for 36 years.

Biden's decision comes on the heels of a GOP upset in Massachusetts last week that ended the Democrats' filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. It leaves veteran Republican congressman and former two-term governor Mike Castle, one of the most successful politicians in Delaware history, still waiting for a Democratic opponent.
