Vice President Joe Biden will head to Delaware sometime next week to campaign for the Democrat hoping to fill his former Senate seat.

According to CNN, Biden will stump on behalf of New Castle County Executive Chris Coons, who faces Tea Party-backed Christine O'Donnell in November.

It comes as no surprise that Biden will campaign for Coons, and Republican strategists say they expect to see him in the state more than once ahead of November. But the fact that Biden is being deployed so quickly suggests Democrats are anxious to cut off any momentum that may be building for O'Donnell, who has gotten significant national attention since her primary victory Tuesday.

It does.

Stand up and vote for Cristine Coons... Did I just say that?

[DesertRhino]

Anybody know why Biden is going there? I thought O’Donnell had no chance whatsoever? Seems like the Dems don’t agree ,,, hmmmmm

"The VP of the USA has to rush to campaign for a “sure win” candidate in one of the bluest states?"

Zactly!! If they were so sure this was a gimme, he wouldn't be going there. Maybe Rove is the magnificent bastard so many were talking about.... : )

[libertarian27]

Has there been a press release yet from the CBC(congressional Black Congress) on the use of the word Coon?

He should change his name to Raccoon - his name is offensive/s

Question.

Castle aged 71 was expected to serve out the term and retire in 4 years at what time Beau Biden would run and win the seat and have it for 30 years like dear old dad.

If Coons wins, the Biden family loses its family heirloom, err Senate seat.

Great opening for the lady, get a muzzle loader and a blue tick hound and take a picture saying she going Coon Hunting.

When is Obama campaigning for Coons?

This could get hilarious.

[deport]

Kiss of death?

HR

Biden defeated O'Donnell quite handily in 2008. I don't know what kind of influence he'd have but I don't see it hurting Coons.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR  257,539  64.7 % 
  
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL 140,595  35.3 %
