Scott Brown is scaring potential Dem candidates into remaining on the sidelines.
I agree. Brown’s victory along with the results in New Jersey and Virginia make it a scary environment for Democrats. Beau Biden can run for re-election as Attorney General of Delaware and wait until Castle retires after one or two terms at the most. Incumbent Democrats in federal offices don’t have a similar luxury. Delaware is all but guaranteed to flip now, giving the Republicans two solid pick-ups along with John Hoeven in North Dakota.
