What if in the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama had selected Tim Kaine as his VP instead of Joe Biden? What would this mean for Joe Biden's career? would Kaine run in 2016? Would Biden run in 2016?
This sounds about right.Biden gets SecState. Hillary gets it later on, Kerry stays in the Senate.
Castle and Biden are both institutions in DE politics. Plus, Castle is pretty damn moderate.This sounds about right.
Tim Kaine fills the same "Generic Moderate White Guy" role as Biden. Kaine being from Virginia instead of Delaware doesn't matter; Obama won Delaware handily (>60%) and Virginia went to Obama anyway. Both the Virginia and Delaware state elections will remain unchanged, too, despite bumps or lack thereof from the respective candidates.
As an aside: Delaware elected a Democratic Senator and a Republican Representative (for their single at-large seat), both by 65%. Wha?
