Many Democrats had feared this would be coming. Check out what VP Joe Biden confirmed to the Delaware Online (Wilmington News-Journal)
Well,
There always was a possibility that this could happen. VP Joe Biden recently spoke with the Wilmington News-Journal. In a Conversation with them he confirmed that his Son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden (D) doesn't want to be a Candidate for U.S. Senate this year. This could be a MAJOR blow to us as it would give the Republicans a second free Seat after North Dakota.

I also put up some Quotes from VP Joe Biden:
Spontaneously, he turned to the possible Delaware senatorial campaign of his son Beau.
Biden: "If you run into Beau, talk him into running; he respects you."
Me: "I don't think he wants to run, though."
Biden: "I don't think he does either. I know he doesn't want to. ... I'm so proud of the job he's done [as attorney general]."
Me: "Would you campaign for him [against Republican Mike Castle]?"
Biden: "Hell, yes. I told him I'd give him my sixth-born grandchild."
I doubt Beau Biden "respects" me, but it was quite startling to hear the vice president confirm what many Democrats fear -- that Beau does not want to be the candidate.
