Mike Castle, if elected, would serve the remainder of Joe Biden’t term and then retire in 2014, when he’ll be 75 y/o. He was leaning towards retirement, but agreed to run so that Obama wouldn’t have a rubber-stamp Senate. It’s not like he’d be a strong opponent of conservatives, but merely a way to pad Republican numbers for the time being. We can find someone more conservative by 2014, and it’s very unlikely that he’ll seek a full term.

Actually, if you know DE politics, you would find it much more credible that he agreed to hold this seat until the political climate is more favorable for Biden’s son, the current DE AG. Joe and Mike are good friends, both old boy Delaware career politicians. That is the way it works here. His career must end on September, 14.
