Beau Biden not running for the "Biden" seat

In a week where the Democratic party needs some good news, Beau Biden's announcement that he will run for reelection as Delaware's Attorney General instead of running for his father's, Vice President Joe Biden, old senate seat.

Beau Biden's decision to not run clears the path for 8-Term U.S. Rep. Mike Castle, the state's lone member in the House of Representatives, to take over the seat that Vice President Biden was elected to seven times.

I would call this a case of rats jumping off a sinking ship, but Beau Biden wasn't even on the ship.

Fivethirtyeight.com had the Delaware seat as the sixth seat most likely to change hands in 2010, with Beau Biden as potential candidate.  Without him, any Democrat running against Castle, who is a former Governor at Lt. Governor and has never received less than 55% of the vote in his statewide elections, it will be a tough hold for the Dems.  Putting this with Sen.-elect Scott Brown's mounmental upset last week in Massachusetts and the retirement of Sen. Byron Dorgan, the Democrats are having a bad week.
