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 [...]

‘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 I’ve spent lots [...]
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 battle [...]
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.

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:

Final Thought
Sometimes I wonder if maybe Tom Carper is encouraging Castle to run for Senate, so they can go on riding Amtrak together for 6 more years. Castle would support Carper’s watered-down no-brainer environmental agenda, Carper would support Castle’s money picture schemes, and together they’d protect big corporations from consumers. I’m not saying Carper would actively [...]

DEwind: The Week That Was November 17th
This past week has been a little slow on the Delaware news as blogged by Delaware bloggers. We’ve had the stories that guessed who would suceed Biden as Senator, even a plea for Beau not to to Iraq and another to say he should and Beau saying he’s not interested in his dad’s seat.
Gov.-Elect Markell is [...]
Why Carney, Why Now?
Ruth Ann Minner must appoint John Carney to the position of US Senator as soon as Joe Biden steps down. Joe Biden is currently number 5 in seniority in the Senate. This is a big deal for Delaware. Joe got his pick of committee assignments, choice accommodations and a bully pulpit for his (Delaware’s) issues.
