3. Not with Mike Castle running against him
We love Biden here but I think that would not sit well.

Plus there was some sort of silent pact between Carper, Biden Sr. and Castle to never run or campaign against each other. I mean you never saw Biden or Carper campaign for the unknown Dem running against Castle and you never saw Castle campaign for the unknown Republicans that would run against Carper or Castle.

What really sucks is we're pretty much going to give Carper a free pass in the primaries since he would be a shoo-in to win in the general election and I'd really love to have a more liberal candidate in the primaries to run against DLC VP Carper.

At least Castle isn't a horrible republican, he is a bit moderate. And he'll serve one term and be done. The guy is already 77 years old. I just think he wants to retire as a US Senator - they have a better retirement package than a US Representative.
