I thought the polls showed Beau trailing Mike Castle who is or was a republican congressman from Delaware
Maybe it was polling, but I’ve got to believe they think that they can hold that seat 10 months from now, no matter what happened in Mass. Even if it looks bad now, they think that things will be better by then, and that TARP money will be spent strategically to help the election. Who knows, they won’t tell, but I have a suspicion that there was some reason other than bad polls that he is not running. Maybe he doesn’t want to be his Dad.
