Beau Biden will not be appointed because he is currently on active duty, but in the spirit of democracy, he is expected to be elected.

I find that to be kinda sickening. Sure he seems like a decent guy but having successions from father to son does not seem very democratic to me. Sure, it happens all the time with Kennedys, Gores, Brownback, Tafts, and so on, but I gag on it every time. Beau will win an 'election' not so much on his own merits, but because he has the name recognition and connections that he got from his family.
