Minner.Fact wrote:Wow, I wonder if they'll try to convince Minner to run against him since she's only a couple years older than Castle. Big win for Repubs nonetheless.
The DE Department of Justice is in a shambles, from what I've heard locally, and morale is low. The doofus will almost certainly be re-elected, however -- multiple bar exam failures and all. 
How many slam dunk murder cases have they botched the past two years? It's maddening.Ivytalk wrote:Yeah, Beau has to focus on the AG job that he effectively ignored for almost two years while serving in the safe zone in Iraq.

It doesn't help Beau that the current Dem governor has presided over both auto plants in the state (GM and Chrysler) closing up shop, the Valero refinery closing up shop, across the board pay cuts for state employees, and a big fail on the controversial sports betting issue. The guy just reeks of ineptitude.

...and it's certainly pragmatic to fail the bar exam...Fact wrote:Ok, a sizable number. A state's attorney general needs to be more pragmatic than anything, how they perform on the bar exam has very little to do with their competency in the position.

My god, if Joe Biden is far superior to Beau, words cannot describe how bad Beau must be!GannonFan wrote:Beau Biden is Delaware's answer to PA's Bob Casey. Both are beneficiaries of last names that their far superior fathers helped to forge and now they are just riding the names for all they're worth in spite of their lack of any other real credentials. PA elected Casey to the Senate, so at least DE hasn't followed in those footsteps.
Good for Castle - extremely good man (and very loyal Blue Hen follower) and he's much more of a moderate and independent Republican - he's the type of guy you want in government - he's not going to be beholden to either party.

I wonder if Rahm called Beau and threatened to beat him Chicago style. How embarrassing would it be for Barry and Co. if the VP's kid couldn't win.
For the record, I despise the Bidens and everything about them, but to really judge this guy's competency you have to do more than a topical examination.native wrote:Is that the best you can do?

So far you are merely damning him with faint praise.

93henfan is right. Biden's AG office has messed up some high-profile murder cases. He's now hitched his re-election wagon to a big downstate child abuse case involving a Lewes pediatrician. AG candidates often use their trial experience -- particularly prosecutions and convictions -- as a campaign prop. Biden did when he ran the first time. And bear in mind that the AG is the state's chief lawyer. His only client is the state. DE has a tough bar exam, but multiple failures are not a professional credential.Fact wrote:It's not like he's personally prosecuting people..

You argued this in another thread - what about Biden's performance as AG in Delaware has filled you with the idea that this guy is highly competent. On the contrary, his tenure so far has been incredibly disappointing. I'd love to hear the rebuttal to that.Fact wrote:For the record, I despise the Bidens and everything about them, but to really judge this guy's competency you have to do more than a topical examination.native wrote:

"Fact" has walked himself out onto the plank and doesn't know what to do. You're right, more a representation of the type of education he received. Then again, Bush was Ivy League...hmmm...Fact wrote:Ok, a sizable number.
