DE-Sen: Castle Leads Beau by 5

[ccharles000]

Rasmussen (9/30):

Beau Biden (D): 42
Mike Castle (R): 47
Undecided: 6

Beau Biden (D): 49
Christine O'Donnell (R): 40
Undecided: 8
(MoE: ±4.5%)

These are the best numbers yet for Beau in a head-to-head against Castle. Back in March, Public Policy Polling had Castle up by 8 points, and a debatable Susquehanna Research poll from May had Biden trailing by 21 points.

Biden's back from Iraq, and everyone -- Castle, included, it seems -- is waiting for him to make the first move. There have been some mixed signals out of Delaware on Biden's intentions, but the overwhelming sentiment is that he'll jump into the race soon. So what'll it be for Castle: retiring to catch some rays in Florida or jumping into a Senate campaign?

1. Can we cool it with the fake polls?

Enough already, the election is a year away and I am still decompressing from, and celebrating the results from 2008.

3. Then hide the threads with them.

The 2010 election season is very important to a lot of states and the country and is already in full swing. In my state, Arizona, we'll be electing a new Governor, AG, Sec'y of State, Superintendent of Schools, and McCain is up for reelection in the Senate. No time for me to decompress.

5. Part of the reason I'm glad to be leaving AZ next month...

I don't see many of these races going well for us, except maybe Terry Goddard will win the Governor's race due to Jan Brewer's unpopularity.

This state is just too damned backward.

4. Oooooh, Beau.
