The new Delaware replacement for Joe Biden's Senate Seat will be the cochair of his transition team, Ted Kaufman, who has pledged to step down after two years, so that there could be an election for a new replacement.
Part of that makes sense in that it allows for a regular election for that important Senate seat. But there is speculation that Biden's son Beau, who will be returning from his tour of duty in Iraq as a JAG in a year, will run for that seat and that that is really what's going on here.
Question: isn't any state too small if the present Senator can maneuver things so that his son can probably win? They say we don't have a monarchy or an aristocracy, but when you consider how much power we give Presidents and how we treat Senate seats, it makes you wonder if we're any more democratic than Britain was when we declared our independence.
