Delaware governor names Biden aide as Biden’s Senate replacement.
MSNBC reports that Gov. Ruth Ann Minner (D-DE) named Ted Kaufman, a “long-time aide” to Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), as Biden’s Senate replacement today. Some suggest Kaufman will act as a place-holder to finish Biden’s term, stepping aside to allow Biden’s son and Deleaware Attorney General Beau Biden to run for the seat in 2010. MSNBC noted that Biden has still not announced when he plans to officially resign his Senate seat.

November 24th, 2008 at 3:17 pmWow the typos hurt my eyes!
November 24th, 2008 at 3:18 pmLOL… get me…
misspelled*
November 24th, 2008 at 3:18 pmNepotism, not just for republicans anymore!
November 24th, 2008 at 3:19 pmNot a good sign. This was a blatant deal (with Obama’s tacit approval) to preserve the seat for Joe’s nice but empty suit son to run for in 2010. The curretn Lt Governor lost a democratic primary for governor by about 1% and was the logical choice. He woudl have been too formidable for young Biden in 2010 so this deal was cut. What a drag…politics as usual.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:25 pmBeau could still face Carney in a primary and, if he wins, possibly Castle in the general. If he can defeat both of them, then he deserves the seat.
November 24th, 2008 at 4:09 pmAli – spell check is your friend. Do not be afraid of teh spell check.
